I had been trying to figure out why my health took such a nose-dive the last month or so. I KNOW WHY. I ran out of my probiotic and thought It wouldn’t be a big deal. YEAH IT IS. Last week a lady from church came to see me (SHE IS A HEALTH COACH, AAHH) and I waited too long to eat that day and I could feel the impact of it, so guess what? I’M SICK AGAIN. Sinus infection. For the first time in a long, long time. I can usually keep sickness warded off – BUT not this time because probiotics apparently make all the difference for my situation, so we went out Saturday and I got some 200 billion super critical care probiotic powder to help boost me over a 7 day period and I also ordered my usual probiotic that I was taking before. However, too late to ward off this sickness cause I’m stuffed up (and runny too), feel a bit “out of it”, had a sore throat that has eased up, ears hurt a little, ugh… and I just feel very, very, very rough.

When we went out this Saturday and it was a disaster. I was gonna see if Mom could watch Katie while we went out (I already felt kindof bad health-wise), but I got no answer, so she went along. Everything went fine at Petsmart (had to get our ferret a new hammock), but when we got to Whole Foods? Yeah. I took Katie to the bathroom and she was not feeling well / SUPER tired and so those combinations do not GO WELL. She was scared and being overly dramatic of the extremely loud noise the toilet made when it flushed, but I told her it was okay, etc. She went potty, but then was just in a panicked frenzy like it was about to flush her down the hole. I talked to her more about it but she worked herself into a crying mess and she was VERY LOUD, even as we made our way back through the store towards Brad. A lady that works at Whole Foods asked if she was okay – and got her a kid granola bar. I told her to not eat it fast and Brad made some comments to me about trying to tell her how to eat — oh I had-had it. I turned my head away and he asked what I needed to buy, and I said “It’s all over that way” – on the other side of the store, so I TOOK OFF. It took everything in me not to burst out crying after everything that just happened PLUS I didn’t feel well. I know that everyone that saw my face as I walked by thought “Wow, that girl looks SO SAD” cause I could feel the muscles in my face twitching as I fought to hold back tears. I finally got over to the yogurt and got some almond yogurt and gathered my thoughts and calmed down. Sheesh. SIDE NOTE: ATLEAST THE ALMOND YOGURT WAS DAMN DELICIOUS. I will be buying more. Didn’t go to church Sunday since I felt so-so-so bad.

Rewind! – last Thursday, Brad took off early so we could go and get Katie registered at school! It went awesome and they said she did well on their test to see what “level” she’s at for class placement. Nothing else really to highlight about last week. Was still waiting on my thyroid results and my Naturopath emailed me towards the end of the week and said the head MD was out of town. I emailed her yesterday and THE MD IS STILL OUT OF TOWN, WTF. My Naturopath did say my T3 levels were lower and that I would need an increase, but the MD has to call it in. I’m hoping she will do that today or tomorrow.

MY ASSOCIATE’S DEGREE IS IN THE MAIL, so it will be in my hands VERY SOON! WOOT. I just pray I’ll be over this infection ASAP and get my thyroid meds increased so I can just keep working on that and everything else health-wise so I can get better and do all the zillion things I want to do, but can’t because half the time I’m either sick or feeling miserable. I am still loving playing Lord of the Rings Online again – it’s so fun and helps keep me sane haha. Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!!!!! <3
