Aug. 21st, 2023 08:06 amI think I turned a corner with this thing yesterday. I was so wiped out, I spent a lot of the day napping, or trying to. I even conked out hard after supper, but Garmin says it "was not restorative," which I'll agree with because I still feel exhausted. My stess/HRV overnight was incredibly poor for me. But this morning I woke up and felt ... okay. I can mostly breathe, but my sinuses and the inside of my nasal passages BURN. I'm having a lot of drainage down the back of my throat.
But I feel well enough that I'm annoyed at how bad I feel.
I've had to let a lot pile up while I was sick. The heat or possibly some rough road caused the sink lid in the camper to break, and there's tempered glass shards everywhere. We're probably not going to bother replacing it right now. I have a couple of loads of laundry to do, and our camping stuff to put away. I should mow the yard, but I am not even going to worry about that until maybe Friday - it can wait.
I also have some fun things to do! Gina bought me a cat-shaped bread pan I'd wanted for my birthday and I NEED to make kitty bread. I'm probably going to make a basic shokupan (食パン) and then try something fancier, like kneading cocoa powder into a portion of the dough for a "calico" cat. I also saw an Asian food blogger use that same pan with a matcha shokupan and she made frog faces. It was super cute.
Anyway, I also hereby declare it to be Augtober. Want to put your Halloween decorations up? Do it. Scary movies? Yes. Pumpkin spice treats? Knock yourself out. I'm fed up with summer, and if you are, too, I say we just start pretending it's fall. Maybe skip the sweaters and flannel for now, though.
