I decided to ask for next Friday off, mostly because it's the day before our big show and I'm going to be worrying about the performance and likely to have very little brain power left with which to accomplish stuff. And I just got all my vacation and personal days back so I figure why not? Gives me a chance to get Kage back to the vet as well, which should be loads of fun.
I'm very happy to say that a schedule jam packed with rehearsals has helped me shed a few pounds and exchange some flab for muscle. I still don't like what I'm seeing most of the time, but my own reflection doesn't make me outright shudder any more. Baby steps. I got through most of our last rehearsal without wincing whenever I caught a reflection of myself and from certain angles I almost liked what I saw. So I guess, go me!
On the other hand my stomach is back to being rather bad again. I've given this proton pump inhibitor 6 months to work its magic and I seem to be getting worse rather than better. I think it's time to go talk to the doctor again and see if we can try something different. If anyone on here has acid reflux and can offer any suggestions regarding treatments I should look into I'd be glad to hear about it.
Edit: Forgot to mention that while flipping channels last night I happened to catch the last 3.5 minutes of the Buffalo/Washington game. My beloved Sabers were behind by a point but playing like fiends. I mean they were just skating circles around their opponents and damned if they didn't tie it up quickly. Then, 30 seconds or so left in the game and they pull out a win. Even got an empty netter but apparently the buzzer beat the puck in so it didn't count, so 5 to 4. It was a true thing of beauty.
Also my sis sent me a pic of my niece in her Sharks jersey and I think I have to frame it. It is beyond adorable.
