the_rckI ended up taking a cab down to check in for the Anomaly because I missed the bus I meant to take and then wasn't likely to make the next bus. I asked in the Slack channel if anyone could give me a ride, but no one answered before the cab came.
I can't actually say that I enjoyed the Anomaly. It wasn't horrible or anything. It just wasn't fun. I think that it would have been if I'd been with people I knew. As it was, I ended up listening to a lot of conversations that I couldn't contribute to because I vehemently disagreed with the positions everyone else agreed on (parenting issues, mostly). Our team captain did a good job, but the ops folks didn't hold to what they'd promised us-- Our group was supposed to stay within a two block area, but they marched us all over.
Scott and Cordelia picked me up about an hour and a half before the thing ended. I was ready to drop. I left a lot of my gear with the group, so I now really, really need to get out and hack portals in order to replenish things. I don't know that that's going to happen unless I nag Scott over it. Maybe if I go with him for grocery shopping, he'll be willing to trade a bit of driving around so I can hack things. Of course, the place I'd like to go is a bit of a drive and requires a lot of getting out of the car and walking.
Scott and Cordelia went out for ice cream after dinner, but I was too tired to manage it. I ended up sleeping very badly last night. I had stress related reflux which calmed after I took an Ativan but still cost me an hour of sleep. I only managed the c-PAP for a couple of hours before I started feeling like the air flow was choking me. I was up and down a lot. I really, really want a nap now. I just don't know that I have either the time or the ability to relax enough to sleep.
I had a headache when I got up this morning, so I experimented-- I had one hard candy to see if sugar would help. That hard candy almost entirely killed the headache, so I'm now almost entirely sure that what helps my morning headaches is the sugar content of my morning tea/coffee rather than the caffeine content. That's actually bad news because I'm supposed to be trying to cut the sugar.
I'll be seeing my primary care doctor tomorrow, so I need to go back through the last few months of this journal to see the patterns that I want to discuss with her. I'll see my psychiatrist on Tuesday.
Incomplete list of things to discuss with my doctor
Allergies/sneezing, eyes itching/watering
Elbow tendinitis - sleep and functionality
Sugar/Fat/Protein and fatigue
Inability to relax enough to nap
Morning headaches - sugar
Medication schedule once school starts - levothyroxine, omeprazole, etc.
Trying to sleep in small house with other people awake - anxiety/hypervigilance
Exercise - muscles feeling like I haven't eaten in several days. Am I just that out of shape?
Conflict between eating for IBS and eating for blood sugar and eating for fatigue and eating for reflux and eating for allergies/migraines. Different nutritionist?
Avocados (which she recommended) are a terrible option for fat because more than half grow mold before they get soft, and half of those that ripen prove inedible when I cut them open. Also not available on any predictable schedule. At least don't seem to cause reflux. Other ideas?
Inexpensive healthy foods that fit restrictions/needs. Nutritionist has no advice.
Minimal preparation options for healthy food. Under ten *minutes* per day. No cutting. No appliances. Nothing heavier than an empty aluminum pan to lift/move/get from cupboard.
Options for uncontaminated tuna? Uncontaminated rice?
Swallowing problems
Ways of cooling off that don't involve AC or fans
Increased hand pain with lack of sleep
How often is it safe to take naproxen?
Hands going numb in bed
