6:30a- Woke to hearing the rumbling of thubder in the distance. Can feel the rumbling in my bones. Not a way I’d like to wake up. It doesn’t feel good. A storm is close by.
3:59p- chest hurting with sharp pains. It hurts after it gets icy cold.
6:48p- sitting trying to relax for evening. Trouble getting comfortable. Whole body aches. Rt Earache. Tooth & jaw ache too. Neck hurts. Tired. Low back aches. Thirsty. Using heating pad. Feet are cold.
9:23p – rt arm and wrist throbbing, muscles in left arm spazing/twitching
10:15pm- decided to check my blog. Noticed I had my first comment. Took a bit to figure how to “approve” let alone reply. One day I’ll figure it out. Gotta keep on trying.
I also added a new post. Still in Sept 2017 from journal entries. It’ll take me a little bit to catch up I think. One step at a time. I had to stop because it gave me a headache and my chest is hurting bad again. Need to rest. Hopefully, I’ll fall asleep quickly. Goodnight for now.
11:25. I’m so thirsty.
Dec 29
12:41am- I’m still wide awake. I close my eyes and see spinning disco balls it hurts so I open my eyes. My hands and forearms are tingling from leaning on them. Sharp pain in chest is keeping me up. I guess I’ll try that 10 breath thing and maybe counting my blessings.
7:25a- I guess it worked. I finaly fell asleep sometime after 1am. I’m still hurting but not as bad. Still very congested. Neck hurts and legs throbbing. Hands swollen and achy.
Eyes watery. Very thirsty. Headache.
8:00a- decided to make kids do Saturday clean today. I’m tired of not being able to do it and I know for certain as soon as I try I’m down again. I’m just starting to feel better from sickness I don’t want to knock myself back down. On Cipro for sinus infection.
Kids didn’t like it too much at first but did a great job. Mom even came over and helped some so I could focus on year in review project for church & bulletin for tomorrow.
1:00p- took lunch break to rest and watched a hallmark movie.
7:00p- Joe noticed house was clean. I feel good.
10:00p- Dezirae had to help me do my nails. Trying to use peel n sticks but I had trouble peeling. Actually had to splice a few nails but it works for now. I’m thankful for my daughter’s willingness to help. I’m sure they get tired of me being so dependent but I haven’t heard them complain.
11:00p- bulletins done. Year-end project is 90% done…just a few more pics to sort through & transfer to usb. I’m exhausted!
Stuffy nose, post nasal drip, entire back throbbing, muscles in left arm twitching randomly, feet freezing even though had socks on most of day, slight headache (wore my glasses most of day to see if it’d help – while at computer), center of chest hurts. I managed to get it to pop once today which relieved alot of the stabbing pain. Wheh! That stabbing pain really wears me out.
For once in a long time, I feel like I accomplished something today. Thank you, Lord. Though I started day with thoughts of trying some stretches but that didn’t happen. There’s always Monday to start. Hehe!
11:11p- one more thought…we got a water filter for Christmas. I’m really enjoying it. Need to remind myself to write a Thank-you. Kids have easily incorporated using it fairly easily. Yeah!
Able to partially fix my mom’s computer too. Dezirae used google to figure it out rest of way. So smart! She wasn’t able to play any videos. It’s working now. I don’t like windows 10. Its hard to navigate when I’m used to windows 7.
Meal planning is so difficult for me these days but it really helps keep my anxiety levels at minimum. I had a set plan with repeating breakfast & lunch schedules so I just had to plan dinners but I misplaced it. Just keep trying until something works.
Very thirsty. Sharp pain under left rib thru to back
Dec 30
6:00a- had alarm set to get up a little early, but that’s not happening. Headache. Muscles in lft leg and right side are twitching/spazing. Hands & fingers tingling pins. Snoozing for a while.
11:00am- feeling kinda woozy. Migraine has ensued. I’ve taken relpax hoping it will help. Vision is slight foggy. Neck hurts. Playing piano for church. I’m not a fancy pianist even so its not gonna be an easy task today. Ugh! I need to rest my brain as its been overtaxed lately. Lights hurting eyes. Wearing sunglasses indoors not good.
12:49p- feeling very weak…gonna crash for a bit
12:50p- body keeps jerking as I fall asleep
2:00p I think I may have slept for 45 minutes…nice cat nap. Headsche is easing some so that’s good.
5:30p – Mom & Joe were talking about taking vitamins. He hates taking meds even if he has to. He thinks I’m taking too many. I asked, “So what do you want me to do stop taking them for a few days?” To which he quickly replies, “Yes.” Ugh! I walked right into that one without thinking. Now I have to go without for the next few days expect for my blood pressure rx. I don’t think this is going to turn out pretty.
11:55p- muscles in rt leg twitching, body aches all over, neck hurts, feet tingly. It’s now after 12 and I’m wide awake. I guess I’ll read the Bible on my phone for a bit. Had several books on my kindle app but they disappeared somehow and I can’t remember how to get them back.

Dec 31
4:25a- woke from bad dream. every inch of me aches. I’m hot even though fan is on high. Husband and son left to go hunting. I don’t recall him giving me a kiss goodbye.
5:01a- hands and fingers tingling and stinging. Nose stuffy.
8:00a- I wonder if a storm is brewing bc I hurt all over. Rt ear popped & it scared me a bit. Need to get up. Still quite congested. I’m tired. Eyes watery.
10:20a- slight headache. It’s pouring outside. The nerve endings in my hands and arms are stinging. Rt hip aches. Foggy brain. Eyes feel blurry. Resting a while to see if it helps. Activities thus far: made bed, showered, made coffee for Joe, made tea, put dinner together in crockpot (turkey soup), put a load in dryer & load in the washer, made green smoothie for breakfast
11:30a- Joe got home from hunting. Asked how I was doing. Told him I have bad headache (it’s gotten worse) and I hurt from head to toe.
12:00p- Dad & Mom treated Dezirae and I to lunch at Olive Garden. I couldn’t eat much but enjoyed it. We went to Dirt Cheap afterwards. Found a few items. Damage less than $5. I’m ready for a nap now. Had the soup, salad, & breadstick.
3:10p- I’ve got to crash for a piece. No energy. Stinging needles in hands and arms, chest hurts, legs & feet feel like I worked out for heavy hour. Ugh! A short nap will help.
5:00p- wow a 2hr nap. Hands are stinging. Low back aches. Toes ache.
11:00p- staying up with kids til midnight to ring in new year. Joe works tomorrow so he’s sleeping. We are watching movie until just prior to midnight to watch new Year’s fireworks on tv.
I can’t handle fireworks anymore. Make me jump and cause pain – nerves hurt and loud noises bother me. I still like to see them from a distance.
