Weather is improving at least but still have to really take it slow. The spoons thing as always. Didn't sleep well last night. Turned out the light around 11 tossed for a bit, opened eyes around 1 something almost 2. Jon got up to pee, waited for him to come back then it was my turn then tossed and turned for both of us for hours. Checked the time every hour or so when I turned over. Finally he got up around six something and I got at least two hours of sleep until my alarm went off at 8:30. Felt rested enough to sit up at least.
Garden and weather is going good. It needs a light watering but no energy for that today.
First mistake was making BLT's for breakfast, that took a lot of energy but still tasted good. I took a break while Jon took a shower after we ate, could tell already it was going to be a low energy day. We needed bread, milk and soup so took my time getting going after Jon got his shower. Heart was fluttering a bit more than I was comfortable with but kept an eye on the chest tightness. Rib muscle is better, not coughing as much and tightness at the 'top' of taking a breath is not there anymore. Stilll feeling a bit foggy brained though so we took it slow getting to to the sotre. That took a LOT of energy and instead of fixing something at home decided we had enough money to get a sandwich at Jersey Mikes. I ate half a giant which is good and more than I've had in a while.
After eating I decided I needed to nap to kind of reset my energy. It helped. Had two helpings of yogurt and marmalade and later on will probably fix egg salad sandwich. I had a second avocado we had bought and was going to put that on our sandwich but it was too bruised when I cut it open. Oh well, such is the way of avocados.
I have outstanding medical bills now. Appointment with cardiologist NP is on Monday, same building as GI doctor in April. Need to get blood tests done tomorrow and then hopefully can kind of coast the rest of the week.
One of the things keeping me tossing was the world in general and the state of things happening in our own country. I had a premonition that things would be very very bad when the election went south. Personal finances, repercussions of everything going on is very stressful and hard to keep off my mind. Meditation and puzzles and all that barely works when you're worried about your health, government and everything else.
As always, it's mostly money problems. We get our SS money this coming weekend as well as food money and have to consider energy level and space out the shopping trips as I can manage them. I won't pay for food delivery, we only did that one month because they were offering free delivery over a certain amount.
So one day, one hour at a time.
