~Sleepy Sunday~

I couldn't sleep last night...allergies, pain..so didn't make it to church today. I've had a headache, feel sluggish, toxic, overloaded, achey, almost like my period's coming, but haven't had one in months again.
I'm also craving sugar & salt, big-time, & feeling like i need to drink a LOT more water to quenck my thirst. That reminds me, i need to get in SOON & do the lab work, see if i do have Metabolic Syndrome or not...perhaps a part of me just doesn't want to know. Ok, that's very likely. It freaked me out to read just how much it increases your chances of heart attacks or stroke, especially after feeling like i was having one (heart attack) on moving day. I feel like my blood sugars are outa whack, like when i had gestational diabetes. (Especially after eating, i can barely stay awake.)
It's been helpful to start moving again, stretching more, using my hand weights some...gave me some energy to push harder to get more unpacking done, got about 20 boxes done yesterday. I just want to throw things out, have been posting TONS on freecycling, every time it goes to someone who'll actually use it, it feels better & better in here...wish i could post pics!
Off to unpack more, then exercise...might even make it out for a little walk with Hannah, she's been patiently waiting for me to feel up to it.
Wish I'd been up to going to church this morning.
I need to start sleeping better again...much as i hate taking anything, may be time to get some more herbal sleep aid stuff....or just cheap allergy medicine, that stuff knocks me out!
(Though i suspect it's harder on the liver than the herbal stuff!)

Did ya find your blender yet? Well? Did ya?

Going without good sleep is a really bad one isn't it. Seems to make pretty much everything worse. I hope you're sleeping better soon...and get the test done whether you want to or not!

We can't have you getting sicker yanno.

Hugs,
Shannon
