Our service junkies have had this SUV parked alongside us for a few days now. There’s been two or three at their place and I guess they’re working on something inside but at least it’s inside where I don’t have to listen to it. When Tom was coming home yesterday we saw a guy carrying a sheet of wood that looked like a floorboard or something like that.

The weather is still cloudy and wet but I feel much better today than I did yesterday. Started off with hip and upper back pain, but Ibuprofens took it away. Now why can’t there be a quick fix like that for whenever my anxiety strikes, minus the side effects? I’m just enjoying the calm while it lasts because I know that sooner or later it’s coming back to haunt me. I just don’t know if it will be a matter of days, weeks, or months.

Although I feel better rested today, I woke up a million times last night. It’s weird how I went from sleeping well to sleeping like I usually slept when I was going through the worst of the perimenopause. I usually sleep better at night regardless, so yeah, it’s a bit weird. Didn’t take Benadryl before bed the last couple of nights and I wonder if that may have had anything to do with it. I’ve been taking Children’s Benadryl and sometimes not even the full dose of that. Might take it before bed tonight to help me sleep more consistently.

I like how I haven’t heard nearly as many commercial planes but that could be due to the cloud coverage and the rain.

The hypo symptoms are slowly going away but my memory is still so foggy that I don’t even remember much of my dreams lately. I know I had several and each time I woke up last night I made a mental note to remember them but can’t remember anything now. Since more of my thyroid has died I’m now worried that this dose won’t get my TSH as low as it used to. Initially, it got my numbers normal. Then it got them down between 6 and 10. Now I wonder if I can even hit the single digits at all.

Managed to catch up on cleaning and I might do even more later on since I never know how my energy levels are going to be from day to day. I am going to take the day off from exercising, though, because I think it’s more likely that a muscle, tendon or ligament injury is causing my hip pain as opposed to Osteo. It’s unlikely I have Osteo because I run.

Tom and I traded alarm clocks. This one is much harder to read because the stupid idiots that made it have it backlit but at least all I need to do to keep it from being so blinding is lean the throw pillow against it. The tinted cellophane we put on the other one fell off, so since he doesn’t mind the light it’s in his room.
