everyone is tired
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Maybe it is the weather, but we are all dragging today. I woke up at 6 because my stomach started acting up. One thing I have never asked the doctors about is... from time to time, when I wake up in the morning, it feels like tiny air bubbles going up my esophagus in a series of groupings (I just don't know how to explain it), One grouping goes up to my throat, then a minute later another and another and it just keeps going until I eat something. Drinking doesn't help. Sitting up doesn't help, and after the first couple times it does that, it starts to hurt. The longer I wait, the more it hurts then I start getting nausea, vomiting and so on. Does anyone know what this is? I have had it for most of my life. I never asked a doctor about it, because, I figured they would say "that's impossible, no one can feel that, and it wouldn't hurt". I guess I've heard that too many times, so I don't bother saying anything. Plus, it stops after I eat, and I don't have it every day, just 2 or 3 times a week. I was told at one point that the flap between my esophagus and stomach doesn't work very well. Which is most likely why I have this.. the flap is open? Who knows, and who cares. I'm not worried about it, it just crossed my mind is all.
So like everyone else in this district, we are packing. The house is almost all clean, just a couple things left to do which won't take long at all. I am packed, but EO isn't, so I will do that later. So here is what I have accomplished today:
- Made my service time by getting the last hour I needed, so I have 14 this month (maybe I will get more :)
- Studied my WT because I know I won't have time when we are down there, I will be too busy reading the new releases. :)
- Did 3 loads of laundry and have 2 more left to go. Mostly it was bedding.
- Hung a number of pictures on Steph's walls that she wanted put up.
- Packed my meeting bag and purse
- Cleaned the liter box... will have to do it again before we leave in the morning.
- Cleaned my bathroom... although Lauren is cleaning the shower for me.
- Had breakfast (because of my bad stomach)
- Swept the kitchen floor.
- Played a couple computer games.
- Put a bunch of stuff away.
- Went through my day's text.
- Went through my email.
- Remembered to take all my morning meds (that is a challenge)
That is pretty much it. My whole life I have been able to get done more in the morning that I can the whole rest of the day. Now I will pray for "no life drama" so we can all enjoy the D.C.
So all I really have left to do is, pack for EO which I will be doing when I get done with this, and then finish the last 2 loads of laundry, that is it. Oh, and take a shower... lol
