07-23-21 Trying to survive last night, all day
At 3:10 am I awoke on my stomach choking on bile. I felt like I was throwing up but I didn’t. It was terrifying and left me with a burning sensation and taste I couldn’t shake no matter how may tums I chewed. It took a while to get to sleep and when my alarm went off there was no way I could get functioning. My throat was raw and I sat on the couch for another hour and a half before I could make myself get in the shower. I used the new product I bought from my stylist Nioxin and it has a shampoo, conditioner and leave in. It is supposed to thicken hair and retain colour. Unfortunately it took a bunch of the colour out! I don’t hate it but will have to see how it goes. I sent a pic to Ireland and she said she would fix it if I decide to.
I got to work and finished up a bunch of my volunteer work so I could get on with paid work. I saw the cover photo from the theatre and like it. Maureen took it when we were working there.
My voice was really rough and I have a phlegm feeling making me want to swallow constantly. I didn’t feel like eating but made myself some oatmeal and tried to drink lots of water. I focused on just one file so I wouldn’t make mistakes and when I got too tired around 6 decided to call it a day. I had called the MRI office today to find they did not have the requisition for my torso one, only for the knee. They told me to call my Dr office which I did and she couldn’t see it in my file either so was going to send a message to my Dr. I don’t know how long to wait until I hear something. I really have a strong feeling that the mass in my torso could be part of all my problems. If not, at least we will rule it out or get it out. I stopped to pick up some soap ends and business cards from Jan who makes Goats and Hoes Soap. I had asked her if it would be ok to give them to my guests at my Airbnb. A nice perk for them and maybe further business for her as she sells in the market and some stores.
I have a terrible headache, the smoke was even coming in to my office. When I left work I was shocked how strong the smell was, like a camp fire and that there was ash floating around. That is not helping the feeling in my throat and probably explains the headache. They really have been doing a lot of work on our road. I am so sick of the traffic past my place already as the other side of the parks entrance is blocked. It is supposed to be only 15 but everyone is going by fast and noisy.
And now it is 10:55 and the cars are still rolling up to the place across the street. A young guy bought it and moved in last month, it’s probably his housewarming so I will try not to be cranky bitch. (But I am)
I did make a really good dinner tonight though, can’t wait for lunch tomorrow.
I of course feel like dirt but am not comfortable to lie down yet… I need rest though as tomorrow is Summer sounds and Lukas is going to come help and then stay overnight. He can help me get ready for the guests on Sunday night as well.
