Here We Go Again
And we’re back to the breathing issues and broken-up sleep. ☹ Knew I would be sooner or later. Yesterday, I noticed my nose was getting stuffy again, and I woke up struggling to breathe through ...
The Benefits of Being Unforgiving
I read an article written by someone who lived in the US and Italy comparing the two cultures. One of the things they pointed out was how Americans tend to hold grudges, whereas in Italy, someon...
75K Words
I finished my VR challenge ride last night. It was a 24-mile ride through southern New York. It was very lush and green for the most part. I’ll be back in Lithuania tonight, continuing my way do...
Fucking Politicians
I went to create another profile on Facebook, but it said I can’t have more than two additional profiles. That’s interesting because I only have one additional profile right now, and it certainl...
Writing and Coloring
My Home Sweet Home coloring book came today, and I’ve definitely been on a coloring spree. There are 31 illustrations and got most of one picture done already. The drawings are very homey, with ...
I'm Back...I Think
I wasn’t keen on the idea of doing daily updates on a site that still has technical issues, but I kind of miss it and the interesting comments I get at times. Do keep in mind that this is my jou...
Goodies
Looking forward to my new Home Sweet Home adult coloring book that’s coming tomorrow. It’s not numbered, but it’s always been appealing to me for some reason. For just $2.50, I got a cute throw...
Repotted
I repotted my five succulent plants all by myself. It was pretty simple since they’re so small. I moved them out of their 2-inch starter pots and into 4-inch pots. Each one is a different color:...
Arrested
So this woman was arrested for threatening yet another insurance company that overrode doctors’ orders and declined to pay for the health care she needed, whatever that was. Ridiculous. Just fuc...
CEO
Tom’s out getting his flu and COVID shots, and I’m going to take my chances this year. I’m not out enough and exposed to enough people to be worried about it. Then again, I did catch the norovir...
Better
Another day of feeling better—good sleep truly makes a difference. Rhonda and Clonazepam are wonderful, too, lol. However, the clonazepam leaves me feeling slightly hungover during the first few...
Deep Cleaning and Chinese Food
I slept a whopping 10 hours! Ten hours! Just like the day before, I had energy for hours but lost it way too soon. Tom says it’s just going to take time to recover. Hopefully, he’s right. I stil...
Rhonda
I saw Rhonda yesterday and felt really awful when I first got there. I was horribly exhausted and anxious, but it wasn’t the anxiety I get from the medication if I’m not careful. It was just bei...
Off the Charts
My fatigue has been off the charts, and I’m feeling more hopeless than ever. Maybe when I see Rhonda in a few hours, I can get some answers, but I’m not holding my breath. I hate how much longer...
154 lbs
I hit a new low of 154.1 lbs and the plants are adorable and look healthy! I might finally be getting better!!! Huge relief after having such a rough 8 or 9 days! Just a little short of breath ...
Still Struggling
I’m still struggling with constant sleep disturbances and overwhelming fatigue. Sometimes I wonder if I’ll even have the strength to walk into Rhonda’s office on Monday and the dentist’s office ...
Not a Happy 59th
The liver test seems to have disappeared altogether, but my thyroid antibodies are at 135 when they should be under 9. So, the attack is still going on. I’ll have to ask Rhonda if this would sto...
Skipped
I skipped today’s dose. I’m still a little winded and anxious but getting a bit better. I still have a lot of fatigue too, but I think I’ve finally stopped suffocating in my sleep. That doesn’t ...
Long & Shitty
Although I managed to get more sleep, it’s been another long and shitty day for me. I’m utterly exhausted and still quite worried. I got about 8 hours of sleep, but it was far from restful due t...
Drafting
I’m going to start drafting this entry as I lie here feeling exhausted, depressed, anxious, and totally hopeless. Damn, do I miss my healthier days! I miss so many aspects of the old me, but I f...
Mixed Reality Rocks!
I have great news, okay news, and shitty news. Where should I start? I guess I’ll go in order from great to shitty. The amazingly shocking and great news is that my TSH is 5.50! Just one point ...
Alive
Sometimes I just want some alone time when he’s awake, but then I feel guilty because, hey, he’s alive! He’s alive. Would I rather feel like I’m not getting enough space, or would I rather never...
Resigned
I’ve already resigned myself to the fact that my TSH levels are going to be horrible, but I’ve definitely learned something valuable—something the so-called experts should have pointed out to me...
Amazing
I slept amazingly well last night for the first time in ages. I didn’t even wake up to pee, and I don’t remember snoring or waking up much at all. It’ll probably be months before I sleep that we...
Unfair
If I could brainwash myself into believing there was a good loving God up there listening to me, all I would have to do is ask that He makes sure I feel like shit almost every single day because...
