The nausea resulting from taking Ozempic has reached the point of intolerable. I will have to have this discussion with my doctor. It will be time to try a new GLP-1 drug. I am not taking this for weight loss but for being an actual type 2 diabetic. Happily I have lost a lot of weight as a result of taking the medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today I have to go into work for a 4p-12a shift. I am not looking forward to it because my tummy is doing back flips. Well, at least I will have done my required shifts and I won&#8217;t <em>have <\/em>to go in again until Thursday of next week. Of course there will always be call outs so I can optionally pick up extra shifts. I don&#8217;t know how much I am going to feel like picking any up though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am left sort of wondering if this is it. I am finding myself questioning whether or not I should continue down the road of self-employment. I don&#8217;t know if this is depression and anxiety talking or I am just objectively questioning what I am doing. A large part of me feels like I should just keep on marching with this idea. Do I set expectations or simply goals? I think goals are the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I did manage to get some work on building a WordPress and WooCommerce theme last night. At this point, any work accomplished is better than none at all. I am starting to get some ideas and run with them. I do feel good about that. I just wish my concentration levels would be better. Concentration is hard for me because I feel so icky most days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning I am feeling physically lousy.
