Garage Sale Weekend Mood
Monday, July 27, 2009 | A General Update story

Getting ready to move, I had a garage sale yesterday.  However, since the newspaper "forgot" to print my sale notice only 6 cars came. I made $31 all day.  and that doesnt count the cost of the tiny garage sale signs i bought. not worth the effort at all, especially when i figure what it cost me to hire somebody to help pack and move the stuff out there.  my neice, and boyfriend and his teenaged son came from across the state to help pack up my stuff (and take some things back home) and instead they spent all day packing up and listing (for tax purposes) everything that didnt sell that I am going to donate to charity.  at least I'll make more than $2 per hour on it.  And my 14 year old cat, Charlie, came home last nite with a swollen jaw and tried to eat a soft treat and cried.  I've got to take him to the vet this morning if i can get him in.  and i was going to drive home with neice, if I could get the house sale paperwork done enough today because they need more than one car to take all the stuff (my mother's cedar chest, etc. family keepsakes, antique pictures, etc.). But now it depends on whats wrong with Charlie.

 

I was trying to reduce my Nascobal to every other week on Sun. but had to take it Friday because my feet were burning up to the shins from all the walking I've done from house to garage for the sale.  At least, no restless legs.  Maybe I walked them off during the day.

I did have  a lot of ankle leg cramps (low Potassium?--ate a banana and they went away).
Heart is holding out ok, as long as i go slow and rest a lot.

One good thing about being so exhausted from cleaning and packing and getting ready for garage sale:

I am so tired I sleep like a log, and no restless legs until I wake up about 5am, then maybe for a while before I sleep again.

But, since I stopped taking antihistamine for chronic inner ear infection ear is fine but lungs are filling up. I wheeze and sneeze and sniffle and whatever half the day.

good news/ not so good news?? Mood
Sunday, July 12, 2009 | A Breaking News story

My leg cramps and twitching are gone and I'm sleeping 5 hours at a time and all with 1/2 a Mirapex per nite.

And, I got an offer for my home on the first day.  too low of course, but I made a good counter offer. 

Dont know if there is any relation, but since I stopped taking Loratadine antihistimine, my breathing has started crackling and raleing in the mornings. I have trouble catching my breath then and if I walk 100 feet. I was taking it for vertigo and inner ear chronic infection but now I wonder if it was disguising some increase in my COPD? (I have more trouble breathing out than in)
