Crappy day (haha)

T5B: 1) Got to message Jerod. 2) Ran some errands. 3) Cleaned a little. 4) Made some chestnut spaghetti that was really good. 5) I've just about finished the Book of Mormon for this year and just in time for Conference (since we will get it here a week from tomorrow I will definitely be done in time).

basal temp: I forgot to take it right away and got up first - still was only 36.15 (I THINK this means I'm getting back to normal since I usually run cold. Just weird to see my graph dropping further and further. - Oh and yesterday was 36.25)

Morning:
- woke up after not a lot of sleep, body wouldn't shut back down
- took my kampo, ate some breakfast
- cleaned a little as I cooked breakfast
- threw up (nooooooooo!)
- laid down for a while, had some soup
- did laundry

Notes: Well, the no puking lasted for two days. :/ So at least there's that! -- Also just like Lynds said Utah seems to have skipped fall, I'm feeling like that happened here. It went from sweltering to heavy jacket weather! I consider fall "light jacket" weather and I've been FREEZING! Of course that could be all my weight loss. I used to (100 lbs ago) sleep with the window cracked and only my sheets on during the winter. Now I've lost all my insulation! LOL It makes me slightly worried as it's going to get MUCH colder here. :/ In reality, the typical low is "only" -4° (which is 24.8°F) and lowest I've heard about -10° (14°F). I came home from a sweltering Argentine summer to 28°F (-2.2°C) in FEBRUARY in Utah so I know I have endured colder. I'm thinking it's just an insulation problem. I need to cover up that fan hole to the outside somehow and there's not much I can do about my wood floor but go buy more carpet. I brought two pairs of thick socks to use at night during the cold. So far I've made it with two blankets and have been using my duvet for extra padding since this mattress is compressing and I'm getting back pain again. I'm going to need to save up for another mattress. Or borrow a futon from a member. I'm considering asking them if I can rent one. We'll see what happens. I feel too gross to think about it clearly now.

Afternoon:
- hung up my laundry
- went out to run some errands, success!
- got home, ate some lunch
- threw up
- intestinal issues again :/ (seriously!?)
- took a short nap (yay!)

Notes: So I've spent more than enough time in the bathroom today. My tummy is SO unhappy right now. And other pain is high today (maybe because I threw up the kampo?). Today's been better than last Saturday but hard and icky. :/ I didn't get the cleaning done that I wanted to get done.

Evening:
- Jerod messaged me - for a long time too
- chestnut spaghetti sounded good to me so that's what I made for dinner (it was yummy)
- migraine coming on, my intestines are majorly unhappy, dinner is threatening to make a reappearance
- watched a couple episodes of Gintama

Notes: At least I didn't have to work today! So there's that! I'm not sure what's up with my body today. :/ I also bruised my heel a couple days ago and it's been killing. I've been trying hard not to limp but it's rough going. I'm on my feet most of the day and everything I've read online says, "REST IT!" Doing my best. That's what I've been trying to do this weekend. Plus all my other tummy trouble. In any case, I hope you are all doing much better than me (I hope you are feeling ok Maman - love you!). Love you all! XOXO, A

I told you about it before - here is photographic proof! Horse fat body soap.

I need an extra outlet plug thing (I can't think of what it's called - but one plug that has three spaces in which to plug in - not a surge protector or power strip... anyway) for my apartment and so I went to Daiso. I found a small section of Halloween stuff and bought myself a gift. It was only a dollar and I'm worth it! I took the banner apart so I could hang the pieces everywhere (haven't done it yet but will get a pic when I do).

Was curious how pale or gross I looked since I feel so icky (taken while I was making dinner)
