Joys Of Getting Sick

Find my mind wandering

Where

I am not sure

Except it’s

Not with my physical body.

Product of taking medication

For a growing nausea

Spreading within my body.

As I try

To fight off

This year’s first bug

While keeping

My other meds

Within my body.

Added on top of

A lingering depression

Which has grip my soul

For more than two weeks.

Need to be active

But oh so hard

When it’s so easy

To surrender myself.

Caving in

To this destructive desire

Without any conscious thought

Or care

On my part.

Beyond the warmth

Of my pillow

And bed.

I like that....

Actually I don't mind being laid up sick for a couple of days...absolved of all responsibilities...

Free to wander aimlessly in your own mind....

Well done, Therisa!

Well hope it goes away quickly, and you can return to the library to keep in touch with us. Were you able to make any of your wonderful soup recently?

Oh Therisa-snuggle down in your bed with that soft pillow and let your feline nurses cuddle you back to health!

Hope you feel better soon.

Very good poem!

Hugs

Not sure, that I want Squeak as my nurse, John. He knocked over a full kettle of water, while I was away for a doctor's appointment and my weight-in for October. Got water all over my kitchen floor. Sigh. Lost 1.6 lbs, last month, but my glucose average....well, best not to talk about it. Just hope this time, it doesn't settle in my lungs and need to get anti-biotics, as a result. Thanks for the well wishes.

Cats really don't make good nurses. I agree. Except for the comfort of their warmth and purrs.

I hope you are better today.

Pamper yourself for awhile.

Sadly, John. I'm at the start of this bleeping bug. Spent most of the weekend sneezing and starting a nice dry cough. So its going to be, a long battle here. Least, with the new dose of Cymbalta, I will not have any problems sleeping. Alas poor Venus and Squeak, will have to survive without me for awhile, until I am better.

Hi Therisa!

How are you today?

I'm glad to see you are well enough to make it to the library.

Get well soon!

Hugs

Trips to the library, are more a sanity chech for me. Forcing myslef, not to totally isolate myself, from the world, as is my wont to do, John. At this moment, I am running a fever and can't get warm. Sigh, anyone want a second-hand bug? Going cheap!!

Hi Therisa,

Thank you for the offer, but I seem to manage to find more than I want around here, so will have to decline.

Maybe that one particular doctor that has given you such a hard time is in the market for one. (just kidding)

Please get to feeling better soon!

Huggs,

Opal/Mary

      It's kinda weird how these people are so worked up over making these laws.  They would have no effect on cis people either way.  Yet they are the ones with the obsession.  They ought to just stay out of trans people's business.

      Bean burritos are still popular in my family.   Black eyed peas are the one legume I'm not fond of.  I need to add lots of onions. And of course always cook your pintoes with fat-meat.  And for y'all yankees, navy beans with a big ol' ham bone are hard to beat.

      Seek out community, not just online but in person if possible. Making trans friends is a pretty quick and easy way to gauge if you have much in common with them.

      Glad to be home and did go out for a walk this morning.Good thing is that went good.Still taking it easy

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Positive side of the mixed bag.

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
