Health Update

So, I finally had my first visit with the new psych doc. My anxiety was through the roof. I remembered five minutes before we had to leave that I needed to jot down all my meds I've been on. Then my cat was trying to trip me as I left because his bowl was empty and another cat nearly attacked me wan...

Not a Bad Day

Today went better than the last few days. Got up a little late but not aching too much, no headache and the swelling in my legs and fingers has gone down some. That's always nice. I made some coffee (which I never got to drink) and heated up what was left in the pot then went back to my room becau...

A Netflix Kind of Day

Today started a little rough but turned out okay. I decided to make coffee right off the bat which is always risky. Sure enough the kitchen was a disaster which meant something like making coffee turned into a huge ordeal that completely wore me out for the rest of the morning. First, the sink was ...

An Okay Day, I Guess

Today went okay for the most part. I woke up kind of late and still sore. I'm now starting to think all the soreness has something to do with my blood pressure. My legs and hands are so swelled all of the time, they just hurt. I took my blood pressure twice (once right before my pills and once an h...

So Tired Right Now

Well, today didn't go as planned either. I couldn't fall asleep last night and then just as I started to, my cat began acting up because I wasn't paying attention to him at nearly 5 in the morning so I had to get up and let him out of the room. Finally fell asleep but then woke up around 8 because i...

Another Quiet Day

Didn't do much today. I had hoped to go to Joann's and Walmart for more yarn and other things we need, but it just didn't happen. The morning was fine, although I'm still sore all over from the cleaning I did on Tuesday. I got some coffee and ate some of the cookies the 14yo made last night and wor...

A Day of Ups and Downs With Chronic (Mental) Illnesses

All in all, today went okay, but it was a rough start. I woke up with my back still killing me. I must have tossed and turned all night because the blankets were pulled out from around the mattress and I had kicked my heating pad a good foot away from the bed. I usually half-wake up early in the mor...

A Little Smoother Day

I woke up super early again today (a little after 8am), but this time, it was on my own. My daughter must have just gotten home from work because I heard the shower going. The baby was asleep in my other daughters' room so I snuck downstairs to make coffee and feed the cats (the 10yo was still sleep...

First Full Day of Babysitting Not Going Well

I yelled at a baby. My back hurts so much I can't move. And only just barely kept from cussing out my entire family including said baby. This is just day one and it's not over. My daughter still hasn't left for her overnight shift at her new job where I'll have to continue to watch my grandson afte...

A Fast Day With Chronic Illnesses

This was one just one of those days that seemed to fly by and before you knew it was over, and you didn't actually do anything or get anything done. I woke up around 10am and went downstairs to make some coffee. That already put me off because there were dishes everywhere. I told the oldest daughte...

Was an "Okay" Day Then My Son Gutted Me

I was having an okay day for me. I didn't really get anything done, but wasn't feeling utterly fatigued either. I managed to get the dishwasher going and clean out old/expired food from the fridge. I made dinner and even spent a while outside, cleaning the moss from the porch and driveway with a hos...

Very Sleepy After Little To Do

The title basically says it all. I'm just so sleepy right now. I can't focus on anything. My eyes keep sliding shut or crossing. But it's after 6pm so it's too late to take a nap. I have to try to stay awake until bedtime. It's really hard because I also can't really do anything. I can't read becaus...
