Hubs and I have a cough that has been driving us up the wall for 4 days now and it’s making my anxiety creep up and up and up… I can feel this rattling in my chest that won’t go away which makes me bonkers. I will probably have to go to urgent care if it doesn’t get better. Last time I left it alone, I got pneumonia, but I was also coming off of Skyrizi. I’m sure I have an underlying asthma that isn’t helping either. Anyway, I know I sound like a hypochondriac. I am down 17 lbs from my last entry (211), so trying to creep on down and feel better. My goal is health. Of course looking better would be great, but I would like to lose some weight and get these asthma symptoms better under control as well. Work in progress.
I am honestly writing because my anxiety is through the roof and my hubs is at the store with the kids and I need something to bide my time until they get back. I should probably write more. I just get in these slumps where I don’t know what to do and feel too anxious to write but too anxious to sleep so I just get even more anxious. I slept maybe an hour last night. I start my new job tomorrow so I am praying I get some sleep tonight. Nathan and I both have been struggling with sleep with this cough we both have. I am praying and hopeful for recovery quickly.
We went to Clearwater the last day of school and had a great time, although Nathan vagal’d out and scared the ever living shit out of me. He’s fine, but it scared us all at the time. We went on a dolphin tour, swam at the calmest Gulf side beach, went for ice cream, went to the Aquarium where they filmed Dolphin Tale (haven’t seen it), cuddled close, and the boys watched lots of SpongeBob. We also hit a Bucees on the way back which was great! I got some obligatory keychains for my travel keychain collection.
So far in the 2 weeks into Summer we had our big trip and have been to our neighborhood pool a few times and been on some family walks. We will likely do another Braves game soon. We watched the Back to the Future trilogy with the boys and got them a slip n slide which was an instant hit. We are trying to really enjoy the summers we have with them while they are young. Ethan lost 2 teeth in the same week 😳 Charlie will start kindergarten in August and Benjamin will be in 4th grade. It’s going by so insanely fast and I don’t like it. I just want to hit pause a little while.
