Apple Carplay is REVOLUTIONARY

Trash can with CDs and school t-shirt. Starting to throw away things that can't go to Korea.
I have had my car for over 2 years and didn't realize what apple carplay could do.  Did you know it all syncs--from my audiobooks to google maps.  Alot of the apps on my phone will display on the screen in my car.  This is REVOLUTIONARY!  Who KNEW!!!???   I was so blown away that I had to take a picture of the screen as I drove out to the country. 

My feet, ankles, and legs swelled to twice their normal size today.  I have no idea why.  What I know is that until my doctor added that extra pill I was fine.  The cardiologist told me to stop taking everything except the new pill.  I think I am retaining water now.  It explains the serious weight gain I had this week.  I'm going to drop the current treatment plan with the one new med and go back to the original before people started tampering with my meds.  I am only taking the one pill that I was on before all of this chaos.  I will send my doctor an email about it and let him know.  My friend says that everytime you go to the doctor they want to give you pills and new meds.  It is like some conspiracy.  I went to an ENT about my congestion and she prescribed a bunch of stuff.  I ain't taking none of it.  It is not worth it.  

ONE GOOD THING: I did several things for self-care:   I decorated my planner today.  I went to the pool and exercised.  I took a walk after dinner.

I am grateful for friends that invite me to their ranch for Memorial Day, low risk activities like swimming pools, 90% of my classroom is complete, good meals, exercise even when it doesn't feel good in the moment, my favorite pastors that give sermons that encourage me, google and my mother.

    I don't like the sound of that medication at all! Whenever my mom has had issues, it's always been because of a medication or a couple of them interacting. I trust pharmacists more than doctors in that regard. I'm glad that you're having a good Memorial Day and getting to some fun things.

One Good Thing

My dinner today:  roasted brussels sprouts and zucchini topped with a meat sauce.  On the side is cheese.  I'm glad I didn't put it actually on the sauce.  The cheese wasn't that good Late in the afternoon, I developed a sore throat. I worried about it because I am worried about getting COVID 19, even though I know, sore throats are not a symptom of the disease.  Since I've been sitting here on the couch I realized that when I went to school the AC was not on in my hallway.  I used the fan, sitting under that fan probably blew tons of dust up my sinuses.  It is a shame that the littlest things now cause us to worry. Therapist has challenged me to write down one good thing I do every day.  Therapist believes this will raise my self-esteem and empower me to be bold and speak up for myself.  Exact words were:  Being humble is not helping you.  We talked at length about how women are taught not to be assertive and that is one of t...

I hate email

Image
Exercise is saving my life right now.  Literally, my blood sugars are in check and I dropping weight. It is keeping me sane.  Saving my life! I hate email more than anything!  Seriously, hate it!  You know why?  Because ZERO inbox is so so elusive.  Even more, I hate work email.  Why?  Because work emails mean there is just one more thing to do.  I just spent the last 30 minutes working on school email.  Email for me could be a full time job and I hate it and  I can't keep up with it.   It is like grading.  The work is never done, no matter how much time you invest. A friend from another high school in town sent me another email about an opening at her school.  She has been eager to get me to join the staff there for years.  I need to respond to her and tell her that my plan is still to move to Korea. Before I can go to bed tonight, I need to finish a letter of recommendation for a student.  Ano...

It doesn't have to be this way. . .

I attempted to make a Banh Mi Bowl for dinner.  I replaced the typical rice/noodles with noodles.  Not as good as the restaurant, but edible. I guess I have been in a permanent state of grumptitude mixed with loneliness and grief since the start of the pandemic.  I didn't realize I was grumpy. A friend brought it to my attention by asking, so when are you going to see your doctor, again. My response:  I don't know, maybe in June to get a 3 month prescription before Korea. Friend:  I wonder what he would say.  Me:  Say about what? Friend:  Your mood. Maybe my mood is in stark contrast to what my friends normally see from me.  No one is always happy and smiling.   I will admit everything bothers me.  I should be pulling away from my school, but I haven't.  And I don't know why.  Maybe it is because I am in a holding pattern. Maybe, it is because I won't get true closure.  I have a mix of emotions and...
