I’m still fighting to get my body back to normal. I’ve been mostly good today. My mouth is dry all the time, which makes me think I’m dehydrated, but I’m not. Before dinner tonight, I’d only taken in like 9 oz o fluid today, and I had peed out 109, and yet my pee was still acceptable color.
Yesterday I peed out a lot more than I drank as well.
Weird.
Somehow, it’s like my body is retaining liquids and then dumping it all. I don’t think it’s from drinking a bunch because even when I’ve felt awful at the beginning and started to drink to try to catch up, I’m not drinking that much. So I’m wondering if part of my issue is random water retention issue? My body starts storing water in a bunch of different places?
I don’t know. It’s all goofy. That’s why I’m keeping records; and I’m keeping pretty decent records of everything I think. I still need to be a bit better, but I’m doing pretty well. Hopefully, we’ll start noticing patterns, and I’ll learn enough to help this get figured out.
Though these health issues can be a little rough sometimes, I’m lucky, honestly. One of my Arkansas sisters (well, I guess she’s in Arizona) found out she has a brain tumor. She’s been feeling crummy for a long time, and now we know why 😕. She’s gonna have brain surgery on Tuesday. Prayers/positive universe vibes, por favor. Her brother died of one (a brain tumor) just a handful of years ago. It’s… tough. Fortunately, hers is in a much easier place to operate on than was his.
Life. It’s short.
Love. It’s what matters. Time with our people.
I spent some time with one of my other Arkansas sisters today, chatting about everything what’s going on. Tough tough times. She’s got a daughter who just had a baby, and the baby had some health issues (fortunately is doing much better last I heard). Baby born in one hospital, sister with a brain tumor in another.
Life. It’s… a whirlwind
And my life is whirlwinding as well. Onward we go.
What did I do today… let’s see… Slept in (still not feeling the greatest and a late night), did some studying, chatted with my friend Cory a bit, chatted with my mom a bit (still trying to understand/apply the new things I’m learning about prayer), worked on one of my cars, trying to fix it. I need some different bolts than what came with the catalytic converter. Was able to reuse two of the old ones, but the bungs that were welded onto the new part are the wrong thread size.
Oh well.
Then I did one car that took way too long, but hey, I did one car. So… three cars for the week. It’s like I’ve almost retired already. I get like 25 or so calls a day at this point (tax returns and stimulus money make this the busiest time of year).
#1. I’m grateful to the Word-Press lady for showing me how to move the editing bar. It’s been driving me crazy to have it floating with me everywhere my cursor is, blocking text I want to see. It’s like… y’all developers are obviously not writers. Writers like to look at what they’ve written without having a floating box covering it up. 🙃
#2. I’m grateful to have gotten at least one job done today.
#3. I’m grateful for nail clippers. What wonderful things. 🙂
#4. I’m grateful to be relaxing more and more, just… letting go of the things that have stressed me or so long. I still have a long way to go, but I’ve been so much… more patient lately. So much easier going. I’ve been worrying so much less.
#5. I’m grateful Sunday is here. 🙂
