I hope her visit is productive. There's only so much anyone can do remotely. Best of luck.

Too bad about the game.
I hope the tiles are with you tomorrow!

Wow, still 80 at 8:30?? At least around here it cools down in the evening! It's 70 (21C) right now (8:45).

Absolutely! I hate it when they do that!

More than once, when wearing Crocs (rubberized clogs) or soft-soled shoes, I'd feel something really poking into my foot, take off my shoe to shake out a stone and still have that painful spot. It wasn't until I figured out to look at the bottom and found a seed spike stuck thru the sole far enough to actually poke a small hole in my foot that I solved the problem.

I know and it is starting to drive me buggy. I don't think the veggies will get away with out being moved either but not sure. I know the deli is safe. I walked into the cereal down around where the cheese is or was. That's been moved to where the margarine was. Ugh!

Ouch, that is really nasty. Maybe you have to wear something like a running shoe when you are out in your yard.

yeah, they rearranged to nearest grocery store ... again. The only positive thing about that was they had two weeks of "grand (re)opening" sales and I scored on ground organic beef and stocked my freezer.

Running shoes wont work. Need hard leather soles, but I'm going to have to really go shoe shopping bc between the chemo neuropathy, extra extra wide feet and bunion I'm going to need specialized footwear.

Sounds like you're still moving forward. Did you get to see her in person? I hope so! Emails are convenient but they're so tedious, if you type as badly as I do.

*****

Been pushing myself as hard as joint pain and energy allow. I noticed if I take an hour or two out of a day to do yardwork for a couple of days I really have to make up the housework the following days. Which I suppose works in a way, bc after just a few hours of yardwork I'm kind of crippled.

This pain syndrome all started with a 10-day course of Levaquin antibiotic for one of my many sinus infections, all the way back in 2019 IIRC, and the tendon pain flared so bad I stopped taking the antibiotic on day 8. It's an autoimmune problem, one of two.

I have to say, my immune system is fucked. It attacks things it shouldn't (allergens, me) but missed cancer cells.

Beyond my pay grade. Back to Dr Rheumatologist.

On the plus: today is "clean out the frig" day bc tomorrow is shopping day. I have some bitchin' leftover beef vegetable soup, and equally good oven "fried" chicken, kafta meatballs, the makings for quinoa "tabouleh", salad fixings, and avocados from the tree. I'm sure everyone can find something they like, and I don't have to cook. But I better pick more avocados.

I didn't feel right last night. Low energy after getting a lot of sleep in the previous 24 hours. So I went to bed fairly early and was in and out of sleep most of the night. About an hour before I wanted to be up this morning, I woke up with my glasses still on my face and they were all fogged up. It's when I realized that I was in the middle of a cold sweat.

It was like that time I got real sick and had the cold sweats from the fever, and when I got out of bed the cold just ripped right through me. But I had a fever then. No fever right now. It's also pretty COLD in my house, with that little A/C really doing its job and the temps outside not being as brutal as they were. Even going upstairs to the bathroom was rough because I had to pass the A/C room to get into the bathroom to take a shower, and I had my blanket wrapped around me because my shirt and boxers were wet as if I jumped into a pool wearing them.

Real low energy right now. Hoping my coffee kick starts me. That was the longest shower I've taken in a while, and I didn't want to get out. The hot water felt nice. Getting my clothes out of my icebox bedroom where the A/C was after the shower was not fun.

It's weird. I feel as though I have a fever or maybe I did while I was sleeping for a few hours last night. But I don't feel sick. Just bleh.

At least the sweating is done and I'm not getting my dry clothes wet right now.

Got a few errands I want to run and that's it for the day, so that's good. I wanted to get up to the post office first thing, so that's the only reason there was a time issue.
