Strange Appetite

Last week was a roller-coaster health wise overall.
My appetite is unpredictable, my sleeping issues have been all over the place, and I have felt REALLY bored which has negatively affected my mood.

The sleep issues have been more about pain and unintentional intestinal activity. Unintentional and often uncontrollable.
Ugh.

The boredom is very obviously the fact that I want so desperately for Spring to just show up!! I want to spring-clean and I want to take my Winter coats downstairs and bring up my Spring and Summer jackets. I want to go for a bike ride and watch songbirds eating from our birdfeeder. I want to plant seeds and water flowers and spend more and more time outside being able to read and just sit there without a jacket on at all. My jean shorts are calling out to me!!
I mean, it IS gorgeous out today, and we are getting there, but it is so much easier to stay busy in the Spring and Summer without spending money... and that's the big issue: to prevent boredom without spending money, while also having mobility issues.

The appetite issue has really been bothering me. The kinds of foods that I am able to eat has expanded, which is lovely. Unfortunately, I look at everything we have to eat (which is a hell of a lot of choices), and nothing seems like it will satisfy. Furthermore, everything looks as though it will cause me pain. So I stick to Boost. And toast. And then I want more food but I don't want to eat anything. I try eating apple sauce but can't get it down.
And then I wake up in the morning with HORRIBLE breath, as though I have been vomiting all night (which I haven't, thank goodness). It is almost as though my body is reacting as if I HAVE been puking nonstop. So it prevents me from wanting to eat, gives me bad breath when I wake up, and my body feels like I was heaving for hours in regards to muscles aches.

Maybe I am just getting sick.

Okay - enough complaining. The sun is out, we may pick up a few necessary items this evening, and I am going to get dressed and spend time outside with Dex.
