To be fit in my 40s
I am trying some things this winter to beat the sunless, warmthless doldrums. Not talking about my symptoms (unless it’s with a healthcare provider, or I’m explaining to my boss why I’m not coming to work) Keeping the same sleep and waking times, even on the weekends (sleeping in is my favorite, but big shiftsContinue reading “To be fit in my 40s”
The Bowel Prep.
1. Pick a really good comedy to watch. Have like 6-8 hours of programming. 2. Don’t mix the laxatives with anything, just chug it then bite into a wedge of lemon. Lime would probably also be good.

Huel Made Me Hurl
One time I tried to find a cheaper medical meal replacement. I tried Huel. I couldn’t swallow it because my gag reflex was immediately triggered by it’s texture.
Chronic Fatigue be like…
Sleeping in every available free moment Not sleeping thru the night Holding my eyes open at work Body feels like it’s made of a heavy metal sludge Cranky about things that normally irritate me Cranky about things that do not normally irritate me Screaming, “Today is not the day!” (Just to make sure everybody knows.)Continue reading “Chronic Fatigue be like…”
Snow Day
I had the day off work today as a giant storm system moved thru central Ohio. We got more slush and sleet than snow, so it was kind of a silly day to not have school but I’m not complaining. I will be complaining, however, about the crushing fatigue I suffered all day. The stormContinue reading “Snow Day”
