Struggling

 Jan. 5, 2025

Steps 9,999

I barely made it this far pedaling. I am definitely sick. I may have to go to ER if I cannot get a doctor appointment.  I can barely walk and keep going to sleep in my chair. It is not the same old stuff I get, much more serious.

We had the other two hamburgers for dinner and finished the chopped slaw. The four burgers weighed 1.99 lbs., so each burger was 1/2 lb. of beef. 

I have lost weight back to my lowest weight and another pound to go with that. Of course, I only ate the burger, slaw, two graham crackers and cup of milk today.

It's raining like crazy right now. This will start a week of unpleasant, very cold weather, maybe snow. At least all Christmas items are out of the yard and deer are on the porch. 

I have not edited this, so no telling what is here. 

What kind of weather are you expecting this week?

  1. I always get a bit nervous to hear you've gotten sick.

    Hope you've got easily prepared food and drinks to give you strength to fight whatever's in your system.

    Here in CT it's going to be in the 30's with no precipitation at all. We're just outside that terrible horizontal weather band making its way through the country.

    My 2nd floor furnace has been on lockout (burner won't fire) since yesterday morning. Temp was around 58 degrees. 3 calls to our HVAC company yesterday with, "Uh, where are you guys?" and no response.

    Luckily, we have several heating units that kept our bedrooms at 62, which is our normal sleeping temp. DH and DS both work from home, so the heaters got moved to their offices.

    Had to call HVAC yet again this morning; no explanation given for being ignored yesterday. Just assurances that yes, we have a priority service contract, and yes, someone will be here today after 2pm.

    The only thing that keeps me calm is that at least we have heat on the first floor. So I can still cook, do dishes & laundry, vacuum, dust, and scrub 2 bathrooms!
    Praise the Baby Jesus for his tender mercies!! LOL!!!! :^D :^D

    Take care, Linda! Watch old movies, drink plenty of water, stay cozy warm, and snooze in your chair whenever you need.

    1. This time, I am really nervous about how I feel and symptoms.

      With Tommy, we manage to cook. Or, he is okay to go get something for us to eat.
      I have had to force myself to drink water because I don't want it. But, I know I have to drink lots. Usually, I have several bottles by me because he just brings one when he comes because I usually drink so much.

      TV and snoozing is all I have done. One meal a day is all I can handle. We are going to cook two huge packages of bscb when we get back from the podiatrist.

      Tommy has a gas water heater, so if electricity goes out, we have hot water. I have no idea what we could do except hand wash dishes.

  2. I hope you can get in to see your doctor and get checked out soon. Take care!

Okay, hoping the annoyances have gone away.
