Does that translate to dust mites?

Speaking of dust ... back on steroids and with more energy, so I finally... FINALLY... gave our most-used rooms a damp sponge/ bucket of water dusting. It was so terrible, I hadn't dusted in months.

Dear daughter put me to shame by grabbing our (cordless HEPA) vacuum (such a wonderful gift from hubby!!) and vacuuming the floors a week ago, which were equally disgusting. So I got out out our 30+ year old monster, the one that can suck staples out of floorboards , and vacuumed the door mats, and finally dusted the house. It wasn't a spring cleaning kind of cleaning, but at least the house isn't terrible anymore.

Whew!

The only way I can keep things easier to clean is to box them up in some way. That way I don't have to lift and dust each piece. I've been agitating for decades to have acrylic doors put on our bookcases. Huhby says it makes the books look inaccessible. Easy for HIM to say, he doesn't have to dust.

Been agitating for a while for some sort of dustproofing for his tools in the garage too. But does he listen? Nah..... He'd rather complain how dusty everything is.

Tomorrow is the last predicted heat blast: 105F (41C). After that, a day at 102F, and after that it drops to 90F (32C) and then finally 80-ish (27C) for the foreseeable future.

Whew!

Fall is really in the air up here. Need to wash my winter coat soon.

. or weather finally(!) turned. Yesterday was cooler but still at 90F (33C). Last night was awesome sleeping weather.

My friend up in the foothills got an evacuation warning yesterday. There are three big fires burning now, thanks to the intense, looong hot spell. But after determining that the fire was heading away from her, even SHE had a good night's sleep for a change!

I don't know what it is about that hot, interior wind that drives my sinuses and nasal passages nuts. We have an electronic air cleaner (electrostatic precipitator if SECOND wants to quibble about terminology) in our central system, and a HEPA air cleaner in our bedroom, plus AC and a humidifier if the air is too dry. In spite of all that, I have to use steroid rinses, Astepro spray antihistamine, spray and occasionally liquid decongestant, oral antihistamine, and nose strips just to get a crappy night's sleep. Last night my sinuses finally emptied and I slept like a baby, just with steroid rinse and oral antihistamine. It's a puzzle! Wish I could get that relief all the time.

Interesting sets of quakes. Last month's quakes on the Puente Hills blind thrust fault, where older rocks from the northeast being pushed up on top of younger rocks to the southwest, in three distinct waves...



this one at Malibu, on a completely unrelated fault line (small orange dot).

Oh, I totally understand! I go thru phases where I can barely get off the loveseat. Everything goes to hell.
Right now I'm on a modest dose of steroids which has boosted my energy to normal levels, but for two months before that it was just an effort to get up.
Wish I could help!

How are you sleeping? If your sleep is being disturbed by a stuffed nose, aches and pains, too much light, some other discomfort*, or- God forbid - nocturnal seizures, that could be the source of your fatigue. I know you have thyroid issues but you're taking meds for that. Maybe you need a boost???

I may have mentioned Hashimotos thyroiditis, but it often comes along with Hashimotos encephalopathy, caused by autoimmune attack on the thyroid, and causes all kinds of symptoms, fatigue being the big one.

*For me, it's a badly stuffed nose.

Sleep has been a HUGE issue for me. Much if the time its a very badly stuffed nose that keeps me awake, but at various other times its been arthritic like aches and pains that made my shoulders and hips hurt so bad they kept me awake, or heartburn. Daughter has a really hard time falling asleep. In her case we think it's neurological. Tried everything. I feel sorry for her, she wakes up so tired.
