I waddled to the bathroom cuz OMG and my right foot was swollen so bad. It's double it's normal size. I'll be able to show my PCP today and try to figure out what to do instead of lasix. I'm gonna try to make time to go back to the hospital for binsons to get compression socks in the next 2 weeks.

I didn't have therapy yesterday cuz my appointment cut into the time. We rescheduled for today at 4pm. I didn't do any journal prompts this time but I did some last time and we didn't go over them. But I'm sure with the cardiologist appointment and my PCP appointment I'll have plenty to talk about. And I'm so burnt out. We'll be fine as far as topics to discuss.

I'm gonna have a bunch of labs done today. Prolactin levels, testosterone, CBC, and A1c at the very least. Originally this appointment was for checking my urine for cultures cuz I had a UTI but I feel better.

I'm so thirsty. My tongue burns. My mouth is dry. I'm craving coffee. Except it's 530am and I can't have coffee right now. Pauley decided to wash dishes and accidentally chipped my starbarks mug.

I'm burping up stomach acid. I ate a little bowl of GF Velveeta Mac and cheese for dinner. It was delicious but it had quite a bit of salt. It's what made my feet swell up.

Today we're gonna place an order for groceries. I already picked what I want. I'm excited about some of the stuff I ordered, like the pork carnitas and the chocolate chip banana waffles and the cod. We're gonna eat the cod Wednesday night. Ooooo and the Dino nuggies are on sale! I ordered 2 boxes! Rawrrr

I've decided I'm awake for the day. I'm having pauley make me a bottle of IQ Joe. It'll help me feel more alert and less foggy. I'll also make a cup of juice when I finish drinking the coffee.

I decided to try another new seasonal flavor. I ground down some snickerdoodle flavored coffee mixed with some blueberry truffle flavor coffee. I brewed that and it smelled so good! I mixed it with some oat milk and 1 whole squirt of sucralose. It's amazing. Not too sweet, lovely chocolate and blueberry flavor. I'm a very happy puppy.

I was stuck. I'm dealing with horrible constipation again and the only medicine that helps me is mag citrate but it tastes so sour. I was hoping to figure something out that I could benefit from. And last night I realized exactly what I needed: IQ Joe.

It's delicious, gives me focus and cognition boost, gives me energy, and keeps me regular. The only problem is it's a little expensive. A bag of 40 servings is 48 bucks. But I believe it is absolutely worth the price.

I called my mom and asked her to buy it for me and I'll pay her back on the 28th. I set up an automatic payment so I don't forget. She asked me why it's so important that I'm willing to spend that much money on coffee. I tried explaining how it makes me feel but she just didn't get it. But she said she wanted to help me.

It arrived 10 minutes ago. I haven't made any yet. I gotta put my electric kettle on. It's gonna be so yummy.

Woke up with another migraine. I took a sumatriptan, 2 aspirin, a Norco, and 3 hydroxyzine pamoate. I am hoping to feel better soon. I might try to meditate for a bit.

I'm getting groceries today from Instacart. The shopper hasn't started yet but I said I wanted it between 10am and 1pm so it's gonna come early. I ordered some really yummy food. I found GF Dino nuggies! Now Pauley and I can eat them together! I also ordered a 10 pack of sugar free starry and a few bottles of bolthouse juice so I can make sparkling juice.

I'm kinda sad about missing the cupcake crawl this weekend. But I can't push myself when I'm struggling or pauley will get upset. Next weekend I'm gonna try to do a belated Valentine's Day outing. Maybe a lunch date and bubble tea. Bubble tea is my favorite drink. It always makes me happy. I get taro and caramel. It tastes like caramel popcorn.

Today's coffee adventure was the same as yesterday. It's just so yummy. Peanut butter flavored coffee with snickerdoodle flavored coffee and 3 squirts of sucralose and topped with oat milk. It's my current favorite blend. But I've got some really good coffee still to try. I can't wait to share my adventures with you!

I've had a migraine for 4 hours. 3 hours ago I took my meds. They did not help. I feel like I'm under water. My head hurts so much. I feel wobbly. I wobbled to the couch and got snuggled up with my blankie and then pauley went to go wash dishes. I was hoping for cuddles. Maybe when she's done.

I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee. I blended snickerdoodle flavored coffee with koeze brand cream nut peanut butter flavored coffee. It's ridiculously amazing. I added 2 squirts of sucralose and some oat milk. The smell is pure peanut butter goodness. I'm very pleased. You should be jealous. But I would totally share! I'm gonna try to get pauley to try it. She tried my latte at the cafe yesterday and OMG she hated it lol. But they used espresso. Which I happen to love. Coffee is life.

Double checking rides for appointments between tomorrow and the 28th and I forgot to schedule a ride for tomorrow. I have to have 3 days minimum before an appointment to schedule a ride. So I'm gonna have to order a Lyft or an Uber. My insurance does mileage reimbursement. I don't know how much. I gotta call in the morning and find out. Fun times.

My migraine went away. But my back really hurts. I'm trying to elevate my right foot cuz it's doing a really convincing impression of a bloated toad. I'm so tired but I'm also caffeinated. I was actually thinking about making some more coffee. But I don't have any ground coffee so I can't. But maybe I can make some of the really yummy tea I got today.

Pauley made me a cup of maple apple cider flavored tea today and OMG it was really good! It's decaf, but I won't hold that against it. We can't all be perfect like me.

Tomorrow I'm gonna make a blend of snickerdoodle flavored coffee and peanut butter flavored coffee. It's gonna be awesome! I can't wait!

It's a basics kinda day. I'm feeling very down so I don't want to risk making yucky coffee. So I mixed blueberry crumble flavored coffee with gingerbread flavored coffee. Then while it was brewing I scurried back to bed. I squeaked to pauley asking her to go make it when it was done. My back is trashed. So I walked her through the process and she did it right. I'm very proud of her for stepping outside of her comfort zone. She knows it's one very easy way to show you love me. She says she wants to make me happy. #coffeeadventures I'm hoping the tilapia is thawed out for dinner tonight. I haven't cooked a real meal in a few days. I keep falling asleep very early. I feel bad cuz pauley has been eating sausage and oatmeal. So tonight I'll make a really good dinner.
