I got the job! WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy!! 
I bought two new purses and some sandals to celebrate! They where all half off at a major store’s weekend sale so it was even better. Yay me!
Now we have to look into moving. Eek! So exciting and terrifying at the same time!
The IBS Self Help and Support Group (www.ibsgroup.org) has a booth! Go take a look around for some great information!
I think my stomach has tied itself totally up in knots waiting for Friday to get here. Is it EVER going to BE Friday??? argh! Time has gone backwards this week for sure. I just want him to call about the job and put me out of my misery. One way or the other I NEED to know! Because I have an interview scheduled for next week and I would love to be able to cancel it!
IBS or virus?? I don’t know, but the last couple days have been horrible. I woke up at 2am Monday morning with horrible stomach pains and it all went down hill from there. I’ll spare ya’ll the details. In a nut shell, I slept on my bathroom floor the rest of the night and have barely eaten since Sunday night. I tried to go to work today but I just couldn’t stand the neasea.
I am really annoyed. Really. It is bad enough when I don’t feel well for a couple of hours, but it’s way worse when it lasts for… umm let me count… it’s going on 32 hours now.
I wonder if I’ll be able to eat lunch…
Yay! I made it through my interview on Friday and even managed to eat half of the sandwich they bought me. I think it went ok. This interview was all about getting to know me better and seeing how I would “fit”. So I guess I will keep my fingers crossed until the end of the week when he is supposed to make his decision.
I also survived a weekend at the in-laws. The Hubby played paintball and brought back some little creapy crawly friends. ewwww I hate bugs, but I REALLY hate ticks. I have itched from head to foot all day just from hearing about them. Other than that, things where uneventful. YAY! I did really good this weekend with the IBS control. We bought me some food so I stayed closer to my normal diet more than I usually do when I am there and I think that helped tremendously. I ate a lot of rice krispie cerealy this weekend. I didn’t get enough sleep but so far I still feel ok. But I will be going to bed tonight super early. I have no choice, I am barely awake.
boooo…. Tomorrow’s Monday.
….. and hope that this leads to good news! More medicines for IBS are needed desperately, so here’s hoping this drug trial works out well and leads to good news. I am so excited to see that it is aimed at IBS-D AND IBS-A.
Wahoo!!
IBS-A seems to be the forgotten IBS with a lot of other treatments. According to the article, it “…holds the potential for a unique and innovative treatment approach to d- and a-IBS.”
So I have my fingers and toes crossed that this goes somewhere helpful!
Bananas. Good!
Pineapple. Bad. (This one Hurts! Physically and emotionally. I love Love LOVE pineapple! I finally got my hubby converted to liking pineapple and now I can’t eat it anymore. sniffle…)
Coco Pebbles. Good!!
Fruity Pebbles. Bad. (this one I just don’t understand. it’s all the same artificial crap. Maybe there are too many artifical flavors or colors?? Can those be a trigger??? hmmmm….)
Father’s Day. Good!
Not being able to find what you want to buy for Father’s Day? BAD! Sometimes Wal-Mart just lets you down.
Am I the only one whose leg falls asleep from all the time sitting on the Throne?? I HATE when my leg falls asleep. It doesn’t just tingle, it freaking hurts. It can’t possibly be good for my legs. For some reason, only one leg falls asleep, and it’s always my right leg. Not that you needed to know that. I just needed to gripe, as I sit here waiting for my leg to stop tingling. (I bet you can’t guess how my weekend is going! ha. ha.)
I got a call back today for the job I REALLY want. They want to set up a second interview! Wahoo! I made the final four! I was so excited. So I called them back and I had to leave a message. No biggie, I’m a big girl, I can leave a message.
Well, apparently I can’t.
It was going good until I FORGOT MY OWN DAMN PHONE NUMBER! AHHHHHHHHHHH! All I could think of was the work number which I say a hundred times a day without even thinking. I had to call back and leave a second message with my phone number.
I can see my chances fading fast.
dumb dumb dumb
I wish he would call me back and put my out of my misery. “Sorry, I think I’ve changed my mind about you since you can’t even remember you own phone number.” Or maybe he just won’t call back at all. I want this job too badly. blah.
***updated!*** I still have a second interview. *PHEW* And after talking to him, I can laugh at myself. A little.
BUT! There is an issue!
The second interview is a LUNCH INTERVIEW! I asked him not to be offended if I didn’t eat. Then there where enough questions asked by him and info shared by me to figure out that turkey sandwiches will be ok. *phew* I didn’t want to not say anything and then just not eat, I think that would have been worse. So, we’re over one hurdle. Now, how do I get the bentyl in my system early enough to actually eat at lunch since the interviewing will be first and the eating will be second?????
I’ve been having pain and cramping all day. Blah. Gas too. Yippie. That’s the best part! ha. ha.
It is so much fun walking down a hall and having gas leak out with every step. Not that I have ever done that. 
/ Nope, not me.
The annoying *click*click* that high heels make when you walk comes in handy for some things…
Luckily tomorrow I will be in the office all by myself and school’s closed so if I don’t feel well and have to run to the bathroom a time or two, it won’t matter!
Sorry I don’t have anything more interesting to write about. I feel compeled to write but don’t feel well enough to write anything compelling.
ick, it’s getting worse.
