    This cold is kicking my ass 💀 I’m so tired

    The cat was curled up inside my oodie on the couch, and I just said to my partner “don’t sit there, Mickey is under there”. As soon as I said that, Mickey was all “ma-eo”, promptly exited said oodie.

    The apes cannot be right in this household, only the feline is correct - Mickey, probably

    Calling it an early night here. I’m going to try and switch back to Melbourne time as much as I can. Didn’t get any work done today and started noticing my historic irritations with my mum creeping in as she’s getting better, don’t need that polluting my mindspace and going back to teenage memories, so an early retreat and an early start tomorrow where I can focus on what I need to get done for the life I have back home.

    Hmm, contents insurance is due and the premium is up 20%. Ran it through their online calculator for the same details and it’s only up 10%. Absolutely shameless.

    Annoyingly my policy expires 4 days before my planned moving date.

    I need to take phosphate supplements due to my levels being very low post iron infusion and having now dropped further which is a risk to my heart.

    But they’ve given me supplements with artificial sweeteners which I don’t tolerate. I’m seriously struggling with being able to take them.

    The resulting stomach upset is wasting fluid I can’t afford to lose (dehydration) and causing extra pain but at the same time I can feel something definitely is wrong. I do need to replace the phosphates. I’m really weak, dizzy, and dropping things from my numb hands.

    I’ve been searching for any alternatives and rung a support worker who is going to check out some possible options.

    If I can’t take them by mouth it will have to be done via iv which means hospital. I’m hoping I’ll be able to access it through an urgent care or a privately paid service but maybe not.

      You absolutely can get tabs without sweeteners, was on them during chemo. Also fizzy berocca-like form. Speak to your pharmacist.

      so many hugs

      do you have anyway to relax after taking your tabs? A tv show which completely distracts you? Something to take your mind off the discomfort?

    Man, I’m so exhausted after a 3 hour cooking marathon (not including half an hour of popping over to the shops) plus another hour of cleaning up. But I think we are good for food now for the next 3-4 days. Taken me a while to recover but now I feel ready to at least start writing some work to-do stuff down… If I’m lucky I’ll get some things done today.

    I’ve worked hard today. I’ve had 5 coffees and roughly 99 trips to the dunny and I’ve discovered a new nerve located close to my hip that likes to give me a zap every now and again which is fucking fun.

        I know it’s very boring, but I actually don’t mind eating the same thing all the time. I still go out to dinner and get takeout sometimes but I just feel better (mentally as well) when I’m eating fairly clean.

          I’m the same, I don’t mind the same food, in a way it makes life easier, not thinking about what to eat is one less thing on which to waste my time

          and I wish I was eating “clean” , but I’m eating cleaner than I was, which is something

    walked home along the beach

    the colours were so beautiful

    I love the rocks under the waves at high tide, this is where I usually go for walks
