Little Quicky

I really don't have too much to write, I know that I am pretty much the only one that reads my own posts anymore. Thats perfectly fine with me though. It is a nice journal to store my thoughts over the years as things change. I read over some of my old posts the other day, and so much has changed. Life is completely different now.
On to current topics...I am off of my thyroid medication for 3 weeks, starting yesterday. With no thyroid and no meds to control it I will be so tired. I am really not looking forward to the effects that it will have on me. It is almost 48 hours at this point and I am tired already. But the good news is that in 3 weeks I will get blood work that will show my thyroid hormone levels and also bloodwork do a cancer marker that will show if I have any traces of cancer cells. If so I will need to get my next round of radiation. If not then no radiation. I am thinking positive that I will not have to do another round of radiation. The first was so bad, that I don't want to go through it again. I feel for those that go through it for months and years. Mine was nothing compared to theirs. I looked at pictures of myself during that time and my face and neck was so swollen. I hardly ate for a month after that, because I was always sick to my stomach. My nails even got a crazy groove in each of them from the radiation, that has since grown out.
I worked 90+ hours in the past 2 weeks because of how busy the winery was and to help cover the owner while he went to our vineyard to prune the vines. It was an interesting week. I had to fire a new employee that was not working out at all and that hasn't happened there for years. Lucky me got to handle this one. I actually was scared because this person was very volatile and not in a good place mentally. Everything turned out well and the owner fully supported me in it.
Other than that I will now snuggle with my love and finish the night with a movie. Good night me, and whoever else may read this :)
