Nitter Natter
Well, I was just checking last year's posts to see if I had problems last year. I'm not feeling well and I thought I remembered feeling bad last year and was trying to assure myself that this is probably just depression. But.. the only thing I talked about last year was Xena being sick and me falling. I THINK I'm having "flue-like symptoms". That's in quotes because its one of the things that happens with lupus. But I could be having gall bladder issues. I've spent the last couple of days feeling nauseated and eating immodium. And I stepped back and took a look at my surroundings, based on the amount of chores (NOT) done I haven't been feeling up to par for some time.
In a way, no foul; I just won't be having turkey for Christmas. I was planning on buying a turkey, dressing, etc Monday or Tuesday. Instead I went to the store and got crackers and cottage cheese. But maybe I'll feel better by next week and there will be turkeys on sale or something. I think I pushed too much, I kind of felt like I was reaching my limit with christmas decorations, which is why I got help. But then of course I kept doing things (including checking out the bread machine) and I suspect I'm just a little overtired. I know I'm not sleeping well.
Anyway, this is just my "nitter natter", a bit of chatter letting me put down how I feel. Sometimes it can be kind of strange with lupus, you're not well, but usually with the kind I've got, you're not really sick either. Not visably at least.
In other news.. I've started reading some fan-fiction I hadn't read before. It's absorbing, has an intricate relationship plot, and EPIC in length. and there's more than one. I'm happy to have found it but also almost deplore the length of time it takes to read the stories because I know I have so many I need to re-find after getting all my favorites wiped by the virus.
Don't worry about replying, I'm just working out how I feel.
