I have had a good time in the new home. Easter was good, many days with either being a guest or having guests. Good food and good company. Yesterday, however, "things" turned. My thoughts spiraled around a happening before Easter when a person treated me badly. I was not able to do anything before in the evening. Then I was able to heat a soup.
This morning has been slow (low motivation), but at last I decided to become a member at a Gym nearby. After that I was not able to get into my Google account and that meant that I was not able to use the apps for the Gym. So small happenings and still they were able to put me out of my stability.  I give up trying to get a new Google account today. The Gym has to wait until after the weekend. I will visit it then. It helped a bit to talk about it. When one is active, trying to make something to work (like how to make food at Easter) and then is back to the week days without a plan, some sort of emptiness can occur. I think that is what happened to me yesterday, as if I suddenly sat there naked and didn't know how to dress. I am on my way. I will eat a slice of bread, shower, do something in the home and then take trip out. It is sunny today. Send good hopes to you all!

This morning I see my dad, sister, brother, and nephew before heading north for the second half of our US visit. I'm ready. I feel satisfied with the frequency that I saw everyone. Surely less than if we stayed with someone, but hey, that's my family situation.
Right now I'm resting while Hubby finishes his packing. As usual, I'm finished way before him. Nevertheless, we're on schedule.

I have a painful rash on my body that has remained for days. I have a fever and don’t feel well either. I’ve been very fatigued and have slept many hours over the past several days. I was able to go out and run some errands yesterday including getting a spa pedicure. Tomorrow I meet M halfway. I’m looking forward to seeing her as she couldn’t come in for Easter. I hope I feel well enough to go. I am resting today in order to accomplish that.
I feel well mood wise. I’m just under the weather physically. Frustrating. I hope everyone has a peaceful weekend. Hugs to all!

Hope your rash clears up and you feel physically better soon, Jennifer.

Jennifer are you on Lamictal? A rash and a fever together is a concerning rash. In fact it is with any meds, but epspecially with lamictal. Can you get checked at an urgent care?

You know, a rash is not a good sign. Could you have shingles? Scarlet fever (I've had it twice, once as an adult)? I hope it's not a reaction to medication. How are you feeling today?

Whew, boy. Slept a few hours last night. I'm not sure what's going on. I felt very cold in bed so bundled myself up in clothes and socks. Still couldn't sleep.
My son, Noah (I have a Noah - an N1 (my daughter) and an N2 (Noah), just like Moose does ) and DIL are coming for a visit on Monday. Every year they spend the 3rd Sunday in April doing a bike ride in the mountains, it's called the Wildflower Ride. 100 miles! Good Lord. Anyway, they'll be stopping by on their way back to San Francisco. So I'm doing some extra "deep" cleaning plus I have to do laundry and some grocery shopping over the week-end.And right now I feel like I'm going to drop on the floor. I took Tylenol PM in the hope that I'll be able to sleep for 2 hours. Hope, hope.A good Saturday to all! See ya later on

Sorry
 I sound like a broken record but this pain is absolutely brutal. I truly am scared that the Xeljanz is pooping out. Steve thinks it could be our weather as I’m thrilled it’s warmer but about 8-9 days ago ( I think) is when the last lousy weather came through and he thinks that’s when this first started. I truly can’t remember when this started. It feel like it’s been a 100 years. Ok I won’t whine about it anymore as it doesn’t help anything ugh ! It’s just dumb ! Hope every one is having a lovely weekend ~ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Watching Monk. In this episode- Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine- Monk is given a prescription by his psychiatrist and turns into the complete opposite of his usual self. He doesn't care if things aren't tidy and he bought a fancy convertible and is bopping down the street in it. Everything tastes great to him and nothing bothers him. Seems to me that Monk had a manic episode brought on by the med.
Just thought it was interesting. No doubt, he will "go back to normal" by the end of the episode.

Yeah, I saw that episode. The med totally changed his personality and made him happy. The meds have never worked like that for me.

I agree Jennifer, it does sound like possible shingles. I’ve heard that is really painful. I hope urgent care figures it out and is able to help you feel better!

We just got home from the crystal cave. I enjoyed having a day out but I’m cool with never going in another cave again! It was pretty but not pretty enough to justify my fear. Thankfully I only mildly panicked twice, once when she said something about a large earthquake shifting the rocks (aaaaah!) and again when she turned out the lights to show how dark it was when people first started touring in the early 1900s. F. That. I was over it by then and itching to get out. Thankfully it was the end of the tour anyway! We found a really delicious restaurant to eat at afterward and then made the trip home.
I’m worried about both my cats. Ash’s asthma is awful and her back legs are both going bad. I do not have $$$ for surgery which she probably wouldn’t survive because of the asthma. Cheeto looks like he’s getting thin again and he’s been sneezing off and on, but no other signs of a respiratory infection. I dunno. I think there was something wrong with the mother because they are barn cats from the same litter and they’re both having trouble at such a young age (they’re only 6). If they both pass I will get another older bonded pair, kittens are cute but boy do they have energy! And older cats are adopted less often, even less so bonded pairs.
