I called out sick from work today. I spent most of the day sleeping or dozing. I really hope I feel better tomorrow because I have things to do. I’ve got a hair cut and the installation of a permanent crown, which I’m looking forward to. The temp crown is annoying.
I’m going to be missing the practice concert tonight. I’m not feeling well enough to go and sing, and I don’t want to risk spreading this to my fellow choir members or anyone at the senior home.
For some reason, yesterday I decided to soak a bunch of black beans. I have a lot of beans around but I haven’t made any. It’s one of those things where I just kind of had to trick myself into doing it. I kept the temperature really low so I could nap while it was cooking. I added random spices and some of the peppers I got from a neighbor. And now I have beans to eat. A big mess-o-beans. It kind of makes me happy.
I have a calendar reminder set annually for December 1st. It’s a simple message: No Eggnog. For several years in a row, Ambrose would get it into his head that he liked eggnog and he would buy some when it became available. Then he’d bring it home, drink some, and remember that he doesn’t actually like it. I put the calendar reminder on in 2021.
I’m going to bed early tonight. Going to get lots of rest and feel better in the morning. I will manifest feeling better!
I have been having some interesting dreams with this illness, but they’re hard to remember and hold onto. Someone from high school showed up in one and I had to look up their last name via mutuals on Facebook. A dream of snow this morning, and dogs and my best friend.
I can feel another headache coming on. I hope it goes away overnight. I’ve got some driving to do tomorrow to get my tooth.
