Thursday noonish

Well, something made me sick yesterday evening. About the time we got to the first cleaning account, I was having waves of nausea plus cold sweats. I resisted actually throwing up, since when I do that I also wet my pants. After a bit I seemed to get over it, so we worked. But I was fairly weak and was still sweating profusely.

Got done with that, went to the second account and felt fair doing that one. Then back to do the 3rd account. Felt fair doing that one but still sweating.

When we started home the nausea hit again, but again I resisted it. Got home and laid down right away. I'm afraid it's the pain med. The instructions are to take it 3 times a day, but after it hits my stomach I start feeling bad. It wasn't supposed to make me sick, but you know how that goes.

I didn't take any more pain meds last night or this morning. I'll try it again before bed tonight, but I'm not taking it in the daytime anymore. It's even gotten me where no food appeals to me, which could be a good thing but not what I'd hoped for.

I wound up sleeping till 10 AM today, which is unusual for me. Been getting up around 7 or 7:30. We got home earlier than usual last night since we finished with the 3rd account at 12:30. (Started them at 10:30, so we're getting faster getting our work done there.)

I'll call the pharmacy in just a bit to see what they say about it since the meds are donated by them (or through them) to the clinic pharmacy.

Today is Danny's birthday so I'm a bit down in the mouth today. He would have been only 52.

I fixed myself some chicken noodle soup for lunch, took my bp meds (since I hadn't eaten yet today and therefore hadn't taken them), and am now just sitting. I'm still not "up to par" as far as energy goes, so I'm just taking it easy till time to go to work. I'm hoping I don't get the nausea again tonight.

Elizabeth worked a double shift yesterday so she didn't work today. I just sent her to pay rent and the water bill. That took every dime I had and I won't be paid until after this weekend. However, we should be able to make it through till then since Elizabeth and Brandon both have some money and can help.

It's quite warm today - 70 degrees F. - and we may get storms. That will all change tomorrow, though, when the temp drops and we are predicted to get a possible ice storm. At the very least, a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain. Hope it doesn't hang around too long! That's Arkansas for you, though - hot one day and ice the next.
