Okay I’m definitely sick. *cough cough* I get this way every few months, and I am going to start tracking it on this blog. Usually it comes with the seasonal changes, but it’s still high summer. It could be because of camp and because I’m trying to get some rescue collies here from Houston, and that is really taxing my anxiety. I have to call people on the phone (ack!) and talk to them, and be honest and frank, and coordinate transportation from a distance. But I’m holding up okay, thanks to the Zoloft.

I wake up okay in the mornings, but then as the day goes by I feel worse and worse. Run down, tired, grumpy, and my insides are just mucky. Yeah… mucky. That does fit how I feel. Mucky and Muddy, even. As strange as that may sound. Going to dog camp will help and be a lot of fun. I won’t be staying at a Bed and Breakfast, instead it’s cabins like in Scouts, but it’ll be fun, it was great last time. I am so excited!

When I got onto this blog this morning… I was surprised to see that the skin had reverted back to the default skin. Hrm… now that was odd. I went in and changed it back to this one, thankful that nothing had been sabotaged on the blog or on the server.

Not sure why the skin would have changed back. Though I do hear it’s Weird Internet Day today.. maybe that is why. Anyone here having weird things happen?

I have to do something to make my perception of the passing of the day slow down. I swear, entire days fly by for me now. What used to take forever, as a kid, now seems like a half an hour.

Some things make my days go by too fast. Blogging, unfortunately, does. When I post and read all day long the days just jet by. I don’t hardly even notice the time pass then suddenly it’s time for bed. Work makes time go by fast, too, but I can’t get around work for a few years so have to just try to slow it down.

Sitting and enjoying the backyard, the summertime, and the dogs helps the time to slow down. And so what am I doing? Sitting here blogging. But not for too much longer.

Oh, and TV and movies help the time to go slower. Not as slowly as idle time, but slower than blogging. Computers.. I swear, they suck the time down to some other alternate universe or something. Hrm.

Looks like I’m more dog, but I’ll admit it, I knew the doggie answers.

You Are: 90% Dog, 10% Cat

You’re a dog at heart - and it’s not a bad thing at all! You love unconditionally, and you’re extremely loyal. And while you may act silly at times, you’re really quite smart - and a good learner!

My under the tank heater came yesterday. Yay! So now I can start getting the temp right. Well, I need to get the sand in there, first. maybe today I can stop at Home Depot and get some play sand. I wonder if I’m supposed to boil all of it to sanitize it. Boiling a lot of sand is not my idea of fun…

Hopefully my temp and humidity guages will come soon, too, so I can really get those two things going, they are most critical!

Weird dreams last night. When I woke up in the wee hours to go to the bathroom I told myself I had to remember at least one bit of one. And I did.

For some reason I felt the desire to pour cottage cheese into my cup holder in my car. It seemed to make sense at the time, but then when I went to eat it, it had dog hair in it and was completely gross. I don’t like cottage cheese anyway (but I feed it to the dogs) so it was quite odd indeed!

There were more dreams…. something about a color spectrum and collies fitting into categories of them.. but it’s not clear anymore.

Which reminds me.. I should go and take some Milk Thistle. It usually helps me out when I’m feeling like this. I get this way every few months, and really I should record it. I feel down and low energy and my insides… my abdomen, just feels bad. It feels uncomfortable and uneasy. Not nauseous… sometimes the English Language just lacks the proper words for things.

I feel run down, my throat hurts a bit, I’m tense and I feel uncomfortable and I just want to fidget because if I’m still I will feel the un-wellness of how I feel. I don’t know how to describe it.

My stuffy nose the last few nights is a telltale sign, too. And I can be sick without major signs.. even though I still feel like I must have physical proof of being sick.

I worked for 3 hours today so I can leave early tomorrow and take a couple of my dogs to a special chiropractic vet. I hope it helps them out. I’ll post more about it over on my other blog, Tip Tail.

Hrmph.

Okay.. maybe if I write about this one the memories will come back. I did dream last night… and I woke up remember it all, but then made breakfast for my husband, and got distracted… was it about dogs? No… was it about a man? Oh maybe… It could have been about dog shows, dog training.. I remember a building, and a restaurant?

Gah, it’s not coming back to me now, darnit! I wish I could retain dreams longer during the day.

I think I might be sick.. or getting there. My nose has been stuffy at night for about 5 days now. Today I have no energy or desire to do anything at all. My head seems to hurt, I have no appetite, my ears are stuffy.. and I just want to sit and veg and watch TV. Even blogging is seeming to be too much work. Typing is too much work, though reading is not too bad. I might go and knit and watch Doctor Who, the eps with Captain Jack Harkness. John Barrowman… yummy.

Ugh. Anyway, maybe the Swiss Army can help…

I don’t even really feel like I’m up to going to flyball practice tonight… ugh. I’ll have to see how I feel in a bit. Chase will be mad if we don’t go, and we have so much fun.

The worst thing about jogging is… the rest of the day I’m starving! I get so hungry I want to eat everything in sight. I’m better today, not as hungry, but yesterday at 8pm I was just starving. Ugh. I had a tomato sandwich which was pretty good.

I try to stick with vegetables but they go through me so fast. I try to stick with fruit, but same thing. I broke down and ate some bread. Home grown tomatoes from the neighbors. Our tomatoes didn’t grow this year at all, I’m bummed, I love home grown tomatoes.

I wish I could afford a personal vegan chef. That would be so nice. But then, I could afford Condo Hotels too.
