Ugh, what a day. I didn't get great sleep last night. Late afternoon yesterday, I started having period cramps, but awful ones. These had a painful twinge followed by cramp and felt just exactly like when I went into the beginning of labor with my daughter. But it was worse because the beginning period of labor had the cramping 10-15 min. apart whereas last night I was cramping with those twinges at the start every 20-30 SECONDS. OMG! I knew Tylenol wouldn't help so I took a couple of Advil, which I don't take much at all because of my ulcer issues. But this was pretty awful. The Advil helped some, not a lot, and I finally fell asleep around 11 PM. Then, starting at 2 AM my cat Pecan started jumping and walking all over me trying to get me up to feed her and I kept waking up again and again until 4 AM I was awake, lay in bed half an hour and finally got up because Pecan was still going at it; she'd settle some then get up walk all over me, settle, back walking on me, lying on my with her tail in my face. So I was up at 4:30 AM. Yawn.
I still took my power walk hoping it would energize me, not really. I did the usual routine, started drawing, and then the refrigerator started making this awful noise. I got H up, and then freezer fan had frozen because I'd overpacked the freezer. I knew I had; when I got the new refrigerator it was smaller than the old one and I'm not used to having so little freezer room. I had to remove everything from the freezer, and H had to remove the back cover and start thawing the ice back there with my blow dryer. We had to do this on the old fridge a lot, but this new fridge has an awful design back there, and H couldn't remove the back cover entirely without removing the ice maker too, so I had to hold it up while he was defrosting with the blow dryer. It took 30-40 minutes to get that done then I had to repack the freezer. Now we've got to eat stuff from there and not replace it so air can circulate back there. I feel bad; it's my fault. If I weren't so bad about overbuying groceries and actually using what we have first, that wouldn't have happened. I suck at managing money. Having this happen right on top of the washing machine malfunction was a lot.
I put the 3 pictures I drew in the Creative Corner Forum. I hope for a calmer afternoon and that I sleep better tonight.
