Feb 25

7:30a – woke with calves throbbing and feeling like I got beat up 

10:00a- It’s apparent that we’re going to have to get our dog put down ðŸ˜¢ Gracie is very sick and suffering. Family had a boohoo moment. Will take her within next week. 

11:25a- Joe not work today. Decided for us to turn in taxes to cpa. Though I’ve been slowly working on them since December, I’m not ready yet. Took morning to try to finish up. Feel like I’m forgetting something but don’t know what. Dropped off at cpa. Explained I think it’s all there but not 100% sure. Stressing out!  Will call if they have questions.

11:55a- Headache. Brain fogging over and feels scrambled. Tailbone throbbing. 

2:15p- really need to lay down a while but have to run to store to pick up Dezirae’s curtains & one of my meds.

Tongue looks a little better this morning. Discovered the gluten free bread I’ve been eating sparingly has yeast in it. Ugh!

4:00p- decided I better take some D.E. so I’ll have energy for tonight. Invited to revival services at three different churches going on this week. Feels oddly nice to be invited places for a change. Doesn’t all make sense to me, but I’ll go with the flow. I trust my husband’s judgement.

11:00p- attended revival services at another local church. Guest preacher is Andy Gleiser. Name sounds familiar but I can’t place it.  It was nice visiting with people we knew. Felt like the popular kid for a change -odd but nice.

My legs are aching. Calves throbbing. Tailbone swollen and throbbing. Hands swollen and achy. Brain foggy. Toes hurt. Upper back aches. 

I enjoyed having Joe home today for a change. Even though I’m in pain and waiting to take next pain rx it’s been a good day. I’m glad my faith doesn’t depend on what kind of day my God is having. Whew!

7;00a- finally fell asleep shortly after 2am woke at 4:30 back awake at 7a

Rt hip & low back throbbing

10:30p- went to food pantry today to get a little food to hold us over until payday. When we got home, we were getting food out of trunk. I forgot trunk didn’t stay up on it’s own. Dezirae let go as I leaned forward and the trunk came crashing down on my head!!  Ouch!! I cried instantly. Went to bathroom to see if it made a mark. No thankfully. I just want to go to sleep but know I can’t. Have to give quizzes. 

12:45p-Heading pounding. Need to lay down for a piece. Calves throbbing and legs feel extra heavy.

5:23p- think I’ll be okay eventually. Muscles twitching randomly throughout body. Calves ache. Back throbbing. Laying down to rest it momentarily. I’m so tired.

I can feel my muscles tensing up in thru my body. It doesn’t feel good. I can feel my.energy draining. It hurts so to lift my arms to do my hair usually have to ask Dezirae to help.

6:00p- need energy to attend revival services at another church in town. Not drinking D.E. because I was up til after 2am! Drank cup of coffee.

10:21p- enjoyed services. Guest Pastor was R. Ouellette (sp?). Revelations 3 not being lukewarm Christian. Went forward to altar to pray. Didn’t think it through. Knelt down to pray. It hurt to kneel so I ended up sitting on my butt. When it was time to get up, I thought to myself shoot didn’t think this through how am I gonna get up without making a spectacle of myself. Lord, please help. Thankfully, as I was getting up my precious husband swooped in and leant a helping hand. Brownie points for sure. Whew!

Tired but wide awake. Chest hurting, rt hip throbbing, feet and toes ache, suppose to eat lots of yogurt. Head hurts. Took muscle relaxer. Hopefully I’ll fall asleep soon. Hips hurt. Figure if I’m gonna hurt all the time I can hurt at church just as well as at home. Might as well enjoy the company of others while the pain isn’t too bad and I’m not so grouchy. I love singing. It encourages my heart so. I’m not able to sing much at our church bc of playing the piano. It’s okay cuz music sets the tone of service. I like hearing the people sing too. shoulders ache
