Jan 19
7:30a- fell asleep sometime after 1am. Woke sometime in middle of night to nose dripping. Grabbed kerchief to stop it. Checked with phone light. My nose was bleeding. Had to sit up bc I started choking. Took a bit to get it to stop. Feels like life drains out of me when it happens. Don’t like that feeling.
I’m aching awfully all over. Hurts to move.
8:35a- just sitting in bed and nose starts bleeding again. Ugh! I don’t understand what’s causing them nor how to fix it.
5:00 Joe cooking dinner for Dezirae’s dinner – grilled kabobs & bacon wrapped asparagus.
7:08p- sitting at table after clearing table from dinner my nose started bleeding again. I dislike bloody noses – it makes feel very weak afterwards. Took 5 minutes to stop.
11:58p- my lower back aches as if aunt flow will visit soon. Some days I feel like I can’t catch a break. I had a good day overall.

7:00a- I slept decent I think last night. Woke in a sweat like my body’s decided to start perimenopause symptoms again. I was experiencing it prior to the strike, but it stopped after being hit. So though most women would hate having those symptoms I’m thankful because to me it maybe that my body might be becoming more normal – though I don’t really know what that is any more.
3:00p- laid down in nursery to take a nap. Just as I was dozing off Joe came into room to tell me about phone call. Not able to fall asleep. lower back throbbing.
5:30p- Mom asked me about my homemade ranch dip mix recipe. Figured out I made blooper on some of ingredients. No wonder it’s been too strong. Haha!
6:12p- vision is blurry. Muddled through playing piano tonight. Trouble focusing and knowing where we’re at. Neck hurts.
10:18p- I’m exhausted. Hopefully I’ll fall asleep quickly. Whole body aches.

8:00a- forgot to set alarm. Not sure when I fell asleep but it was sometime after midnight. Slept pretty hard I guess. Brr! It’s cold in here.
9:00a- Need to finish grades for 2nd quarter.
12:30p- My eyes & brain are getting blurry. I keep thinking, “How did I do this last year. This hurts my brain?” Need to take brake.
2:00p- I’m feeling exhausted all of a sudden need to crash for a bit
8:03p- legs ache, thrush still not gone though I am finally seeing spots of red on tongue…not sure if I should get rx refilled or call Dr.
11:55p- center of chest aches. Found exercise that helps pop chest to alleviate sharp pain (toe stretches – not what I think it’s officially called but it’ll help me remember), rt hip hurts, lft hand and fingers went numb today, rt ear aches, low back hurts. I just heard an owl in our back yard – that’s pretty cool. He’s quite noisy tonight. I wonder what he’s saying.
Jan 22

12:00p- trying to finish up grades to turn in tomorrow. Eyes getting blurry. Putting on glasses to see if that will help some. Nope.
2:00p- center of back feels like ice – need to go warm up!
8:41p- center of back feels like ice again. Remembered I have an electric heating pad. Think I’ll use that to warm up with cup of hot chocolate with coconut oil.
11:49p- back of tongue is finally starting to look pink front of tongue not so much. Able to finish kids grades today and able to turn in tomorrow. Yeah! Heating pad & hot chocolate didn’t happen. I tried sitting but it hurt too much so I got up and got sidetracked -washed load of clothes
Lo back hurts, feet ache, headache, eyes watery hands swollen and tingly, neck hurts. Skin feels like pins and needles
