Whiney whine whine

I haven't posted anything with content lately because I've been out of sorts. Spraining (or whatever) my knee put me in a bad head space and made me pretty down. I was just starting to feel strong and confident--like I might actually get to where I would feel physically ready for KCRF, and then WHOMP. Discouraging. I haven't done much of anything this week physically because while the knee doesn't hurt anymore, and I can sort of walk on it, it's still stiff and a teensy bit achey. The achey might be exacerbated by the weather. But regardless, I'm leery of doing anything that would slow the healing. So...meh.

Whether it be coincidental or causative, my swelling issues have been pretty much through the roof the past week or so. Nearly every day is a stomach-sticks-out-further-than-boobs day. I'm back to wearing my too-big jeans (the one pair) because even though they nearly fall off me the first part of the day, if I wear my other jeans (of which I have five pairs), they're incredibly tight by the time I go home. On Tuesday I wore a pair of the group two jeans and MY GOD when I got home I could barely stand to keep them buttoned. Just flat-out painful.

My energy levels are barely sufficient. In the summer, our office closes at 4:00, which is awesome because it means I'm home an hour early. But it also means I don't get a lunch. And no lunch means no nap. So between 1:00 and 3:00 I'm dragging. My energy level picks up a bit when I get home, but I'm going to bed between 9:15 and 9:30 again. I just can't make it to 10pm without the afternoon nap. And going to bed that early means I'm awake at 5:30 or so, when I could really use the extra sleep to help with the knee and swelling issues.

And the roof is leaking again, and water is coming in through the wall of my sewing room, and [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick is busy and stressed with the CSSF summer activities looming, and my credit card bill is ridiculous again (I spent $30 on CDs at Half-Price Books during their closing business sale shame on me), and and and and...

So that's all a lot of not fun. Blah.



And that's why I haven't been posting much of importance.

I know, baby.. I's sorry. I'm kinda like that myself right now

Do you think rebooting the cortisol treatment would help? I'm doubling back up on mine because my afternoon sleepies are back and I'm back to waking up during the night.

Maybe? I see Dr. Khosh again next Friday, so I'll be asking him about that for sure. Also asking if I should nix the Varicosin that he suggested for the swelling issues since it hasn't done a damn thing. He said it would be slow and subtle but jesus.

Good for you, staying off the knee! Here's hoping it not only heals faster, but heals stronger.

Re: everything else... [hugs] Good luck. I hope your next Dr visit is fruitful.

sometimes downtime is required.

Sorry about the credit card bill, but I am sure your $30 at half price books was well spent.

I got seven CDs, only one of which I didn't like!

Is the HPB in Lawrence still open? We are thinking of a run out there Saturday, and if good sales are to be found, that will definitely influence...

Bleah :( And oh god, roof leaks are BAD NEWS. I hope you can get that sorted out soon. :/

Have a Corgi gif because Corgis are awesome.

You know, I consider this post full of content. I feel lucky that I know how you're doing since you take the time to write about it. I have at least 10 different digital accounts where I could blog or microblog so that friends and loved ones would know what was going on with me, and I fail at all of them. I haven't even been taking pictures of my outfits lately, because... SPRING! BUSY!

I have planted about 60 flowers on various parts of my property though. You should come over and see. Oh, and I hosted about 20 members of CK's family for breakfast yesterday. Last night I set a fire in my fire pit to burn off a bunch of twigs, brush, and paper that should have gotten shredded. Yeah. Things to be proud of. Big things.

I'm going to take this as an invitation to WINE IN PERSON with you sometime. I'll email you my schedule and if you're available, gimme a ring.
