Another brick in the wall

I have been on leave since Aug 02 and each day has been the same. Lying around at home, waking up at 11-12 in the morning ! Breakfast, watching some tv shows, lunch, watching some more tv or rental movies. Catching up with some reading, dinner, some more tv and back to sleep ! No change at all. 

Health wise each day  has something new to offer, if one day its muscle cramps, the next day theres some pain in legs (especially calf muscles,knees) or burning eyes, skin irritation, etc. My appointment with the rheumy is now on Sep 11. Still long way to go. Some days it feels really good and I wonder most times why I have taken time off work. But even a 10 min walk these days wipes me out completely.

I do lot of reading - blog posts and lot of stuff related to my line of work which I never used to read before since work would engulf most of my time. However sitting on my computer and reading stuff takes a lot out of me. I just wonder if I should get a laptop. I already have a smartphone and a tablet. But sitting on the desktop for longtime really winds me up these days. 

My job situation is pretty strange right now. Definitely quitting my current job, and I am on unpaid leave for this month. Last day was supposed to be Aug 31. But will only go to office to complete formalities if asked to. Else I would prefer sometime later in September to finish up with those formalities. Would really feel weird to go now. Since I don't look that cheerful when I am sick ! Also those good byes will surely take a toll ! Last week took about 2 interviews. But somehow just didn't find the strength to finish them on a positive note. I am planning to take September month off work too. Just need to be physically fit to sit for 9-10 hours at a stretch only then can I think of work I guess.


Ciao n Peace.
