Tired of feeling tired
And it's only been a few days. I can only imagine how tired Susie and Dawn are of being tired!
I usually do a little laundry every weekday. There are four loads worth of laundry sitting in baskets unfolded since last week. Leo washed dishes last night; I won't say how long they sat there before he did. All our "new" floors (kitchen, bathroom, living room, and dining room) seriously needed swept several days ago. Audrey does go around with the Dustbuster for me and picks up the biggest piles of crumbs. But with all the toys on the living room floor, it's hard to find them all.
Just now, I spent 10 minutes clearing off the dining room table. It had mail, artwork, a broken toy (that I fixed), books, and other miscellaneous stuff on it that we've been eating around for a couple of days. I cleared it. I did not wipe it. That will have to wait for when I have another 5 minutes of energy in me again.
Leo has been cooking the last few days. He has been known to be a good cook, but lately...well, at least he made sure the kids were fed. I want to cook my own recipes again, though! (And FYI, he doesn't cook from recipes, let alone attempt anything American. So forget asking him to cook something of mine for me.)
I know what all needs to be done. I'm impatient because I WANT to do it. Just don't have the energy.
I may be able to go wipe the table now. Hang on...
Did it. The table looks good. UNDER the table, however...
So yeah, I went to my internist yesterday. My excuse for not telling him off the way he deserved is that I had to bring the kids with me. Yeah...that's it. He knew I was not happy, but all I said about switching doctors is that we would be moving soon, so I was planning on finding someone new.
He also tried to say I wasn't THAT hyperthyroid. Well, great, buddy, maybe the numbers say that, but live in this body for a day and then tell me how well I am.
I was worried about the baby for a while, because miscarriage with hyper is a risk, as it is with hypo. But I am still feeling movement, so I guess all is well. I have been tempted to get an ultrasound, but I don't know what it would tell me that I could do anything about. I have an appointment with my midwife on Monday; I'll ask her then.
The doctor said I should be feeling better within about three days of switching to a lower dose. Well, guess what? I haven't even TAKEN any medicine for three days now, and I still feel lousy.

I'm just leaving you a note in response to your request for assistance with #16 in the code breaker puzzle.
You have the correct symbols (CHOK). Amazingly these letters unscrambled to spell an english term for a german wine!
Who Knew?
Hey, thanks for finding me here! German wine...of COURSE, why didn't I think of that??? (rolling my eyes) :)
Hey, wiping the table is an accomplishment. When your body says 'stop', you just have to.
Its great that Leo is helping so much, give him a big hug from me for making things easier on you.
That doctor? Well, I dont want to use that language on your site. ;-)
Sorry things are so tough. I have learned so much about docs recently. Like therapists, there are many more bad ones than good ones. High five on wiping the table. It IS an achievement. Your biggest, most important jobs are growing that baby, and enjoying her sisters. Everything else pales in comparison.
How are you feeling today? How was the midwife? Don't push yourself when you are that tired. Forget about the mess. It will still be there no matter what, right? Take a nap! Look out the window! Snuggle on the couch!
I hope you are feeling better.
