More side effects

sailorzeoOkay, so I've taken the metformin (met) twice now. First time taking it, no problem. Last night, though...whoo. Woke up at 4 am and had to dart to the bathroom. I'll just say, I'm glad I'm taking it now, when the potty is relatively close, as opposed to in OH, living with Matt's parents, when there was just one potty and it was downstairs.
Duke Health called this morning to get my 2-month follow up appointment and schedule my bloodwork. So, next Tuesday I have bloodwork and I get the containers for the 24-hour urine test to rule out Cushings Syndrome. That's not going to be fun, saving my pee for a whole day. And I wonder what other bloodwork they're doing? I though I'd already had all the tests done that they usually do. But now I know, when I go there, there's a paper I have to take to checkout so if there is bloodwork or anything, they can get it scheduled then.
And my parents are on their way. According to the schedule e-mail Dad sent me, they left Olean, NY at 7 am, will hit Pittsburgh by 10:30 or 11 am, and then they're staying overnight in VA. Tomorrow they continue down to NC. He's estimating they'll be here at 4 pm. "Here" meaning the campground. I still need to clean up around the desk area and do several loads of laundry.
Speaking of laundry, Chris is going to be moving out in a few weeks, if his credit check goes okay. Technically, he paid for the washer and drier, so they might be going with him when he leaves. That kind of freaks me out a bit, because I don't want to go back to laundromats while we save for another set. I'd thought Matt split the cost with Chris and the plan was to just pay him the $150 for his half when he moved out.
Overall, though, I'm not too upset at Chris moving out. We had a heads-up last week (end of July) when he went to look at a townhouse. Matt and I discussed and then ruled out the possibility of getting someone else in to help with the rent. Instead, I'll be looking for work to defray the extra costs. Chris paid about $400 in rent and utilities. If I can get a part-time job making $400 a month, we'll be at the same level we're at now. If I can get a part-time job that pays $10 an hour, 20 hours a week, we'll be better than we are now, and might actually be able to start paying off some of the big bills (my college loans, for example) or saving something. So I guess today, it's my job to brave the heat (it's 10 am and 80 degrees already!) and look for work, at grocery stores and the like. I hate retail. But if it's just a cashiering job, I think I can handle it. Probably won't get a $10 an hour cashiering job, though. I need to pick up a paper and see if I can find a decent call center job.
