Rest day

I had a difficult time sleeping last night because of pain. I woke up like every two hours all night. I didn’t get up till around 1pm and I made something to eat and had my coffee. I was still hungry so I made some tater tots and then another cup of coffee. I went back to my room to do some school work but instead I took a long nap. I didn’t get up again till around 6.

I made something to eat and checked my messages on my phone. I had a text from my niece but responded too late. I was feeling really shitty and tired. I didn’t think I was going to be up. I thought I would eat and then go back to bed but I started reading some stuff for my networking class and I am still up. It was an interesting article about transitions. I enjoyed it as there are so many transitions you go through life in. I have no idea what I am supposed to do with this. I have to read the powerpoint thing again. I read the next thing and it was about the website LinkedIn. I have a LinkedIn acct I made years ago. I have no touched it since I made it. I guess I need to update it some.

I am still in pain with my leg. My calf is the worst. I also got a slight headache but I think that is because I am tired. I did a lot of walking yesterday. It wore me out. I am glad I have rest days.

I got an email from my advisor saying it was time to think about registration for the spring. I picked out my classes and unfortunately, this means I will be on campus four days a week. That is going to be rough on me. I think the class times are the same or close to it. I am taking my 400 level psych class and another history class with the same professor.

I have therapy tomorrow. I sent her one of the articles I was reading today as it was good. I am glad she is open to things I send her. The other day I was triggered by something in the news and I want to talk about it but I don’t. It is not something I like to talk about. I hate that the news brings up stuff all the time.

I woke up before 2am to pee and then I had a sneeze attack and couldn’t go back to sleep for the life of me. I tried. I had something to eat around 630 and I had a coffee. My bitch sister bitched about everything to me, telling me to take the trash and recycle out, clean the counters, etc. I just wanted to drink my coffee in peace. I went back to bed as I was getting a headache. The headache turned into a migraine and my class was in jeopardy. I really wanted to go to the museum. I slept for a bit but then I was so tired, I didn’t want to leave the house. My migraine was gone thanks to meds but I felt shitty. I got dressed and made my way to the bus stop as the bus would be there in like 10 mins. Thank god I already had my outfit picked out.

I got to the area where the museum was and got lost of course. I wasn’t familiar with the area but knew some landmarks. I saw the Hood bottle which is near where I should be. I started walking toward that. The ship was there so I was in the right direction. The museum was on a drawbridge in the middle of this street over water. No Boston skyline could be seen. I took a pic of the ship and other surrounding things. It was interesting. I wanted to sit but there was no place for me to sit. I ended up standing most of the 45 minute tour. My legs were killing me and so were my feet. Then I had to walk back to the train station. I walked with one of my classmates. He was from the south. I had bought an iced tea but it was unsweetened. He couldn’t understand it. I smiled. I understood how southerners liked their sweet tea.

I came home exhausted. I had to pick up my meds. While I was there I also picked up something to eat. I like this Stouffer’s chicken romano thing. It has pasta and a chicken patty. It is pretty good and filling. I didn’t make it right away when I was home. I was tired and had to rest. My legs were killing me so bad. I knew I was going to have to pee soon because I drank the tea and then filled the cup up with water then drank a cran-grape drink on the way home. I played with the puppy, who was receptive of my affection. Yesterday, she could care less. Her mommy was home and that was the difference.

I am wicked tired and I am hurting. I am not doing anything tomorrow except for the readings for my gender class and maybe my networking class. I am trying to go over the stuff I missed but I keep getting distracted. It is boring stuff but I got to get through it. I still have to force myself to get to campus on Mondays. This coming Monday is a holiday so I don’t have to go. This class flooding is so difficult and threw a wrench into my semester.

Blog for today 06102026

I woke up around 530 to pee and had a hard time getting back to sleep. Intook my meds. I thought about getting up around 7 but there was nothing I wanted to do today.

I eventually went back to sleep for a few hours but woke up with bad dreams. I got up and had a cup of coffee. I let Honey out. She did her business. Was cold today. I didn’t want to go out. I’ll be going out tomorrow for class. We are going to the Boston Tea Party Museum and I can’t wait. Professor said to be there by 1 as the tour starts at 115. I will be there early as I am not sure how long it will take me to walk to where it is. Directions say 7 mins but that is for abled bodied people. Might take me twice as long.

I still need to work on my homework. Just polish it up a bit. I will turn it in when I see my professor tomorrow.

I made tater tots and a PB&J for my lunch and dinner. I didn’t feel like cooking. I wanted to make some eggs but I couldn’t be bothered. I laid down with the puppy most of the afternoon until my niece came home and then she went to her dogbed. I’ve had a relaxing day.
