I got some good news today.

I had genetic testing done last week to see if I had any genes that pre-dispose a person to cancer. They were concerned about a possible familial syndrome based on a chain of cancers on one side of the family.

I got the results today and that is clear. So one thing down and on to the next thing, my biopsy in 2 weeks.

I just woke up from a really scary nightmare. I won't write about it because I don't want to give someone else a nightmare. But I am terrified of guns and there were horrible guns in this.

I hate when dreams wake me up so much it's hard to get back to sleep or I don't want to try sleep again and risk another dream..

Then ran to the grocery store for fruit. I’ve been in the mood for smoothies kinda cold for them but oh well. Peeled sliced apples and fruit in smoothies is about the only way I like fruit.

It was trying hard to snow while I was out but there’s just not enough precipitation. But despite the lack of snow, winter has arrived. The high today was 30F feels like temperature of 17F for the rest of the 10 day forecast it never goes above 35F . Brrr. I hope Monday the pool temperature is 90 agin.

Beth I don’t think they make battery string lights that can handle the outside weather.

Ooooo Hobby Lobby ?!! I love the place. Such good sales !

I bet your wreath is lovely

Glad you found a lovely gown for your Mum. Growing up my Mom always got my Brother and I new Jammie’s for Christmas morning for video filming and pictures. Didn’t was us looking raggedy LOL

Smoothies are so good even in winter !

I do have to admit I thought their building a hobby lobby here was crazy cause there’s just not many stores doing well. We just had a bunch of stores close. But there’s always been people there when I go. I’ve gotten things I did at artworks framed for 50% off. It’s very nice.

I'm feeling very physically uncomfortable today. Last night I took everything as directed and as prescribed. I fell asleep before 5:30. I woke up once at 2AM and then at 4:30. I was 4 pounds less on the scale but I think it was mostly water weight. I know eating yesterday was a challenege since food has been making me feel off both physically and mentally. Today though I've just been really hot and I'm wearing shorts and my stomach just feels uncomfortable and I've eaten protein and I haven't had any coffee and I've just had one soda. I'm also still pretty tired and kinda anxious. My mom is at the store now doing a grocery shopping trip. I feel sort of sick but I also know I have a lot of stuff coming up including my last therapy appointment on Wednesday with this therapist. I mean, I feel at this moment I'll be ok but I also thought I'd be ok ending things with my transference therapist and that was in feb 2021 and it can still mess with me at times. But hopefully this won't be as bad.

I just feel lethargic like I haven't slept in days despite taking a nap yesterday morning and sleeping all last night and also food makes me feel weird.

I just woke up from an hour or so nap and I feel better. My stomach feels better and I'm not too anxious. My body temp feels normal I don't feel so hot. I took one of my gastro stomach pain meds before my nap and I keep forgetting I have those.

Feeling like I'm wrong for just being. don't have my meds for long and I realize I stop eating and sleeping off medication and depression sets in. I'm not doing the best just on the lower does of one of my medication. I am at the point where I'm going to have to pick what medication to fill. I just can't think. I had to explain to my sibling that I eat/sleep BECAUSE I'm on medication not that I grew out of it and still a daily struggle for me. I really thought I was going to have to go IP the other day. I'm trying to figure out so much ****. Like where are we going to stay after the holidays if we don't have an apartment yet. Will we loose our voucher. If that happens then what. My protein shake is out so I have to try a different kind. at least this one I just need 1x a day. I'm realizing how little my food choices are. I just want to be home. My own home, my own bed, I'm getting all this pressure to keep our car when there is no possible way I only make so much these are the consequences of being poor. IDK.

I’m so sorry you do not have your own home yet. I can’t even begin to understand how that must feel.. enormous stress :sadhug;

I guess all you can do is continue as much self care as possible !

Hope things get sorted out quickly

I'm struggling, but no worse than usual. Afraid. Lots of fear thoughts and worry. I really believe brains can be wired oddly, or maybe not developed in sync with evolution and I believe that mine is one of those. For example, I fear going to bed and lying there, asleep. Once I'm actually in bed I'm okay. It's the idea that causes me to be anxious.

The best I can do is distract myself by doing things like watching shows on Netflix.

The weather is great; low 60's/highs and around 40/lows. Hopefully, it won't get much colder. I'm so weather-spoiled, lol. Weather brat

I really wish you could catch a damn break

It has been ages @otroo. How are you these days, with the holidays coming up?

Thinking of you @buddha1too.

We went shopping today at Walmart to buy some things to donate to a kids and teenagers Christmas drive. We bought a hair dryer, hair straightener, a boxed set of cologne, a hair trimmer, and a book. We wanted to get things that teens might like and need. We're donating the things later today.

I seem to be developing pain from my pulmonary embolism that I developed as a result of covid. I'm not in pain when breathing which I think is good, but I'm in pain when I move like walking or moving my arms or getting in and out of the car. I'm going to call the hospital on Monday and see if I can talk with a doctor about it and see if it's something to be concerned about.

The gabapentin is helping my anxiety a lot

MuddyBoots · Nov 12, 2022, 03:29 PM

Scooter- glad the gabapentin's helping the anxiety. I hope the pain isn't anything serious

thanks for the congratulations everyone
