Today is, odd.

 No leg cramps or spasms, slept okay and in fact slept in past 7. Yesterday we were both up at 7 despite me wanting to sleep in. But despite all that, something is off..not quite sure what it is but want to guess finally dropped off the prednisone effects. Appetite is almost non-existent, except this morning when I woke up hungry but not ravenous. Not that I was tired, just not enthusiastic about doing anything.

The rain has subsided for today but really pounded down last night around ten. Seriously came down hard enough I thought it might be hail but just heavy cloudburst of rain. So garden is thoroughly saturated and everything survived the wind as well.

So, low energy but not fatigue. I cooked up some chicken strips which was an energy and focus struggle for me. I wanted to do a double coating but didn't see what I needed to do for the batter and just ended up soaking them in milk and egg whipped up. They turned out okay, I just don't have any enthusiasm for much right now. Fumbled some of the utensils as I was moving things and cooking, nothing major thankfully. Even some of the things that Jon has been doing is kind of getting on my nerves again  nothing really major. 

He uses 70% alcohol for cleaning oil off dishes and pans. The smell of medical alcohol takes me all the way back to when I was a kid going to the doctor and how the exam room always smelled like rubbing alcohol. Which is not a comforting thing for the times I had to go see the doctor. Again, annoying and internal grumble inducing. 

He said kindly that the chicken we had yesterday one of the pieces was ice cold. Which is physically impossible. I fried them thoroughly, sliced them up, checking for pinkness inside and then put them in the microwave for an extra 30 seconds just to be sure they were cooked through. So not sure what he was talking about or what he encountered. I told him as much and also that the pieces he went back for a second round had been sitting on the counter near an open window. Easy for small pieces to get very cold. So, whatever.

My right shoulder is twinging which is a sign I am holding tension and anxiety there. That only started a little while ago so Tylenol it is. Can't take any muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatory or even any chest congestion meds without checking with doctors first. I'm coughing a bit more but it's chest not heart induced. Can't seem to clear my throat completely and there's tightness when I take a deep breath. Yes, technically need to be on an inhaler but again it's just noise value at this point. 

Heart monitor is off my chest and out of my hands, I got an email notification of new test results available but the only one I found was from last month which I already saw and so did my doctor. Looking further it was the Hep A&B test results that were negative/ non-immune so need to contact my primary and make arrangements for those.

Not even sure what I want to do with my day. Already took Rocky out and it was cold outside! Breezy with high puffy clouds and beautiful pale blue sky peeking through in spots.  

So an 'off day' but not exactly sure how to pinpoint what, how or why. Just an off day.
