Day: January 27, 2021

Jan 9

8:00a- slept a little longer than 6 hours. Good. Hands & arms numb & tingling. Low back throbbing. Legs crampy.

8:32p- I am exhausted. Needed to balance checkbook and pay some bills. Ended up trying to collect info for filing taxes. Got myself confused. Took me four hours and a headache.

Also had to go grocery shopping. New menu board is helping. Thank goodness. Dezirae helped me shop. By time we were done, I felt like I was gonna pass out & hurt all over.

Joe & Dezirae helped bring in groceries while I started putting them away. Dezirae helped finish put items away and then I started working on dinner.  

A simple meal (Chicken pot pie, sweet potatoes, & cherry crisp) took me two hours to fix bc I was moving slower than normal due to exhaustion and pain. I wasn’t even hungry by the time it was ready. I even forgot to eat lunch. 

9:56p- tongue has been bothering me most of day. Just looked at it in mirror.  Looks like lesions forming again and it’s covered in white! Ugh! 

Asked question on Facebook. Two responses: geographic tongue or thrush

9:43a- I am so tired. No energy.

11:54a- Periodic chills throughout day, legs feel heavy & crampy. Trying to get kids grades together to turn in for second quarter. I keep confusing myself on subject and what quizzes were taken & when. Thought I was behind on Jordon’s Science quizzes, but ended up working ahead couple of weeks. Not a bad thing in my state of mind. I have one more subject for him & then I can concentrate on Dezirae. She won’t be as hard -I think- bc she’s not in high school yet.

4:00p- called an made Dr apt for tomorrow at 2pm. Tongue is bothering me. Neck is throbbing rt side. Headache. Tired & no umpf. 

10:29p- Really messing up my words, phrases, etc tonight. Had family in stitches. I’m not even comprehending what I messed up. Whatever I said, one of my kids asked if I needed a lightbulb. I just rolled with it and claimed, “Oh, the abuse I get from my own family. There’s no safe place to run. Oh!” They cracked up even more.

At least we can still have fun together even if it’s at my experience. LOL!

Chest is bothering me tonight. It hurts to laugh. I told Joe don’t make me laugh your hurting me. It was too late anyway bc they were already laughing over what I messed up on that was so funny.

Jan 23

2:47a- still wide awake. Headache has become a migraine. Seeing spots in the dark. Skin feels like pins and needles. Background light all way down plus night owl on and this light still hurts eyes. Praying. 10 breaths. Counting blessing. Muscles shaking. Need to calm brain. Next quote Scripture. 

6:40a- last time I looked at clock it was 3:17a when I was reaching for melatonin. Awake again.

8:15a- realized I still needed to fix hair and put makeup on. My left hand jerked while putting mascara on and accidentally poked myself in eye with mascara wand. Ouch!

9:12a- made it to co-op in nick of time. Wanted to be there earlier. Headache has already started.

Wind blowing so hard outside I can hear it whistling inside.

2:00p- went to pick up my 2nd round of rx, but found out that they were out of stock. Tech called two other pharmacies and they were out of stock too! Ugh! I don’t have energy for this. Lord, please help.

 3:20p- after little rest I was able to find it at CVS with coupon from goodrx. Thank you Lord.

4:00p- storm rolls through. Too close thunder and lightning roll sounds like boom close to house. Scares me!!! Nerves instantly on edge! Lord keep me safe til the storm passes by!

8:30p- crashed for about 20 minutes. I’m still tired.

9:30p- had Dezirae braid my hair so it’ll be wavy tomorrow. 

10:22p- need to switch to magnesium malate (it helps defeat thrush plus other benefits)

11:36p- skin itches, brain hurts, eyes watery, extra thirsty, hurt all over, tailbone aches, rt hip aching

How does one stop neuropathic itching? Ugh! I just need some sleep please Lord I’m so exhausted.

Jan 24

4:30a- woke thinking I woke up late.

Legs cramping. Headache. Sneezing. Throat dry. 

 Have to take Joe to work bc I need car for sons dental apt. Had fleeting thought of rescheduling but it’s already been rescheduled once before. 

He working at post I’ve not been to before today. Had to use GPS to get home. unfamiliar territory. Almost got lost in parking lot. Just want to cry. Can’t cry need to focus on road hard enough in dark as it is.

7:15a- gonna take a nap. I’m exhausted. Need to get rid of headache.

8:00a headache has eased. Hands & left arm numb and tingly. Tummy gurgling (it has been for a few days now. Not sure what that means). 

10:56a- at dentist office Jordon getting cavity filled. waited (wish I had analog clock) 45 minutes before he was called back…think we’d still be in waiting area if I didn’t ask how much longer. 

Feet freezing, headache easing (took migraine rx), hands swollen and achy, lights bright bother eyes, man playing game/video on his tablet across room is as loud as tv, low back & rt hip aching, neck hurts, wish I could calm the itchies.

1:30p- need to pick Joe up from work. Have kids with me to help navigate. I only remember to certain point. Dezirae remembers most of it. Jordon knows how to retrace steps on GPS on phone. I’m a little nerve wracked about it, but trusting God to help us.

2:08p- I made one wrong turn but we didn’t do tpo bad. A brownish red bird just flew into windshield. Scared me. I saw bird but not expecting it to hit us!  Nerves on edge. I’m tired and feel weak.

2:40p- I just want to cry!!! Our only vehicle just broke down on side of road. The clutch broke. Auto mechanic said it would cost over $1,000 to fix it. We don’t have that kind of $. Lord, what do we do now?

5:03p- Just got car towed to house. Now on way to church for services tonight. Not sure about getting car fixed but I can pray for God to provide.

Mr Tow Truck guy suggested calling around for prices. Mr Transmission on Airport to check price.

Center of chest is turning icy. 

7:21p- Not too familiar with #77 O That Will Be Glory practiced okay but couldn’t keep up during song service ended up plucking one note. Ugh! Forgot how to end song. Ugh! 

Though flustered all’s fairly well considering all the stress that’s going on especially today with car breaking down
