From 6 pm on July 4th until 4 pm on July 5th, I slept about 18 hours. I feel lousy and unwillingly succumb to sleep. Once in a while I get up and drink water, open the computer, maybe comment on a blog. Then, I pass out again. This has become my new normal when ill instead of getting up and muddling around all day.
I actually slept too much on Sunday and Monday, too, so this is not so sudden as it seems.
This day had a great plan for getting things done: laundry, dishes, PO visit, grocery store, farmer's market. None of it was done. I fed Dominique and got one stupid letter from the mailbox. NOOOO! I do not want to apply for a pre-approved credit card.
Even though I have an elevated temperature, I think I can beat this. That is what I thought before the local senior spelling bee and spelled with a fever. Saturday is the national bee, but I hope not to make that trip with a fever and then have to spell the next day.
A friend who likes to take a nip and wears a gun is going to stay here the two days I am gone. He won't answer the door, but he sees all that goes on outdoors. I feel secure no one will bother my place at all.
In one minute it will be Wednesday....sigh. Maybe it won't be a lost Wednesday. I am feeling better, so maybe tomorrow will be more productive. I need to deal with the produce I got at the market on Saturday! This lost day will be difficult to overcome.
Right now, I will continue my efforts to get the dishwasher working normally.
Your turn
Do you ever lose a day due to illness? Maybe you had another emergency. Does it seem like you will never get back on track? It does with me, maybe because I am still suffering from this sinus infection.
I am sorry that you are sick. I hate when you lose a day or two. It seems to me that it takes a week or so to get back on schedule. But maybe that is just me.
ReplyDeleteSonya ann,
DeleteThis has been a grueling few days of blah. Yep, it will take awhile to get back on track.
I lose days all the time, more to outside influences than sickness, and it seems to take a bit of work to get back into my routine. Maybe I should just quit having a routine and then I wouldn't have to get back into anything?
ReplyDeleteAnne,
DeleteThere has been nothing wrong with me until this afternoon, nothing I could put my finger on. Now, there is a temp. Exbf is here, eating a salad, and he doesn't know it yet, but he is going to take me to the doctor. No routine, yep, that would work.
I hear you. I am constantly scrambling making up for lost days. Even a public holiday throws me out. Routine is obviously important to me.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are well enough to rock the Spelling Bee.
EC,
DeleteYes, the holidays throw me off, too. Weird. Well, I am going, but rock it, we will see.
