April 19

7am oh, I hurt all over! Periodic sharp stabbing pain in rt side of chest kept me away most of night. Snoozed alarm…5 more minutes.

8am oh bother, I accidentally turned alarm off. Waking up late.

830 Joe & Jakob help me shuck beans for lunch. I hate waking up late it puts me in a rush and I don’t handle it too well. This is the day the Lord hath made I don’t want to be grumpy but it’s so hard. It’s hard not being grumpy when you hurt so bad. Headache bad.

Woke with deep pain in bones all over. Took me a bit to get moving.

Took Rae to work – cleaning elderly friends house. I sat mostly to keep her company but did help some.

At some point while we were there Rae put my hair in bun without me knowing. I was unaware until she said something while we were heading to take my laptop to pc guy for repair. My CD drive quit working. Thankfully it’s still under warranty. Praise the Lord!

Checked on church people to see how they faired storm. Everyone seems to be okay.

Joe came home feeling like mud. Think he has sinus infection. It’s that time for it. Asked me to make him a Dr apt. Tomorrow at 9:45am. He wasn’t up to what I had for dinner. Back to drawing board. Took me an hour to ponder what else to have…ended up with steak tips & gravy over mashed potatoes n corn. Winner.

This momma one tuckered out cookie. I hurt all over but I feel good about myself bc we got to be a blessing to someone else today.

Whole body hurts. I’m exhausted. Sinuses congested. Forgot to take am meds. Hopefully I can get some rest tonight.

Whole body hurts. Arms and hands numbish and tingly upon waking. Low back & rt hip throbbing. Hands swollen and throbbing.

925 going with Joe for his Dr apt. Hard to believe people think they need to be tested for covid19 because they have diarrhea.
