{pain} my head… full of snot, sheesh. Solid 3 today. {sleep} 8h 14m • I’m sleeping well, but I need it… I realized one of the reasons I’m not breathing well, or getting enough oxygen, is because I have such low iron in my blood! I scheduled my first iron infusion for next week – not knowing when the funeral(s) will be scheduled.
Have you ever seen the movie Drop Dead Fred? It is one of my favourites, specifically a favourite Phoebe Cates movie. The idea that imaginary friends are real, they help kids deal with reality, and if you suppress that creativity you become something unintended… there’s more, but I have not seen it in years.
One of my main goals as a parent was to make certain that Roegn didn’t have to grow up as quickly as I did, or as I was forced to by circumstance. She never had an imaginary friend, but she did have an excellent imagination. I was reminded of this movie by my search for artwork for this post. Fred called Phoebe Cates’ character ‘Snot Face’ & I searched for ‘snot’ -> as that is what I am consumed with at the moment.
The days are going by & it feels like there’s too much inside my skull; my vision feels blurry sometimes, giving me a headache. It is already spring here in Illinois, as we didn’t have a real winter. I desperately fear the allergy season that is to come. As someone that suffers asthma that is exacerbated by allergies, I despise the spring & fall for one very big reason – I enjoy breathing. During springtime, allergies cause more mucus in my lungs, making it more difficult to breathe, etc. And of course, don’t get me started on harvest.
I’m going to go breathe & attempt to do what I need to do without passing out. Happy Caturday, friends.
