I've been getting heartburn and indigestion a lot, which I've had off and on my entire life. The sinus congestion and headaches come and go. I know that I've been feeling more stressed and emotional lately. I'm having trouble functioning as well, even though I'm sort of doing a lot more. Something always seems to give, in these cases.
I got on the scale a few minutes ago. I am up a little, but not as heavy as I feel, and usually I think I'm lighter than I really am. I know that I'd benefit greatly from healthier eating a bit more exercise, but dang is it hard right now! The thought of meal planning and tracking just seems intimidating. I wish someone would do it for me, but that would definitely not be my hubby. For one thing, he wouldn't know what to do. For another, he's beyond busy right now with other important things.
This morning, hubby exclaimed "Show me affection! I need it!" Of course I did, but to be honest, I give more than he does, in many ways. Since the loss of my parrot, I do feel extra deprived. That affects one mentally and physically.

I also believe that you are grieving the loss of your sweet parrot.
You had a trip to take with in a few days after he passed? Then your uncle , ongoing saga with your father. Then your recent trip. Maybe the stress of going on the trips are causing more turmoil , because of your loss? Maybe you haven’t found your new “ routine” in the quiet home when your husband is at work?
My dog while not trained for anything is a true support animal.. I have told my husband I will likely need IP when he passes..
Maybe the day will come when your ready to invite another into your home and heart.
Meanwhile be kind to yourself
