Saturday morning

We didn't make it to the park for a walk today, Jessie and I - in fact, we haven't been in some time. Maybe tomorrow. There's supposed to be snow tonight, ending in the morning. As long as it isn't too icy, it might actually be lovely to see the park in its first garment of white.

But today I didn't feel up to it. I went in to the office yesterday, and I think accomplished what I needed to. But by the time I got home, I was really worn out. Also my eating habits seemed all screwed up. I kept thinking I wanted to eat something - a breakfast sandwich, a cup of coffee, and trying to and then not really feeling like it. I did finally have a cup of soup for lunch. When I got home around 2:00, I was really wiped out. We ended up going to Whole Foods to buy take out dinner early, around 5:30 - mine was a weird combination of a cup of chicken soup, a scoop of mashed potatoes, and an Indian fried vegetable dough thingy. I did have some bone/joint pain, and I took 1 Motrin about 6:00 and that dealt with the worst of it. Then I slept on the couch from 6:30 where I ended up staying so until 4:30 in the morning. I was having a little nausea and sleeping on the couch with my head elevated seemed to help that. I was able to avoid taking the Compazine anti-nausea med that I took last time (that contributed to my constipation-diarrhea fiasco). At 4:30 I woke up and got in the bed.

When David got home around 6:15, I woke up feeling somewhat better. I took Jessie for a walk in the neighborhood, and was able to eat something. But I still feel a little shaky, weak, tired. Not terrible. Just ... not quite right. But so far I haven't had to take another Motrin; my hips and knees ache, but so far at least no worse than on a bad arthritis day (which, as a matter of fact, this day might be since a storm is on its way, first rain turning to snow.)

Well, I may go stick my head back in a book. And likely sleep even more. I am hoping to feel well enough to go to the baby shower for my young friend from work, K, this afternoon, but I'm still uncertain about that. Maybe a little more rest...

Peace.
