so.. I survived last week.. just barely..

              I always feel like I've totally run out of steam by Friday.
and then the day just seems so long.. lasts forever.. 

Thursday we went down to the garage to look up numbers from the circuit board on the heater..
then upstairs to look those up on the computer.. many trips up and down.. 
until we found our part number.. and then searched for the best price..

Saturday was lazy.. the day after work always is - lazy.. 
that's why I don't accomplish much.. 
I do a little bit here and there..
but I never catch up to want I expect to accomplish.. 

Sunday ? well that's when everything went wrong..
Saturday night we had dinner.. but it was different for each of us..
he made chicken legs and wings with baking soda and bbq dorito crumbs..
I had ranch dressing.. and he made blue cheese dressing with a little bit of lemon juice..
now, when we ate.. my legs and wings tasted like powder.. like the baking soda.. no bbq..
when he ate.. his legs and wings tasted fine - until he dipped on his blue cheese dressing..
then, to him, they tasted like ammonia. I don't like blue cheese so I couldn't confirm that..

Sunday morning, I woke up at 6am freezing cold, and had to pee..
I didn't get up because I was freezing cold, and hoping I'd fall back to sleep..
well, I never did. I got up at 7:30 to pee.. and then grabbed a big blanket and went back to sleep.
when I woke up at 10:20 my throat and mouth had a film on them..
I lay in bed until 10:50 then got up to take a covid test..
my legs were very weak.. kept seeing 'white'.. this wasn't good..
I went pee again.. and tested while on the toilet because was the lowest - other than being on the floor, upon which I would have to get up again.. 

I spent the entire day on the couch.. eyes closed because it hurt my brain to have my eyes open..
I was in and out of sleep all day long.. I didn't get up off the couch until about 7:45 at night.. 
he made some pasta (I hadn't had any carbs in 4 weeks) but I didn't have much of an appetite..
no pasta?! me turn down carbs?! who am I?! 

today I am lots better..
not quite so dizzy..
not constantly hearing my heart in my head..
able to walk across the room without falling.. 
I did my load of laundry..
washed dishes..
cleaned up (most of) the kitchen..
threw out some trash (there's more still).

tomorrow is the 1st of the month.. 
I gave Charlie Brown a dry wash today.. 
I'll trim Gwen's face.. and wash my own hair..
quite possibly go back to work Wednesday (oh, the dread..)
Wednesday is the busiest day of the busiest week of the month.. 
59 appts.. 56 of which are back-to-back chaos.. 
then I get through Friday AND Saturday back-to-back.. so.. yeah.. yay..
