Thanks ma'am ;_;

 

No update today, I'll have to squeeze 'em together later because it really has been a dumpster fire around here.

 

Mom had her angiogram and they found stenosis in 3 limbs, and her Real Blood Pressure (because what's read in the other limbs is deceptively low) is actually like 200/80 and they didn't want her to leave. She refused to stay. So. There's that. People are checking on her regularly.

 

I'm so behind at work I feel like I can't be successful at anything because when I finally get to shit it's been so long since I last looked at it because I was looking at 50 other things meanwhile. I always feel like I'm flying by the seat of my pants and it's just a matter of time before I make some horrifying mistake.

 

I'm still covered in spots. Benadryl didn't really help beyond making it slightly less red. Niece says she had something like it not long ago and it turned out to be a fungus so, one more go with the home remedies before I guess calling a doc. Meanwhile, trying to say that to Mr Ix and he mansplains fuckin' jock itch to me like ... well anyway

 

I also got my car keys stuck in the locker room and had to call security and 

 

well I need a nap. updates, logging, and averages can wait. Wednesdays food log is demolished, I can't remember at all.

Take that, guys who think you know nothing. Congrats~

6/17

 

Okay here i am we can do this guys

 

 

 

Food things:

 

1292/1564 avg

6/1 111.2 lbs

6/17 112.4 lbs <-- clearly a sodium blip and from drinking too much, it's been averaging more like 110

 

Gym things:

5/12

 

I went on Thurs & Fri. Gym sessions have been a trash fire but I don't feel like that's a surprise given Life. The highlights are that Thurs I did a 3x5 at 80 lbs on the bench and Fri I did a 3x5 at 110 lbs on sumo. My back is less happy with me lately, but not outright angry.

 

Clean things:

I have successfully done this all the days 

16/30

 

Relax:

I don't remember really, but probably not. I have OVER relaxed this weekend and drank way way way too much. I went to one friend's to celebrate her and her guy's new job offers at my job and also my promotion and we played Redneck Life and I won by a lot, probably spending most of the rest of my luck for all time on that game somehow (ended with a full set of teeth and many thousands of pretend money). Then yesterday I went to a friend's birthday party and somehow ended up throwing bits of melon at the birthday boy (I guess I revert to age 6 when drunk) and there was funtimes jam session singing with friends. I was definitely obnoxious

 

Hopefully tomorrow's workout is less trash fire-like

 

 

More SVRCINA <3

well done on the promotion! i have those weekends where i feel like i drink way too much and didn't prioritize sleep and probably definitely embarrassed myself but also your body and brain were probably glad for the life break. and 10/10 i bet your friends still want to hang out with your melon-throwing self  

[shaar]

True, I'm sure I could have chosen worse objects in that house to hurl at people

melon is at least edible

if you catch it just right

6/18

 

A wild Monday appears

 

 

 

Food things:

 

1390/1554 avg

6/1 111.2 lbs

6/17 112.4 lbs <-- clearly a sodium blip and from drinking too much, it's been averaging more like 110

 

Gym things:

6/12

 

Was supposed to be another 3x5 at 105 lb squats (the program i'm using rounds into 5's and I guess both this and last week rounded to 105, whatever), but it was a strong morning so I plopped an extra 5 on the bar for a 3x5 at 110 lbs instead.

 

The prowler was hiding behind the car deadlift frame thing and so I did lunges and RDLs and a machine leg circuit instead. 

 

Clean things:

Elliptical, and I'll probs put away some laundry in a minute while singing loudly in my empty house :3

17/30

 

Relax:

My coworker was very distracted today and kept talking to me so in theory that was like a forced break

agile environments have drawbacks

 

This is gross so spoiler hidden:

Spoiler

I THINK I am covered in ringworm. Probably. I have a derm appt but they couldn't get me in for over a week and I am so embarrassing and gross and I cannot even stand it I just want to climb out of my skin 

 

it's not really all that itchy, just THERE and all over the place. How is there so much????????

 

 

This spoiler tag is the music, if you're inclined

Spoiler

What about an OTC med while you wait for the derm appointment? An over-the-counter anitfungal cream isn't going to hurt you if you try it before the appointment.

 

If it's real real bad, emergency room or urgent care? My urgent care co-pay is $25. I'd throw out 25 cash to get some meds sooner if it was bad enough.

 

I sort of understand the feels. When I had chickenpox/shingles a few years ago I felt like I had the plague. Especially since with that virus you are contagious you aren't supposed to leave your house. So I was on anti-virals AND house arrest. (the virus can cause horrible problems in people with compromised immune systems like mine)

[CourtnieMarie]

haha i was expecting something actually gross. i'm sorry you're going through this but it's totally normal!

^^ yup. SO went through this just a few months ago actually. she had ringworm AND psorasis at the same time. the PCP was able to diagnose and prescribe stuff so maybe see if you can get in there earlier. but keep the derm appt as it'll be good to have a specialist look at it.

[ixaera]

I'm covered in lotrimin ultra which actually smells kind of nice and has been helping just not quite enough!

6/19

 

When you work like 9 hours but it wasn't enough

Today was an early work day so nope

 

Clean things:

Elliptical

18/30

 

Relax:

No, and in fact technically I worked at a red light today which is a first for me? 

 

The thing looks a bit better but not great still. The bit on my arms is nearly gone, but the tummy stuff is still gnarly. Yesterday I had swapped out the regular OTC stuff for the "prescription strength ULTRA" stuff after work since I ran out and it seems to be doing a better job. I have a PCP appointment Thursday so I may cancel the derm depending on what they do. My PCP isn't great and I've been wanting to change and haven't yet, so if I feel like they're being dumb I'll still go to the derm. I miss my old PCP. That guy could diagnose anything and had been my doc since I was 16. Was there when dad died. Too bad he's like 1.5 hours away!

Doctors, the biggest disappointment since dating. A shame your favorite PCP is so far away. Hope you ditch your clingy posse soon.

I'm seeing the same NP that didn't adjust my thyroid meds even though I'm clinical high on TSH, and didn't run a full thyroid panel, too. I really need to hop on that getting a new PCP thing.

 

The stuff is working so slowly that I can vaguely tell daily that it seems like it might be better, but any time I sweat or am a bit warm, it goes bright red again, and I'm pretty sure I have a new spot on my neck, and only two spots have gone actually away, but were then replaced by more spots I think maybe. it's not good.

I don't know even how this happens.

Maybe it's not what I think it is even

but

please

make

it

stop

Crazy thought but maybe baby powder would help?? If moisture pisses it off then maybe it needs a drying agent?

[ixaera]

No update due to sheer lack of time but I did get to the doc today and

 

It is hives.

 

Not fungus. "Fungus does not do that" they assure me

then pointed to many reasons why it was hives, suggested I think about what changed to find a trigger

 

Well, the week it started, 3 things:
shark week

on call at work 

ran out of vitamins

 

So probably a stress trigger exacerbated by worse eating and running out of vits? Maybe. We'll see. I got prednisone. 

 

We can science the shit out of this

yikes! I don't know, that seems like a lot of hives for just a stress reaction? Is it improving? I.e. are you no longer exposed to the trigger? It may be too hard to figure out what the trigger was unless it happens again.

 

good news for no fungus though?

[Jord]

p.s. is it worth getting a second opinion from the derm? or do you feel confident in their assessment? doctors are no infallable either.
