STUDY day today!

FINAL EXAMS!!!

Time to break out the books today!  I have completed all of my lessons and it's time to study for the big FINAL exam!  I have been pushing it back and pushing it back, but time is running out.  The steroids make my brain wander in a gazillion directions, but it must be done. 

Yesterday I procrastinated taking the Final to the point that I spent the ENTIRE day organizing and filing papers.  See most people don't realize procrastinators are NOT lazy.  They don't sit around and do nothing, they do anything to avoid the thing they SHOULD be doing.  It took me a lot of years and a SUPER procrastinating daughter to see this and realize it.  She will do a gazillion productive things to avoid that one oil painting she should be doing for art class.   I feel great about what I accomplished yesterday luckily.  The fact is though, that final is still lingering there, waiting to be taken care of.  It's time to get it done.

I had another allergic reaction last night.  I grabbed the Zantac and Benadryl right away.  I had one 2 weeks ago and the doctors assumed it was the Lialda.  After a lot of blood tests and insurance company intervention, now I am supposed to go on Imuran, Humira got denied.  I don't want to take these stronger drugs if the Lialda isn't to blame.  I want my doctor to send me for allergy testing.  I'll call tomorrow and see what I can do.  I don't seem to be reacting yet today so maybe I'm just becoming allergic to everything.  That's a scary thought.  I don't have a good track record with these things.  My body doesn't like many medications.  They are running out of good antibiotics to give me as it is.  Now, I've ruled out a slew of Ulcerative Colitis medications.  It's not just annoying, it's scary.

Well look at that, here I am blogging and talking about allergic reactions, and yet still procrastinating studying for this final exam.  See how easy that is? Still being "productive" technically, but avoiding the task that needs completed...
