Made It To The Appointment Exactly On Time. It Went Okay. Eldest Had To Have A Quick Finger Prick Which

Made it to the appointment exactly on time. It went okay. Eldest had to have a quick finger prick which we anticipated would be an awful experience like all the other times. But it wasn't! Husband and I were shocked. Didn't even cry or scream once.

It was sanitize the spot! Quick prick! 1, 2, 3 wipe away wipe away! *collects sample* okay bandaid time! *wrap* boom done!

That.... never happens!! So the appointment went super fast too after that and suddenly we were done. Ran to ONE store. Grabbed maybe 5 things. Checked out. Grabbed a small, fast lunch. Drove half an hour home, eating along the way. Checked all diapers. Changed everyone into comfy house clothes. Promptly crashed for the entire evening.

Woke up several hours later (which is now an hour ago) so disoriented. Didn't know what year it was. "Family Coma" we joked. Both kiddos out cold. Both parents out cold. We were all so drained from one appointment and one store stop. Absolutely took out the whole family.

Husband and I woke up and immediately made dinner and he had thankfully woken up in time for work. (He had an alarm but with how out cold we were I don't think he would've woken up if I hadn't jostled him awake right when I woke up)

Kiddos are happily eating dinner and running around. I'm a zombie on the couch. Husband is already wide awake and working. My head feels so pressurized, pulsing with every heartbeat. My body aches so much. I want to go back to sleep already. 🫠🫠

Well I've had my heart attack of the day. My eldest woke up early so we went downstairs to eat. While getting food I kept hearing noises further downstairs. Got my kid eating, grabbed a weapon, and scoped out the downstairs, locking the garage/basement door along the way. All clear. Ran back upstairs for my husband to scope out the garage/basement. Thankfully nothing. Hopefully it was just a mouse??? But like.... tell me why it sounded like someone shuffling around quietly for like 5 whole minutes. I'm so on edge despite both of us checking the house.

I can never get my portions right. I ate half a bowl of chicken garlic/basil pasta and I'm full.

I absolutely hate the feeling of being full. Not even overly full or anything. Just full. It's an awful feeling to me.... and I can never get my portions right. I just want to vom.

I know so many say "You should be thankful you have enough food to feel full because there are others who don't"

And while I get that..... I am thankful....

It just...doesnt help. At all. So then I feel physically horrendous AND guilty.

Okay according to this apparently my every day is more like 4-6 not 2-4. Alrighty. 🫠

Best friend hosted a yard sale today. I barely did anything and yet my entire body is wrecked. Full body severe aching and pain. My hands for some reason are the worst of it??? Not sure why or how.

I took a shower and a nap when I got home but I am still barely able to move. My body is stiff from overheating and pain. We're doing the sale again tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be better!! I'm debating bringing a change of clothes. I was drenched in sweat the few hours I was there which caused my whole body to break out in a rash. (Idk why this happens when I sweat, my skin hates my sweat, and rashes out real bad if I dont immediately shower)

I think I made..... I didnt actually count it yet but possibly $15 over the last 3 days? Technically joining the sale was to get rid of things not to make muns. But it's still nice to have pocket funds.

Yard sales are a dwindling event these days. I hope they don't go extinct. There is a certain coexisting thrill of the 'hunt' and quiet intimacy of meeting people and acquiring their long-cherished belongings.

I've attended and hosted/been apart of many 'a sale and simply enjoy the process/experience. (Even though these days the set up and tear down broke me more)

Upside? Got rid of a decent amount of little clutter AND acquired leftovers from my friend that I love. A cardigan she'd gotten and I think simply never wore. A box that was previously our mutual friend's before that, haha.

A woven blanket which is nice. And a couple of autumn jackets. Things I will use and enjoy in the place of things that cluttered my space and mind, causing distress. I think it went well. Oh and a meat mallet. Which has been on my 'need to search thrift for one' list for like 3 months. So that worked out!

I'm content. Feeling rough. But content. ♡
