Even though I have a houseguest sleeping in my office (my dad was gracious enough to come stay with us so the recently hemorrhaging boyfriend isn’t left alone while I work), I find I still have to get up a little early and drink coffee before I can face my day. Yesterday I tried just getting up and going to work, and I felt off kilter until about 10:00. Apparently I require both caffeine and RSS feeds to wake up. Who knew?
I have been listening to a great podcast that I recently found through another blog. It’s called Buzz out Loud and can be found at http://reviews.cnet.com/buzz-out-loud-podcast/. You can subscribe through iTunes. It contains geekery, but they branch way out to discussing cars and all kinds of stuff. The podcasters are hilarious. My friend L recently said, “What’s a podcast?” I will have to blog on that later since I have only 8 minutes before I have to get in the shower and go to work. 
Podcasting and RSS feeds aside, after today I have three days off to sit around with the boyfriend, making sure he is OK. We are both still recovering from the last few weeks. It is creepy to realize that your loved one (or YOU, in his case) nearly died, literally. He exhibits signs of PTSD, I think. He has nightmares that he is bleeding to death, and he often holds has hand under his nose and starts to choke even though there is no blood. He keeps “forgetting” about these events and then I can see him remember. I hope it’s temporary, because I know this cycle from panic attacks! Pretty soon he will be so afraid of precipitating a bleed that he will not do anything at all. I hope he gets better soon.
how scary! i wish you both the best. he has a good caretaker, that’s important!
