Health- exhausted
Today was filled with Hurricane preparation...
This was not made any easier by my health (which stress only adds to) and the GI that I have waited 8 months to see calling and saying that my appointment was moved from next Friday until tomorrow meaning that instead of being able to do some prep work today and finish tomorrow the major bulk had to happen today. I asked about rescheduling and was told the next available appointment was August of next year... sigh!
I had to go outside for some things (like trying to tie down outdoor items that could not come in and hold wood still as my husband screwed them over the windows... and hitting the stores for small propane tanks for our camp stove) and since the only place on my body that sweats is my face... my temperature got very high as my heart raced and skipped and I turned a lovely shade of purple with my blood pressure spiking. I only spent a few minutes at a time out in the heat but my temperature still kept climbing to 104 and I would have to go in and cool down until it was 100 then head back out.
Add to this that all day long I kept getting one ocular migraine after another (they are painless but I go blind for 20-60 minutes each time it happens) and my stomach was churning and roiling like a vat of lava... let's just say I was uncomfortable.
Hurricane Irene is predicted to have a major impact where I live as a CAT 2 hurricane and normally I would be scared, but I am just too damn tired to be scared and am instead almost giddy from the combined stress and physical aspects. I will probably end up sleeping through the whole thing... (slept through all of Hurricane Isabel for the exact same reason)
I am going to do my best to get my blog in on Saturday and Sunday, it is expected to hit Saturday afternoon so I will be putting that blog in early in the morning and Sunday I will hopefully have signal to my air-card to be able to post a blog. I made this challenge for myself and I intend to keep it!
