The Day So Far.

Woke up at 3 a.m. struggling to breathe because one or another of my bodily fluids was clogging my windpipe. Not fun. Must make a trip to get some decongestant (in case it's postnasal drip) and antacid (in case it's acid reflux) so it doesn't happen again. So not fun. Finally managed to get some sleep from about 6 to 10 this morning, though. (Yes, I know, I'd probably go to the doctor if I could afford to.)

When I woke up again (for some reason humming Sheila Chandra's version of "Lament of McCrimmon/Song of the Banshee"), the air was filled with falling snow which melted immediately upon contact with the warm ground. Now a few lazy snowflakes drift slowly down toward the ground, as if reluctant to admit that they were late for the party. Twigs and smaller branches on the tree just outside the window bear tiny drops of water glowing in the grey light.

I have the coolest friends! Got a care package from one this morning filled with important things like cotton balls and shampoo and peppermint tea. Oh, and cocoa mix! Mmm... my mood is much better now, thanks.

Want to write more. We'll see what comes out later.

glad things . . .

Sheila Chandra's version of "Lament of McCrimmon/Song of the Banshee"

i love that version.

*hugs* and happy thoughts and wishes your way.

i am Working on improving the general state of my physical being and raising it to a level beyond what doctors think i should live with.
my recent pokings and inquiries have led me to Raw and Living Food. it is a little more effort, but the science behind it is sound and a friend assures me it is do-able on a budget like mine.

i was thinking of poking around a bit in my research and seeing how any of the ideas might help you with any of your specific problems.
it is just wrong that doctors don't tell us there are things out there that might help us. things we can do for ourselves.
i will let you know what comes of my readings and such.

again
*hugs*
and i am glad you got cocoa. it Helps. *grin*

I'd appreciate any info you can find. Spent the last few years focusing on trying to get a job; it's time for me to focus again on improving my health.

Thanks for the hugs! ::hugs:: back.

It's so good to know I've got wonderful friends, ya know? I don't feel like I'm worth the effort these days, but I am grateful.

Didn't sleep too well last night, but didn't choke either. That's something.

Oh man, I've been dealing with that choking while asleep. It's scary and a pain in the ass, too. Yay for the care package!! I'm so glad to hear about it. I'd like to tread through the snow and come have some cocoa with you if that's okay. I'll bring whipped cream.

If there is one medical symptom guaranteed to get my attention every time, difficulty breathing is it. Hate it. But so glad to get the care package! And I'd be glad to have you here for cocoa.

Been there and yes, it's scary! :O

*sends good vibes*

If there's anything I can do...if you email me your adress I could send you some swedish chocolate to cheer you up. :)

*hugs*
