March 22

253 church gave me card for pastor wives appreciation. I didn’t suspect anything until Joe said we all have to be at church tomorrow whether I’m feeling good or not. Saw Mom with a card. When they presented the card, Joe said that they were planning a big day to show their appreciation but it got partially cancelled due to the coronavirus. Lol ! The church people signed the card. It was nice to be appreciated anyways.

305p went to use restroom. Something red caught my eye on Joe’s night stand. I was having difficulty focusing on item to see what it was ended up tripping and falling into the bathroom sink and bruised my left forearm. Told Joe in case I wonder later why my arm is bruised.

I really hate this memory trouble issue. It makes me feel like I lie (tell false truths because I honestly don’t recall things).

1129 amount of people having covid19 seemingly rising. Rumors that President Trump will issue nationwide are at home order to protect Americans. Three states already on lockdown (NY, CA, & WA). LA will be on lockdown as of 5pm tomorrow. Jakob still in KY. Joe may have to go up and get him. Rumors that nationwide lock down could last as long as 10-12 weeks. Nice. Guess that means I’ll have to homeschool using only curriculum I have on hand. Really wanted Jordon to do the astronomy class next year. It’s expensive so I was waiting to see it go on sale. Praying for God’s wisdom and protection. I definitely don’t have 12 weeks of food stored up.

Upper back and neck stinging throbbing. Arms and hands tingly. Arms & shoulders sore. Low back throbbing. Center of chest throbbing. Rt hip hurts. Stinging in rt foot periodically to point it make foot jump. Lower let leg tourniquet tightening feeling with some numbness. Lft foot burning. Toes tingling.

640a low back throbbing. Calves crampy. Headache. Hurts to move.

800 pain easing as I move to do few things around house.

Today’s chores: wash our clothes, make homemade cream mushroom soup, make homemade bread. Also packed up one box of Jakob’s stuff. That’s enough for me. Whew!?

1015 received word that Wal-Mart had some bread. Limiting it to one per person. I’m over it. Called mom. She was getting ready to go to Costco and asked me to go with her. pray ok my have good night sleep. I’m utterly exhausted

March 20

0600 I hurt worse today than yday. Every inch of my body is throbbing and I have headache to boot. Random sharp needle pain in corner of eyes which makes them water.

955 both legs and feet feel like they fell asleep and are waking…extreme pins and needles sensation entire length. Ouchy mamma!

1. Take look at your life. What are the stressors. Is there anything you can shift or change? Take time to breath & meditate (17:34). Stop and pause a moment.
2. Established a daily routine. Get adequate sleep. Wake up & go to bed about same time each day.
3. The one food you love most. Get rid of bc it generally causes you the most problem (17:55).

1000 God’s been good today. Was given a pan of fettuccini, 2 zucchini, 2 squash, 2 onions, 5 heads romaine, 4 heads of iceberg, and case of sliced mushrooms.

Toes cold. Sinuses congested. No bloody noses today. PtL! Read something today that said nsaids make coronavirus worse. Bloody noses started back up about week ago. Silver lining.

Dezirae kind as she helped make brunch this morning.

Told Joe I need an adjustment. He agreed. Asked to make apt with new chiropractor. He agreed. I really want to try Olena Wellness but I’ll have to save $ for that.

1130 Joe inquired if there were mandatory stay home policy put into action do we have enough food for two weeks? I don’t know. Had to De-ice and inventory freezer. Ugh! Not something I was planning on doing.

645a had to take Joe to work this morning bc mine’s in shop. Very dense fog made it difficult to see. Thankful Rae in car with me. Got bit confused as to where to go. Dodged head-on collision in my lane on Sollie. Big pickup truck turned on Sollie into my lane. Scared me. Missed turning on my road to neighborhood.

Lower lft leg & foot muscles twitching. Feet tingling. Rd hip throbbing with sharp pain in butt region. Headache. Woke to bloody nose. Tired and need to rest.

1100a had to go to co-op to pick up files. Had impulse urge to stop at thrift store to look for file cabinet. Found a four drawer one for $10. Yay! Decided to buy black paint to cover rust marks.

1230 stop at store and morning errand wore me out. Came home. Ate lunch and rested a bit.

230 Decided to try painting file cabinet. Half way through my fingers had trouble cooperating. Took me a bit to get project done.

530 few hours later project is creeping up on me. I’m in much pain. It hurts to move. Headache worsens. If only crying would ease pain I would but it won’t so I’m not. Really could though.

700p Can’t get comfortable so I decide to check on some people to see how they’re doing.

 

March 19

800 woke in extreme pain. Decided to take pain rx so I can get out of bed. Whole body throbbing. Dr side stomach muscles spasming…feels rather weird…almost like combination of baby kicking violently from inside and hundreds of butterflies fluttering inside stomach.

It hurts to move. Took me an hour to muster up energy to get out of bed.

Nerves stinging through put body. Have to remind myself that pain let’s me know I’m alive.

1000 worked on establishing a daily routine for our house. Maybe that’ll help me feel like I’m getting back to some normalicy.

1150 need to bring home the Christian counselling paces and start them.

Decided to work thru routine. In doing so, folded clothes for Rae to put away on her bed. Started load of laundry. Arms & hands stinging. Short of breath. Exhausted. Resting for a bit.

In studying for ladies devotions and trying to figure out details to incorporate a Titus 2 ministry, thought came to mind. Maybe it’s good thing I’ve forgot how to do a lot of things bc it gives me fresh perspective on how to start establishing daily routines, cleaning chores, etc.?

1000 got Jordon to clear out broken dresser out of his room. Decided to clean & straighten pantry. Finished Rae’s laundry. Wore myself out. Joe decided to send me to bed after dinner so I could rest bc he doesn’t want me to get sick. It irritated me to be secluded from family. Rae came and watched a movie with me

March 14

1005pm  tough night. Woke several times due to abdominal pain. It got worse when I tried to move. It eased by morning but cramping spans would flair if I moved too much. Took me a bit to be able to get up this morning.

Stayed home to rest from soul winning today. I hated doing so but I could hardly move. Joe ended up cancelling it anyways due to this Coronavirus scare. Media hyping up more than needed.

People need the Lord. I cannot imagine living in that much fear that your afraid to run out of toilet paper. Taking some precautions is good but some people go overboard. I wonder how much media would hype it up if it wasn’t an election year.

 

March 15

1208a I’m wide awake. Congested. Need to blow nose but afraid it’ll bleed again. Not sure what’s cause this tome. Not using benadryl. Stopped using naproxen. I hurt for it too. Tylenol only helps ease headache a smidge. Frustrating.

Hands swollen and throbbing. Eyes watery. Headache. Low back aches. Rt hip aches. Lower lft leg tourniquit tighten feeling with some numbness. Feet tingly.

Praying for Rae as she’s not feeling good. Went to bed early. Sore throat. Headache. Chills. I wonder if there’s a symptom checker.?

630 set alarm to take shower this am. Tried to move to get out of bed and rt side cramp horrobily.

730 read 1 Corinthians 3 &4

1053 home with Rae sick today. Trouble with bloody nose lft side. Can’t figure it out. Feeling quite weak now.

500 took two hour nap. Not feeling so good. Exhausted. Bad dreams kinds of. It’s like my brain is working through all the traumatic events in my life and working them out…maybe it’s God helping my brain to transfer them from muscle memory to brain memory. I know it sounds crazy. Most recent was my first love in college. After we were talking about getting married, I was devastated when I found out the news I did and we weren’t getting married. My brain scanned to loving husband I’m married to today and Jeremiah 29:11. My brain was okay that my past turned out the way it did.

Dezirae starting to feel better. We’ll see how she’s feeling tomorrow. May have to take her to Drs. Current regimine 1500mg Vitamin C, elderberry 2 capsules, and zinc 3xs day. I’m doing same.

1000 feeling quite lousy about now. Whole body aches differently than normal. Center of chest hurts. Headache has been dull most of day. Lower lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling with some travelling numbness and tingling to foot. Periodix abdominal cramping thru day. Muscles hyperactive spam mode…not sure cause of sudden frequency. If I turn just so sides start spasming and I have to sit still and/or double over until they subside. Coughing. Bloody nose lft nostril all day off and on. Finally found a nasal saline spray to moisten nasal passage to see if that’ll help.

Praying for God’s blessings to produce much fruit.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Afterwards my dreams calmed and it was like my brain was reliving my life.

1220a burning pain up and down spine. The longer I lay still the more the pain in body increaseth. Cramping in thighs.

700a every fiber of my being hurts. Arms hands and feet numbish and tingling like their trying to wake up from sleeping. Back throbbing and itchy. Headache. Chest center hurting. Legs throbbing and cramping. Feel like I’ve been beat up. Eyes watery.

Oh bother. Just remembered I need to type of song services for revival. Coffee cake must make. List of to dos so I don’t forget. First must I read & pray.

0651p usually people with tbi have hormonal imbalance from it.

1123p crazy busy day. Nothing went as planned. Hamburger browned in crockpot all day. Was supposed to be gone for couple few hours home to rest then vote and go work on small project at church. Ended up being gone all day.

1st store didn’t have item I wanted. Had to add stop to route. Ugh!

Mailed gift to a friend, but accidentally flipped last two digits on zip code. Mail lady caught it and graciously looked up correct code. Whew! Avoided mishap thank you, Lord. Done that a time or two before.

2nd store had item I was looking for and two liter cokes on sale! Plus! Decided to take over driving bx traffic to getting too heavy for my comfort zone. I’ve already yelled at Jordon to slow down and stop faster. Nerves feel jittery can’t handle it right now. Don’t want to cause accident.

Spent while looking for black lace at 3rd store only to get frustrated bc they wouldn’t let me use my 40% off coupon. Tired to explain that they let me before but manager wouldn’t budge. I left store without a purchase.

Bought a gift at unexpected 4th store for friend’s kids.

Enjoyed much needed rest and lunch with a friend at 5th store. Jordon helped with shopping by taking part of list and getting items too.

Decided to let Jordon take back over driving. I’m exhausted and wearing down.

As leave from 5th store, get text that evangelist is on way. Instead of going home have to go straight to church.

Called Mom to let her know what’s going on and that they’ll have to meet me at church.

On way to church realize that I don’t know if food got put in mission house bc guys decided to handle it. Ugh! I’m frustrated. Brain is foggy and the errands are taking their toll from the day. Quick prayer that the evangelist is safely delayed so I can check to see if everything is a okay.

Get to church remember air fresheners are still in trunk. Have to go plug them in. Discover I bought wrong ones don’t have receipt or time to exchange let alone remember where I bought them. Think outside box and transfer liquid from new bottle to old bottles. I thank God that I bought extra eggs bc there are none purchased. Thank you, Lord! Quick straighten up and proper place food purchased. Mission house ready.

Jordon brought food purchased for Thursday into church while I was in mission house. My kids are such a blessing. Few tweaks had to be made but he did good overall.

Mom arrives. Begin to work on planters. Evangelist shows up. I must greet guest. Kids take over helping mom. We converse for short while and Joe shows up. I’m relieved. I’m feeling the day catch up.

I’m excited about the greenery in pots. They’re hardy plant. Mom’s had them for long time. I need hardy plants. Have difficulty remembering to water plants. Let alone not at church every day.

Got bit by fire ant on inside rt ankle. Feels like somethings chewing my ankle off! It hurts!!!

Finally home around 830p. I’m exhausted and just.want to colapse.

Just realized no fruit purchased? Ugh! I think I need to type up a general food guest list to keep handy for future use.

Whole body aches. Headache. Neck hurts. Shoulders & upper back stinging needle pain. Center back throbbing. Low back and rt hip throbbing. Leg muscles spasming. Hands and forearms stinging tingly. Lower lft leg tourniquit tighten feeling with some tingling. Feet tingly. Exhausted and hurting like I tried  to run a marathon collapsed and ended up crawling just to cross finish line.

Good night.
