Who is getting bored of my downer posts? *raises hand* I AM! Hopefully they are almost done for. We’re working hard for positivity over here, and I hope you can hear/see it soon!
I drove to Dollarama this morning to pick up a few things for the day. Some cleaning supplies, as well as a toy for each kid, as they all need pick me ups, and we rarely buy them toys or things like that when we’re out running errands. It was set up to be just a nice quick outing for myself, but it was set off by a serious of embarrassing dizzy spells that I could have done without. I will say that I was in control of the situation, as much as one can be. I didn’t wait to faint, but when I got super duper dizzy and was seeing black, I sat down, got myself together, before getting up and moving on again. Thoroughly embarrassing to sit down in the middle of an aisle, and then again right by the cashier, and then right outside the doors, but it was either that or fall flat on my face. I got everything in order and waited before driving home, but while laying in my van, trying to get blood where it needed to go, I was kind of sad as I realized that not one person offered to help me or asked if I was ok, even. I assure you, I was NOT doing this for attention. Not for a second. But it was weird that no one asked :/ C’mon, people. Help your fellow man when he falls. It may look like sitting down, but it might be a very gentle fall.
I made it home safe and spent a bit of time with the family before the kids napped and Brady and I rested up. We had a pretty anxious night, so we were feeling ragged and needed the rest. We got the kids up and headed out for a scheduled outing at 2:30. When we made it back from that, we gave the kids their toys, and I sat downstairs with them and we watched Paw Patrol while Brady did a bunch of cleaning that, unfortunately, I am not able to help with :/ He was a great sport about it, though, and did it happily while I dozed in and out of sleep, surrounded by my three kids whom I love more than life. This sickness has been a beast. I have never ever been this tired in my entire life.
We had a bit of a later supper before tucking the kids into bed. Now, Brady is making supper for us while I do this, and then most likely doze some more until its ready. I want to be stronger than this tomorrow, so we can actually go to church for the first time in a LONG time, and spend some time with my parents again. Its been a long time coming, and we don’t want to miss them again!!
Please don’t stop praying for us! We need a reprieve. Getting desperate over here.
Do you have really low blood pressure? Cuz I know dizziness and lightheadedness and being short of breath can happen often if you have low blood pressure.
Yes, that is often the culprit for me, and likely was today as well. I had taken off to run errands very early that morning and had missed the boat on breakfast :/ So completely my own fault, unfortunately.
