1050 I’m exhausted and hurting. Need to take nap to recharge batteries.
Commented that I don’t know why I’m sooo tired.
Dezirae says well you’re not used to making breakfast, a birthday cake, and frosting.
I argued that I didn’t do much.
Dezirae replies, You haven’t done that much at one time since your lightning strike.
I thoght a moment – true.
It has also been a rough of extra pain and migraines from the two Hurricanes that came thru Gulf this week! When I feel this drained, I must rest a while before I can do anything else.
Need to go get items for Joe’s bday dinner. He wants fried chicken, mashed potatoes, asparugus, peanut butter cake with peanut butter icing.
215 exhausted and head pounding. Joe got ice pack for my head. Laying down a bit. Gotta get better unable to get much done in this state

8300 clouds getting dark. Looks like it’ll rain any moment.
900 rain let’s loose and down pours. I’m soaked. Good thing I not curl hair this morning. Mascara burning my eyes. Shoes soaked. Ugh!
1120 much trouble playing piano this morning. Can’t seem to coordinate my brain and hands. Eyes are very heavy. No energy.
Three visitors in church this morning. PtL!
345 took a 2.5 hr siesta. I wanted to stay longer but knew I needed to get up.
530 daughter reminded me her shoes broke this morning and she was barefoot. Took her to DG up the road. Not much to pick from. Thankful they had totes everywhere getting ready to restock. Asked if any of totes had shoes. They had cutest pretty lacey looking shoes and had her size.
600 forgot to pick offertory hymn for evening service. Started to look for one but got distracted. Service started.
Difficulty playing some of hymns not that familiar with. I know them (I Want that Mountain) but my brain is saying it doesn’t remember much of it. Some hymns I look at and go completely blank trying to play interlude before starting hymn (I can’t even recall the name of hymn – so frustrating at times). Intro is terrible. Once I start playing hymn, brain says Oh I know this one and I do fairly well job most of time.
Some days my brain is so tired and overstimulated that no matter what I just can’t seem to coordinate my brain, fingers, and keys. Today I had to just stop playing on last stanza bc I just couldn’t get it and though I asked God for help. It was more help to keep me from having a meltdown that help play it even fairly. Of course, it didn’t help that I have been dealing with extreme pain and debilitating migraines all week.
Never mind that my house is a mess, behind on laundry, grass needs mowing (can’t mow wet grass), need to log grades, haven’t planned meals for week yet, and a long list of other things needing to be done. But God in His rich mercy put me in the path of a great chiropractor that not only recognizes the pains and multiple things I’m dealing with but is also able to help me. I felt immediately relief upon my visit Friday and am continuing to get relief from migraines. Still have headache but at least I can function some now. Need to slowly steady my pace but I will survive with God’s help.
No thoughts about it again until hymn just before offering. What ever am I going to do? Mind wants to panic. Heart asks God for help. Can’t blame no one but myself. Decide to play hymn next to hymn just sung. Whew!
Rabbit trails are strange at times. Lol.
1047p whole body aches. Feet tingling. Low back throbs. Legs achy burn. Hands tingly and swollen. Rt nostril slightly bloody but at least I can breathe clearly without congestion. Headache. Night meds taken.
