Lightning Strikes – 4-6 August 2020

Aug 4

Pretty good day I think.

Took Joe to work so I could have car. Needed to take Jordon to get khaki shorts for work. Also, sitting with elderly friend for few hours before picking up Joe from work. Able to get onions in dehydrator. Got 3 life jackets done. Found Joe a new to him suit for $25.

Accidentally learned how to brighten my whites. Attempted to wash whites in oxiclean (Biz something or other) but ended up soaking them for couple hours bc washer is acting up. Washer finally cycled through. When I was finally able to fold for putting away I was amazed at how clean and bright they were!

Remembered random memory from before meeting husband about a guy on his wedding day asking if he’d ever have a chance with me. I told him no. He said he had to know. I have no clue why that even popped in my head. I can remember where I was standing and that it made me feel very awkward. I definitely wasn’t going to be the reason the wedding would be called off. No siree!

Memory problems…

Following videos posted on one of my LS support groups.

Is it a memory problem or something else?

Turned too far right and rt side cramped up making it difficult to move. Had to stop and be still for several minutes to get it to ease.

Sharp stabbing pain in lower lft abdomen. Exhausted.

228 I’m plumb exhausted. Need a nap.

Kids are frustrating me.

530 Joe gave me kiss on forehead and I felt like I was running fever. Took my temp. It’s low grade 99. He was kind and cooked dinner for me too.

All the noise in the house right now is overloading my brain on top of me being frustrated. Jordon taking food handler class online. Washer going. Jakob on phone with his girlfriend. Music from I don’t remember where. Everything is crashing in on me. Joe steps in and calms the noises for me.

630 I’m feeling drained and wiped out.

Scraped my knee and don’t know how. I do know how I got the bruises on same knee.

7:00 going to bed. I’m done functioning for today. Need to unplug and recharge.

920 still wide awake but laying in bed. Whole body throbbing. Random sharp pain in lower left abdomen causes me to double over. Don’t know why but just know it hurts.

Rt hip throbbing. Headache. Hands smell of onions. Feet throbbing, tingling. Lower lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling. Low back throbs. Eyes crusty & heavy. Lft knee sharp stabbing pain. Hands throbbing. Calves tight and burn like did extensive workout but I haven’t. Need to walk in neighborhood. Thirsty. Neck hurts. Center of chest rt side hurts.

937 just discovered I didn’t take my morning meds. Night meds taken. Naproxen. Sleepy time lotion. Lavender oil diffusing. Immune blend eo applied to bottoms of feet.

Very strange dream that makes no sense, rhyme or reason to where it came from or why.

700a in much pain all over. Did too much yday. Headache. Throbbing from head to toes. Tired.

Planned on working on blog today but that didn’t happen. Too many things to do and not enough time. Need to learn to write lists more frequently so I can keep up and feel accomplished (or at least remember what I did. Lol).

Cheddar Bay biscuits flopped and got squished. Chicken Zucchini casserole was bland and squishy/soupy. Need to tweak it next time and only bake not slow cook it. Ugh. Joe asked me to type something up for him for church tonight and I messed that up too.

700p note to self…don’t try to balance checkbook on a church day. Brain gets too foggy afterwards. Makes it extra difficult to focus.

720 tried the earbud suggestion while playing piano. Took bit of getting used. Think it helped.

Woah! Took earbud out of rt ear when I got to my seat. Flood of noises rushed to my ear. Fan blowing across room sounded like hurricane winds. Child chewing on something.
