I am tired today. And my cough is returning. It feels more like an anxious cough, like I mentioned last night. I am going to explore the connection between COPD and GERD. My daughter astutely observed that when I spent too much time focused on the news, Facebook, and playing Words with Friends, I cough more. I think she's right. I can almost feel my stomach acid boiling.
Last night, after walking with my new conspiracy theory friend, I felt really good. We had such a nice conversation. And, even though it was risky walking at night with a stranger (I left him off over a block from home and went the other way, in case you were wondering!), the conversation left me exhilerated.
I went home and looked up some of the books he recommended. I should have just stretched, drank herbal tea and gone to bed. But I was wide awake. I went on Facebook and checked into my groups that were followed the Mariah Kay Woods story. That was my first mistake. It does warm my heart that thousands of people, mostly mothers of young children are praying and very concerned about this girls situation. But some of the comments I read were people who were intrigued by the story as if it were an episode of "Criminal Minds". Now, I admit I did used to enjoy that program. But it started giving me nightmares.
And this is not a television series. It is a really life. A little 3 year old girl. My heart started pounding. I could feel the acid rising from my stomach.
I coughed and wheezed until the wee hours of the morning.
I mentioned this to my daughter. She sternly recommended I take a breather from Facebook, Words with Friends and the News for at least 24 hours and see if that effects my cough.
I will try!
I am hereby fasting from social media for the next 24 hours. Aaack! That scares me! Which tells me I must do it!
I am also going to pick up some antacids after I finish this blog. I have a full load of students to teach and I am heading to Vancouver to spend the night in my daughter's trailer. I have Baby Gracie duty tomorrow! I can't wait! It's been 3 whole days since I've seen her.
My arms are aching to hold her.
I am still praying for Mariah Kay Woods. For her and her whole family. And all the people who are worried about her. I hope this is resolved soon. I read from several other women that they have insomnia, are crying, depressed and they are having stomach pain.
Sound familiar?
But I am doing no good to anyone worrying myself sick. So I am going to attempt to fast from social media. I might keep up Words with Friends. It's a nice way to kill time while waiting for the bus.
Speaking of which, I have one to catch!
Happy Thursday!
Talk to you tomorrow!
Love,
Zita
P.S. Here is an example of how I am eating this week. Lots of veggies, fruits, rice, water and tea. This is a picture of my lunch at "Best Buffet". It is a cheap $7.50 buffet lunch. Not the finest quality, but I was able to put together a decent healthy lunch for under $8.00. I'm happy!
P.P.S. Today is day 165 of my daily hooping adventure. Here is the video:
