For all the good stuff I do, I seem to be coming down with the sniffles. This morning I felt it, took a whopping 5000 mg. of vitamin c (this stuff tastes like a lemon on 'roids, or at least what I assume a lemon on 'roids would taste like). I add a packet of stevia. It still makes me shudder. But it helped.
You know how, when you take in a bunch of vitamin c, you end up peeing it out and you know it? I didn't. That means I needed that bodybuilding lemon in my body. I had another dose tonight along with zinc.
I also had a nap. It started out as a 20 minute nap, but ended up being more than an hour. My husband is a saint. I didn't hear him sort the laundry mere feet away from me, and by the time I got up, clothes were in the dryer. I had a dose of organic essiac tea and an apple. I really wanted a bowl of organic cereal, as my hormones are still on a rampage, but I figured that the 3 bowls I had prior to my nap were sufficient.
Needless to say, I am feeling slightly better. I'm going to knock myself on my ass, as they say (whoever they are!) so that this thing doesn't get me. Luckily - haha - I got quite a few bug bites last night and they are killing me - swollen and itching - and all on my left side (the side without lymph??? Give me a f*cking break, bugs!!!) So, I am considering a dose of antihistamine, which I hate - but at least it will assure that I am not only knocked the hell out, but also may help in relieving the swelling. BECAUSE I HAVE NO GAAAAD DAMNED LYMPH NODES!!! Ok, I have some, but still... it takes forever to heal on my left side. And if I end up with some lymphedema crap, I am going to be one crazy bug killing Mama! I've always been allergic to them, but now? And seriously, why the left side only??? There's also one on my forehead. I have fake bangs that I may clip in, though a baseball hat will do the trick. Or the I don't give a crap if I have a bug bite on my forehead attitude. We'll see how I'm feeling with my antihistamine hangover. And I had planned on a caffeine free weekend, but that might not be good after the meds.
I'm definitely not going out tonight, which I had considered doing. I've got way too much shite going on in the next few weeks and can not afford to get sick. Or be all itchy and scratchy...
