March 30

3:30a woke think I was late and back throbbing

800 back throbbing & I’m tired.

810 Decided to take a shower. It’s like a work out for me now. Arms cramp and burn when I try to wash my hair. I have to take multiple breaks just to get that done. Low back starts hurting more by time I get finished with shower. Out of breath and need to rest for a while before tackling next task. Hopefully one day this task won’t be such a challenge. But thank God I can still do it.

1043 feel like I’m about to pass out. Ugh! Why am I so tired? How can I fix this? Feet freezing. Under blanket but need to put socks on. Going to lay down for 30 minutes or so.

5:30 very tired. Fell asleep in chair in Lr for 30 minutes or so.

900 figured out partly why I’m tired. Been working on next month’s scripture journaling and devotional. Not finding much commentaries on gentleness. Harder than I expected. Wears my brain and back out quickly.

Thinking and focusing tasks make my head hurt. It’s like it takes all my energy to try to get a task done. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish tomorrow. Worked on it in spurts off and on all day.

1050 Decided to braid my hair. Whew! Not quite ready to do that yet again. Out of breath. Arms burning & cramping. Hands & fingers burning, throbbing. Upper back throbbing. Stinging in lower back. Wore out.

March 31

745 very rough night. Fell asleep sometime after 1am the woke around 3am with legs cramping and throbbing. I hurt so bad all over.

Slept till 7:45a.

820a Jakob having trouble calling in for classes. Something about being charged for conference call. Joe called carrier. Told most carriers don’t have contracts with them anymore so you’ll get charged. Ugh. Took a bit but he finally figured it out.

In midst of this upheaval, Joe discovered I forgot to pay phone bill. Ugh! I thought for sure I did. Frustrated. Spent next while trying to locate receipt to no avail. At least I had it already deducted in checkbook.

No energy today. Fleeting thoughts to do stuff but no motivation or ump to move. Seasonal allergies kicking my butt.

Joe getting on my nerves being home with this quarantine.

My cough is getting more frequent. It’s annoying more than anything. Trying to keep hydrated to keep mouth moist. Lots of post nasal drip due to seasonal allergies. Pollen bad this year.

1000p wrote character trait devotional. Finished chowing verses for scripture journaling. Hopefully will work on putting it all together tomorrow.

1138p whole body aches. Low back throbbing. Hands swollen and achy. Exhausted. Praying I fall asleep soon.
