July 11
5:20 not sure why I woke so early.
Songs on mind: ♫ Blessings ♫ & ♫ Surely Goodness and Mercy ♫
Whole body aches deeply. Lights bothersome. Tired. Nerves stinging throughout. Strange taste in mouth. Thirsty. Eyes watery. Feel hot like I broke a fever. Temp 98.3 Amos 6-9; Jeremiah 32:17; Isaiah 26:3
Fell asleep until 8:00. I guess I was more tired than I thought.
2:00 rt hand kind of stings. Look to see why. Some how I scratched my hand twice and was bleeding. I have no idea how I did that. Managed to wash comforter for mission house, and three loads of clothes. Folded and put away two loads of clothes. Unload dishwasher.
Cat been acting strange today. She keeps climbing in my lap and lying down wanting to pet her and scratch under her chin. She’ll jump down after few minutes then come back several moments later. She normally wants nothing to do with me. Lol. I wonder if she can sense something’s wrong?
Helped Dezirae cut out strips of paper for koala tree. Worked on Daily Assemblies for VBS and got them typed up for next week. Later, I worked a little on the songs, but a severe thunderstorm popped up. As I was shutting down the computer, the electric went out for a few moments. I quickly unplugged the computer and went to living room and covered up under my blanket. Feet were chilly. I immediately started praying for Joe and Dezirae as they were at her piano lesson.
Dinner: Italian Chicken, garlic parmesan noodles, and mixed vegetables.
Today was pretty good day overall. I think the Ginseng is helping with energy. While I needed to rest a while, I didn’t take a nap midday. Little PTSD when severe thunderstorm rolled in, but managed to fair okay. Slight headache when working on VBS things but eased when I took breaks. Hands and wrists ache deeply and seem a bit swollen. Low back aches but not too too bad. Legs throbbing. Muscles burn upon exertion. Feet throbbing and tingling. I’ve trouble with my muscles cramping and spasming periodically today.
Thankful for…
- Having a good day
- Joe took Dezirae to piano lesson
- I was able to cook dinner
- Mom came for a visit
- God has been good to me
Curious as to reason for all the vials of blood taken for each visit
July 12
6:15 woke couple times in night to use restroom. Woken by alarm from bad dream.
Matthew 4:4; 2 Chronicles 27; Isaiah 9-12
Isaiah 12:2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
Went to food pantry today. Mrs. Donna said their group prayed for me today. I thanked her. I was tired out after putting the cold food away. Thank you, Lord.
After resting, decided to try to do few chores. Cleaned out microwave. Washing bathroom rugs. Cleaned a bathroom sink and straightened up counter. Refilled soap containers. Refilled eo face cream and frankincense roller for cysts. I’m exhausted and need a nap. Laying down for a nap. Music playing on Spotify. I have headache. Slept for about 20 minutes. Phone staying busy. Family calling. Friends texting. Holly came over and wiped down the kitchen cabinets for me. Worked on VBS music for a little bit. Created Facebook event on church page.
Joe cooked dinner – tacos. I’m feeling a bit nauseous. Ugh.
9:00 feeling has passed.
10:00 time for bed. Put clothes in dryer. Dezirae helped bring in the bathroom rugs from line. Don’t want them to get rained on over night. Did some journaling. Headache. Skin itchy. Muscles periodic cramping throughout day if I moved wrong. Lower back throbbing. Rt hip aches. Nerves stinging mildly moderate. Legs ache and muscles burn. Feet tingling and stinging mildly. Ears ache. Hands ache.
Thankful for:
- God’s provision of food today.
- Joe cooking dinner
- Holly coming over to help.
- Able to snag a prime deal on a business backpack for Jordon for college.
- I think the Ginseng is helping me with a little energy even though I still wear out easily.
- I still have hair on my head.
