Even When She's Cold She's Burning Like The Sun...

Well, I realized at least one major reason why I've been having so much trouble with thinking and coherency and comprehension.

I've been (at best) managing perhaps 400-600 calories a day. When I, personally, need 2380 a day to be healthy and whatnot given my weight, height and activity level. So I've basically been starving my brain, whee. But it's not like I can help it, I just can't keep food down. That's also probably why I've been feeling so lightheaded and on the verge of passing out lately. That's honestly not usually a warning sign for me, as I'm prone to fainting spells under stress and high emotion, which have pretty much been fueling me of late. Besides which, I haven't been sleeping well. But last night I was realizing how hungry I felt but how sick to my stomach I was, and I started going over how long it's been bothering me and what I've been eating. :/

But in good news: a dear friend from Phoenix is coming up here tomorrow to give a hand - especially since husband_brother might be working straight through until next weekend. And the same dear friend is going to be moving up here, which shall be wonderful! But it looks like we'll have at least three people (including myself) to run crap over to the new place. husband_brother will be handling the furniture, however. The big stuff, at least.

It's storming now, but nobody would recognize the back of the Devil Shed at this point. :D It's been stripped (almost), cleaned, sprayed, dusted, bleached and everything else I could think of to negate the fact that I've been using it as a smoking space (that regularly gets fish bowled) for two years.

Now there's a thunderstorm and I'm taking a break before I try and finish my closet. Laura San Giacomo is on TV!

I obviously missed your "we have a place" note (went back and found it). Congrats! I hope you guys like it there. I'm happy you'll be able to live together.

No worries! My good news has been so scattered and buried in all the freaking out and other stuff. :/ But we love it already! It's a beautiful place in a gorgeous neighborhood. *hugs* Thank you!

Yeah, that sounds like it might explain things. Do you know why you're having trouble eating as much as you need to, or is this something you're going to need to look into? In any case I wish you luck and I hope you feel better soon.

It's a chronic intestinal condition I've had my whole life + ulcers. I don't naturally produce enough enzymes to digest food. And it's usually under control, but with everything that's been going on I haven't had the money or time to get any of the stuff I need to treat it. (Enzyme supplements are hard to come by here and rather pricey.) I'll hopefully be back to normal by next week. *hugs*
