May 4
745 slept hard. Weird dreams but can’t recall. Tired. Bad headache. Nose congested. Bloody and starting to turn green. Nor good. Center chest hurts. Whole body aches. Hurts to move or lie still. Lights bothersome. I have screen brightness all the way down and screen is still too bright.

818 I have a health tracker app on my phone. I made a goal of how much water I wanted to drink a day and I have successfully been able come close to or achieve daily goal (because it reminds me thru day). I’ve not been able to achieve the steps suggested as my legs, back, & hip fatigue easily so I have decided to set a small goal and work at that for a week then gradually increase. I’m happy to report I was able to exceed 1200 steps today.
