Ick Day

Happy birthday Adri!

Top 5 Blessings: 1) I got jalapeños from Hiroko who bought them in Hawaii for me. 2) I got my work done relatively quickly. 3) I got to message Jerod a little bit. 4) I haven't thrown up in a few hours. 5) My apartment is clean!

basal temp: 36.05 (I got a new low! ~love that song)

Morning:
- woke up early, made my body go back to sleep
- took my kampo medicine
- Bruce came by with my jalapeños from Hiroko so I didn't have to get them myself
- the elders called me and checked in on me
- ate breakfast
- felt EXTREMELY nauseous
- threw up
- lots of pain
- laid in bed on the heating pad

Notes: that says it all

Afternoon:
- made my worksheet for the first graders on predicates
- watched a couple episodes of Gintama
- felt so awful I cried
- took some more medicine
- ate again
- threw up again
- TONS of pain, used the heating pad

Notes: *sigh*

Evening:
- last dose of kampo medicine for the day
- more food
- more puking
- a little more Gintama
- was able to message Jerod
- forced myself to clean my apartment (I wanted it clean badly, just felt super icky)
- FINALLY showered
- felt even more awful
- took one of my pharmaceutical pills
- feeling super nauseous at the moment :/

Notes: Today has been rough, to say the least. Lots of puking, lots of crying, lots of despair. However, at the moment I am feeling ok. I'm still in a LOT of pain, but it really helps that I got my work done (even though it sucked to do it on Saturday), got my place cleaned up, and got myself cleaned up. Today wasn't perfect by any means, but it wasn't worthless. Also, the Relief Society message this month quoted President Monson as saying, "How grateful we should be that a wise Creator fashioned an earth and placed us here ... that we might experience a time of testing, an opportunity to prove ourselves to qualify for all that God has prepared for us to receive." -- After all this, mansion? ;) But in all seriousness, it's always good to be reminded that the trials we face in life aren't "just because." So though I don't understand the purpose of this illness, I hope that I can ... aguantarla .. overcome it (man that took me a good 45 seconds)! There we go. :)

So in other news, I forgot that my taxes are due on Monday. :c By the time I get home from school the place will be closed. :/ Oneechan, what happens if you pay late? Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! XOXO, A

My sleep - now if I can just manage to stop waking up during my deep sleep! (Today I ended up turning my alarm off an hour early - I already was able to fall back asleep after, as you can see, almost an hour. I knew I wasn't going to be able to get back down.)

Jalapeños from Hawaii! A friend bought them for me (I gave her the money - well worth it - even though I haven't really been able to eat them yet because of all the puking).

My insides!! (The MRI)
