Too much to do

July 31, 2007 by Tricia

It’s twenty to eight and I should probably make dinner but I’m just not hungry. I hate it when I’m not feeling well. I don’t sleep and I don’t eat properly and I’m certain all that adds up into making me feel worse.

I’m writing this down here because I want to keep track of cycle that I think is happening. I have one pain medication in the form of a patch. I put it on and it stays on for three days. I think that on the third day it’s not doing much for me at all and those are the days that I tend to feel the worst. Yesterday was a third day day. Of course if my theory is correct I should be feeling great today, but that’s not the case. I only feel a little better than I did yesterday. Hmmm …

I’m also trying to finish up my blogging – no hope of that! I’ve sites I haven’t even touched yet today! – so that I can get outside in the heat and water my garden. If Chris wasn’t working an evening shift at least I’d be able to ask him to water by hand or set up the sprinkler.

I’m certainly not looking forward to going outside. Not at all. It’s 31 Celsius with a humidity factor bringing it to 37 C outside right now. That’s 98.6 F. Yuck. An hour ago the humidity brought it to 39 C (102.2 F). I hope it’s a little cooler by the time I get outside to water my parched garden.

You ever have those days when you feel bleh and just can’t get things done?

These bad days have to stop

July 31, 2007 by Tricia

I had another funky day yesterday where I got up, but quickly realized that I should have stayed in bed.

I think I only made one post yesterday! I just didn’t feel up to writing. Instead I did a little background work on the sites and basically just puttered around.

I don’t think it’s fair to you, my readers, for me to try to write when I just don’t have it in me. If I did I’d probably end up writing basically the same post on all my sites – “I don’t feel well today I’m not up to doing anything bleh … “. What’s the point in that other than letting you know I’m feeling terrible.

I’m sure those of you who read more than one of my sites know that when I’m in a writing mood the posts come fast! I can write six or seven posts on a few sites, each, in a matter of hours if the mood strikes me.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that if my sites go quite for a day or two every now and then it’s probably not because I’m busy. It’s more than likely because I’m feeling terrible. I may be sitting at my computer reading emails, visiting sites or doing some behind the scenes stuff with our websites, but I’m just not up to writing.

Stressed and tired? That’s me

July 24, 2007 by Tricia

I’m feeling kind of wiped out today. Actually I was feeling that way yesterday too.

I think I’m still fighting the flu that my husband had last week – I think I’ve had a touch of it, but no where near as bad as he had it. Which of course I’m thankful for since I have Crohns and if I got the flu as bad as he did I’d probably end up in the hospital!

Also, all the stress of my sites being down – writing to two web hosting companies and waiting for replies from support which can take hours and hours wore me down too.

I really am pleased that my sites are finally working again though. Now, if I could get some decent rest I’ll be ready for anything again!

Actually I have some built up work for advertisers that I’m going to spend the evening working on. I might just take a tiny rest first though so my head will be clearer and with any luck my posts will be better.

Massive headache

July 20, 2007 by Tricia

Yesterday, all day, I had a massive headache. It just would not go away. I took Tylenol several times and it didn’t really help. It helped my fevers – fevers that I have almost daily anyway, but it didn’t take the headache away.

I’d say the headache lasted for more than 24 hours! I have no idea how I managed to get any posting done yesterday, but to be honest my work was done at a drastically slower pace than normal.

I think I must be fighting the flu bug that my husband brought home with him on Wednesday. He’s almost better today, but I’m deteriorating. I actually fell asleep on the couch in the night and couldn’t rouse myself until 4 pm today!

That’s not good.

I think I still have the remnants of a headache hanging around but for the most part it’s pretty much gone.

I just hope it doesn’t come back, and that if I’m fighting Chris’ flu bug that I’m successful in my fight. Living with Crohns and getting the flu could be a very bad thing!

Illness and Anger

June 24, 2007 by Tricia

Can you believe this? My Crohn’s has me down for the count yet again. I was doing ok for a good portion of last week but then Friday came along and I couldn’t get off the couch I felt so ill.

Think that was bad enough … Saturday was even worse. I almost never take my heavy duty short acting pain killers during the day. I stick to the two long acting pain meds that I’m one and leave the shorter acting ones for night time when the pain is at it’s worst and only if I really need to take them.

Well yesterday I ended up taking two percocet. As you can tell I didn’t feel well enough to do any posting at all until around midnight last night.

I’m feeling a bit better today and I’m itching to get outside and plant some plants in my garden that I bought last weekend but I have a feeling if I go out there and get working I’ll end up making myself sicker and end up having a really bad week.

I’m getting angry at this stupid disease. It’s holding me back from so much in life.
