I woke up with a slight headache and very heavy eyes. Brad got up at 7:30AM this morning and thought he heard something so he stayed up. I took my iron pill and went back to BED. I didn’t get out of bed until after 10AM and still had the slight headache and heavy eyes. After food and hanging out, we headed out to buy enough groceries to last us until Brad gets paid Thursday.

The blood pressure machine was fixed at Wal-Mart so I sat down to take it and It was taking longer than usual… well I know why! My blood pressure was 101/50! SHEESH! No wonder I’ve felt like CRAP. The bottom number is crazy low. I haven’t had my Vitamin C the last few days and I know that’s having a bad impact. Not only does the Vitamin C help my immune system but also helps absorb the iron. I need it MORE THAN EVER right now with this blasted cold and sinus. Brad and Katie are pretty much over the cold but mine is still lingering. I feel better than I did as far as the cold goes but seems like my immune system has really taken a hit. Here’s my plan. Keep drinking the OJ I bought today with my iron pills and take sinus pills starting tonight to hopefully get over this. When Brad gets paid Thursday I’m gonna have him go after work to buy us the rest of our groceries PLUS some Ester-C Immune Booster packets. It’s got the 1,000mg Vitamin C plus other stuff to really give the immune system a boost which is EXACTLY what I need right now. I would of bought them today but we were on a very tight budget so couldn’t. If I can kick this cold then I know my blood pressure will start to improve since I’m doing ALL I can do as far as the iron goes. I had planned on trying to do some light exercise – HA that went out the window.

Anyhow… we bought our groceries and I cried on the way home and more when we got home. I’m just SO FLIPPING TIRED of feeling so bad and just when I think things are going in the right direction I either mess it up or something else happens to make it worse!!!!!!! Brad attempted to make me feel better and made me pancakes. He’s really sweet. I had pancakes, a salad and a kiwi for lunch. Deffo was stuffed! After Brad put Katie down for her nap… I just didn’t want to do anything and was just blah so I went and laid on the bed and dozed off a little then got up. I watched an episode of The Secret Life then got online before starting Katie’s dinner. Brad left for his church meeting and I eventually got Katie up, fed her then started mine and Brad’s dinner. After fixing that I called Mom and talked to her for a bit… always love SOOOOO much talking to Mom!!! Can’t WAIT to move and be around her again!!!!

It’s almost time to get Katie ready for bath then bed and wait for Brad to come home. I really hope that I can get my body straightened out before summer. Please please please. I want to really enjoy my summer and have my energy back to really start losing the weight. I guess we’ll see. Just gotta keep my head up, hoping for the best and praying. I know Heavenly Father will take care of me. I’m so thankful even through all my struggles — I know He has given me so much.

One day at a time.
