the_rckIt was warm for Michigan in December yesterday, but my lungs were still unhappy about the temperature. I managed everything I needed to by breathing through my cotton scarf. I'm worried about this because it will get colder going forward and because I'm not likely to leave Michigan in coming years. I think that, when I see my primary care doctor again, I’ll ask about a referral to an asthma specialist.
My mother and stepfather have cancelled their plans to come to the concert on Thursday. Mom had apparently been trying to text me for several days without getting through, so she sent me an email.
I’ve got a long to do list, and I’m going to have to make myself deal with it over the next few days. I think I’ll start with a shower, then load and run the dishwasher, then make the two necessary phone calls after 8:30 a.m. After that, the most critical thing is an inventory of which ingredients I have for Christmas cooking so that I can give Scott a list of things to pick up. He’s going to have to stop at Kroger tonight for a prescription anyway.
Yesterday’s Chex mix came out tasting odd, IMO. Scott thinks it’s fine, though, so the oddness isn’t a problem. Our theory is that it’s because we had (and I used) smoked almonds instead of plain roasted almonds.
We were out late enough last night, running errands, that we had to pick up food for me while we were out. Cordelia and I got soup from Zoup. I was pretty frustrated by the menu as it relates to what I can eat for dinner-- I wanted to avoid peppers of all sorts, dairy, tomatoes, garlic, and anything spicy. Not one soup met all the criteria. The sandwiches were all of the sort where I’d be paying full price for plain bread and half of the meat. I can have romaine lettuce (or iceberg), so the salads were out. At any rate, I ended up compromising on the dairy to get the chicken potpie soup. I’ve had it before without trouble, but I wasn’t sure about it under current circumstances. As it turned out, I didn’t end up with bedtime reflux, so I guess I’ll get that again if we go back.
One of the calls I need to make is for setting up PT for my left elbow. While I was so sick, the pain from that wasn’t as noticeable. I don’t know that the pain levels changed so much as that I was focused enough on breathing and on sinus pain that those mattered more.
