 Today has hit like a very very slow truck. Like slowly. Inching over you. And crushing you beneath its weight.

Nausea. Ill. Tired. All round yuck.

I gritted my teeth and took the girls out for a walk however. Gotta say, the walk was hard. Not enjoyable. It was a thing. Do it. Do it. Come on. The girls loved it. Splashing around. Running around. All the smells. Jumping on me.

A good thing.

Hazel was thankful that I got Poppy out for the walk. How you doing she said. I grimaced. A hard walk. You should have left it she said. Eh, pfft. I dropped Poppy off back at hers and went home.

So yeah. Today. Big oof.

Two things.

Last night I decided to treat myself to something to eat. A burrito. I love burritos. But I have sworn off them for sometime now because of the Hidden Spice.

But eh. How bad can it be. Had a lovely burrito. Whilst eating it, somewhere near the bottom, ooh thats spicy.

Oh no. Was that a Jalapeno ?

Ah. Pfft. Delicious.

I told Dan I treated myself to something nice to eat.

Something that's going to make you ill he said ?

Ehhhhhh maybbbeeee. No. Probably not.

Well, just remember that when you suffer for the next 4 days he said.

And I thought no more of it.

This morning, drinking my tea, holy crap it made me feel ill. Oh. The nausea is back. It's been a while. Just one of those things.

Oh. Wait. Shit. We talked about this last night. Almost as if it were predictable.

So. It could be a coincidence. Occams razor says no. It was something I ate. Something spicy. Probably a jalapeno.

Apparently jalapenos are now officially no bueno for me. Having sworn off them on high suspicion that they were bad for me, I think the jury has hammered the final nail in the coffin.

So today. I have lost all energy and all semblance of being able to do anything.

The allergies also kicked in hard this morning and gave me a nice dose of Not Enough Sleep too.

So. Today is a shit show. But one that has slowly, subtly, got steadily worse. 

Ho hum.

It remains to be seen just how long this wobble lasts. Take notes !

Meh.

The second thing, is I haven't had a swim this week. Swim lacking. The longest I haven't been in the pool since... June ?

So. That's also a thing.

Not to worry ! Positive face on ! Its explainable. Fixable. Just ride out the current storm. No. Problem.

 Anxiety is still riding very high. It's sketching me into weird corners and avoidances. Don't like being out of my bedroom. Don't like being away from my bed. Everything is a tangible holding of breath until I can go back to bed. Very sketchy. I am doing something to try not to give into the rampant mini phobias popping up, but, I'm also giving in at times and just retreating to my hole. And sleeping. Today I dropped off my overnight blood ox monitor. I did a bunch of "anti" things that I reckoned would trigger more the worse end of my sleeping spectrum, and it kinda worked. I woke up at 4am groggy and out of it. I dozedly checked my blood ox. 97%. Perhaps it means nothing. Perhaps it means it's not blood oxygen and sleep apnea. I went back to sleep. Anxiety smothering me I went out to drop off the monitor. Outwardly. I just did it. Inwardly, screaming, don't go out, don't go out, I don't want to go out. A sense of dread. A sick feeling. Awful...

 Athenas back left leg is limp. Lifeless. Just. Gone. Her right one is only vaguely there, still trying to walk a bit at times. But. No strength. Folded. We have got her up a few times today, to drink, pee, poo. She has got accustomed to being carted around in a sling, her front legs still working. She still looks up. Wants to know what you're eating. She is, as she ever has been, still Athena. Still interested. Still awake. And tomorrow at 11am I take her to put her to sleep. Her legs are gone. Not just an overdid it. They are gone. I do not know or understand how they suddenly went from fine to not fine in 15 minutes. But it has happened. And they show no signs of reversing. Today I made the stupidly hard and fucked up and awful decision to put her to sleep tomorrow. I have crucified myself over it. Today ? Tomorrow ? Monday ? Next week ? Tomorrow. There is no hope. She will not recover. And I will have to snuff out her good life, her beautiful soul, full of curiousity and confid...

 Wake up at 8.20AM with the sound of next door replacing their bathroom. I cannot begin to describe how deathly awful I feel. Shit scraped from the bottom of the barrel. I check the laptop. Set it up for work. And then collapse back to sleep. I worked for some hours last night. I felt a little better, so, I worked. Midday. Awake again. I come out of a horrible horrible place. Everything aches. My eyes are sealed shut with gunk. A wincing pain somewhere around my stomach like a squeeze accompanies my waking. I often get this now. I feel utterly terrible. I have run out of options and coping strategies. So Trump wins with a fairly convincing win. What's the message ? America really hates women presidents ? If nothing else it's clear a large part of the US is fine with all that Trump represents. It was always going to be this way, if not now then soon. The rump of the US is morally bankrupt, happy to occupy a devoid of principles space, large on religious bigotry and hate. The US ...
