coffeeadventure

I haven't had tummy problems this bad in a while. I feel like my tummy is full of gremlins. I keep having sharp stabby pain in the left side of my tummy.
Constipation sucks so much. It hurts like hell. My GI doctor wants me to start eating dark leafy greens and other fiber rich veggies and fruit. I haven't gotten it yet.
So about 5 days ago I got an email saying it was from my bank. They said a suspicious charge was made. I didn't recognize it so I contacted my bank and they disabled the card and were sending me a new card within 7 days. I thought ok great... until the online services I pay for started kicking back for not being able to process. So I'm gonna have lots of late fees. Fun times.

My current #coffeeadventure is interesting. I made salted caramel flavored coffee, added white chocolate toffee flavor cappuccino powder, almond milk and a splash of cinnamon roll flavored coffee creamer. I know it's a lot, but you gotta trust me, it's better than 7-Eleven cappuccino. All of the flavors balance out. It's silky smooth and delicious.
My current pain level is 7.5. But my lumbar doesn't hurt at all so I suppose it's not so bad. But the intermittent rolling gut pain sucks.

I'm making a pot of pumpkin spice flavored coffee. I'm gonna add some oatmeal cookie flavored coffee creamer. I imagine it's gonna be epic. Tomorrow morning I will be making psychocandy tea and using the creamer.

Today's #coffeeadventure is "death by chocolate" flavored coffee mixed with half of a stick of hazelnut IQ Joe, a scoop of white chocolate toffee flavored cappuccino powder, 2 squirts of sucralose and topped with oat milk. It's very intense and sweet but it's perfect for me. I love sweet deep complex flavors. I want to get some new syrup. Like butter rum and marshmallow and pistachio. I want to make more complex flavors. I am also going to get some flavored hot cocoa powder to mix with my coffee.

What can I say... I'm a fancy bitch.

She made me a pot of coffee this morning just before I woke up. It's delicious. She made the Nutcracker Sweet coffee which is really yummy. I added some pumpkin caramel syrup and a splash of oat milk. It's perfect. I was feeling very down this morning but now I feel better. She gave me half of a Norco and 2 aspirin but my pain is very intense. I'll have her put some CBD cream on my spine. My middle back is really ouchy. My entire spine is crunchy. Every time I breathe deeply something goes crrrrunch.

I woke up at 8am with intense sharp stabbing back pain so I took a Norco at about 830. A half hour ago I asked my caregiver what time I took the Norco and she snapped at me. I didn't know she was busy with work. So I looked at the clock and realized it had been 5 hours. I usually take one every 4 hours. No wonder I was hurting so much. So I went and got a 7.5mg Norco. When I got back to my bed I realized I had a really nasty migraine. So I took a sumatriptan and 2 Excedrin. That was 20 minutes ago. I'm starting to notice my migraine has decreased in severity. My back still hurts like hell.

I've got therapy at 3pm. My caregiver is supposed to join me but I think she's not going to. I emailed my therapist the journal prompts she and I worked on last night. I actually posted some of the answers in Self Discovery Workshop if you're interested.

My caregiver made me a jug of cold brew coffee last night. She and I discussed how making me coffee when I'm sad or having a high pain day is the trick to making me happy. She didn't realize how important coffee is to me. I'm working on a bottle of juice right now. I'm gonna mix the coffee with a protein shake.

I'm gonna be able to have a #coffeeadventure today. I've got a jug of cold brew coffee in the fridge. I'm gonna heat up a cup and add some white chocolate caramel cappuccino powder and some oat milk. It's gonna be awesome.

I'm feeling kinda down. My head feels like it's full of cotton. I'm trying to enjoy some music. I'm listening to fairy grunge. It's... interesting.

My back feels ok right now and my hips don't hurt. I don't know how long it'll last.

Update: as soon as I posted this, I started to get a migraine. Fun times.
