Pigwig vs. The Volcano
Since Saturday, I have been miserable. I woke up Saturday morning, walked downstairs, turned on the AC, laid on the sofa, and went back to sleep. I got up a little later, went to the TV room, laid down, and fell asleep. Around 6 pm, I finally got it together, got a shower and got ready for my friend's party. E and I went to the party, and had a blast. At 9 pm, I wanted to go home, to go back to sleep.
I am seeing a pattern.
Yesterday we went to M'burg to visit the in-laws. By 5 o'clock I wanted to be home. Today I had meetings at school. It was awful getting up, ended up rushing to get there because I overslept, and missed out on my shower. I was rather self conscience about missing my shower, so basically made a "I may smell icky" announcement as I walked in. I tend to do that, quickly call myself out before anyone else gets the chance. Throughout the meeting, I was a mess. I could hardly keep my eyes open. My friend presenting kept asking if I was okay, and I just explained that I was exhausted. Thankfully, I got the "aw, the cute pregnant lady is sleepy" remarks. About half an hour before the end of the session, I made up a reason to go back to my classroom, and totally snuck out. I didn't feel too bad, I wasn't the only one, and the presenter didn't really care.
On the way home, all I wanted was a milk shake. I had terrible heart burn, and could only think of things that would cool down my insides. I ended up getting a Blast from Baskin Robbins (I figured if I was going to get a chocolate milkshake, and little extra caffeine wouldn't hurt-plus I'm past the point where it can do real damage.) I finished it in five minutes. I had already had 3 bottles of water, and was working on #4. I got home, put on the AC, put my feet up, and polished off #4.
I ended up meeting my parents for dinner with some friends, and drank milk to get rid of the heart burn. It worked for a little bit, and then I went right back to the water. I got home right before E did, and he turned on the hot water (did I mention our hot water pipe is leaking, so we can only turn on the hot water for showers or the basement will flood? The plumber is coming Thursday...) and I got in the shower. Oh. My. God.
First off, my skin was hot to the TOUCH. I didn't even NEED the hot water on-because I didn't use it. I had no clue my body was that hot! I thought I was going to steam! You could have fried an egg on my tummy! I literally was in the shower, just standing in the cool water for ages. Whenever I would leave the stream, my body would get hot all over again. It was the craziest thing.
I have no idea how tomorrow is going to go. I've been resting, so it's not like I'm running a marathon every day-I'm just so damn sleepy. But then, when I go to bed, I can't sleep. (Last night it was because I was scared of some crazy disease my cats might carry getting to the baby because I sat down on the toilet. Before it was because I thought the house was going to explode because the basement was leaking near our circuit breaker. Then I couldn't sleep because I was mad at my in-laws. I am a stressed out, irrational mess...)
But now I am cooled down. I am sitting in front of the fan with wet hair-which feels very nice. E is watching Terminator: Whichever-the one with Christian Bale and I will probably go snuggle near him (not ready for body heat!) and...fall asleep.
