Went to the rental house to paint this morning. The handyman got some more siding pieces up so got those painted as well as the last of the ladder work on the back of the house. Just need to paint the peak of the house in the front and the main body of the house will be done.
I got too hot painting. It got a bit warmer than forecast today and by noon was 91. I was getting a bit dizzy and nauseous so came home. I went to bed and slept for over two hours. Felt better when I got up but still not back to normal. I stopped and took water breaks today but am thinking the diarrhea I had the last two days dehydrated me a bit and I am having trouble catching up. So far no diarrhea today so hoping that is behind me now and I am back on the road to recovery.
Took my first dose of the new thyroid liquid medication today. The taste is bad but not awful. It is less than a teaspoon full and I can take it with water. I would prefer a pill but am willing to do whatever it takes to get my TSH levels down. Sure hope this form of Synthroid works.
I had to go back to the rental this afternoon to put the ladder away. I didn’t have the strength to carry it back to the shed when I quit painting earlier.
Thursday the handyman is coming to this house to replace the exhaust fans in the bathrooms downstairs. I am going to talk to him about finishing the rest of the painting. I am struggling to handle this heat and the forecast is not looking good for cool days for me to paint in. I want this painting to get done one way or another and hiring it done may be my best option.
Tomorrow I need to figure out how to get the mower in my car in the morning so I can go in and get the yard mowed. We had told the renter we would mow until the house was painted as a way of compensating her for not having the outside of the house painted. The yard is way over due to be mowed and I have got to get it done tomorrow. If I get up early enough I think I can get it done before it gets too hot.
Still feeling a bit out of sorts this afternoon. It wouldn’t take much for me to fall into the muck pond. I don’t like it when my body acts like it did today. I feel old and weak. I know part of it is the thyroid thing but I am tired of that excuse. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day and a new chance to feel better.
Thursday we get our new internet. I sure trust that process will go smoothly. I haven’t notified the old company yet that I am firing them. I want to make sure the new internet is up and running first.
Jim teaches the first of three OSHER classes this afternoon starting at 5:30. He likes to have me around in case he has technical difficulties-he rarely does though.
Grateful for what painting I got done today, grateful for a long nap, and grateful I have options for the remainder of the painting.
