AM- awake at 6:30am (PST) after a full 8 hours of sleep. Outside is partial sun, 36 (F)degrees feels like 28. All the autoimmune reactions in my body are ON this week. Yesterday, I added sneezing with allergies to the top. Took a tiny dose of prednisone to tamp it all down. This morning I am still sneezing, so I may need more…something just to function.🤧🥴😵‍💫

AM- Oh, happy day, we jumped forward for Daylight Savings Time. Ugh. Every year, it gets harder to tolerate the time change. I woke up at “the new” 7am (PDT), still feeling short of sleep, even tho I *did* actually get 8 hours. Again, Ugh. 🫣
Outside, is cloudy, 41 (F)degrees feels like 37, with MEDium pollen🤧

AM- awake before 6:30am (PDT). No weird death dreams, thank the gawds. However, this does mark the 7the year since my second brother died by his own hand when he could no longer tolerate his early onset Parkinson’s. I miss him the most. The Ides of March ala Julius Caesar😓. Outside, is cold, clear, 31 (F)degrees feels like 25, with MED-HIGH pollen.🤧

Like all the training I’ve been doing is snapping into his brain as “oh, I guess other people expect me to behave also.” The lesson I get from this is similar to having my kid in daycare was: socialization in different situations adds context.🥳

After a few mins, he walked on it and I didn’t see a limp but I kept the running to the upper yard, and we just made a slow and short walk after that🥴

AM- awake about 6:30am (PDT) after staying up too late last night. The last two nights I watched the 2-part BBC version of Crime and Punishment. It followed the book really well. However, if I had not actually read the book, there would be a lot of unknown and unspoken thoughts about which I would need to guess. In the book, it is not as much dialog as it is explanatory thoughts, particularly by the main character. But, all of the details, people, occurrences are the same and in the right places. The end is the same.🥳
Outside, this morning, I see blue skies with haze, 33 (F)degrees feels like 29, and HIGH pollen🤧🤧

AM- Canoe woke me up twice in the night to do….nothing that I could tell other than going to the fence to look…for husb, maybe? He was pacing from his bed to the hall gate and nose in my face that was not assuaged, so I thought barf or poop was imminent. But, no.😵‍💫So, I slept in to nearly 7:30am (PDT). Outside it is sunny with scattered high clouds, 51 (F)degrees with HIGH pollen🤧🤧

AM- Canoe woke me up an hour after we’d both gone to sleep with pacing and shaking his head. Husb and I decided after the night before that that was an anxiety response, prolly due to husb “disappearing” on Mon without Canoe seeing him leave. So, I had given him CBD earlier in the evening to ward that off. Wound up giving some additional at the later hour, so he could calm down to sleep. It worked, and he did, and so did I, thank the gawds.🥳
But, now it’s after 7am, I’m still tired, it’s windy, with high clouds, 56 (F) degrees and HIGH pollen🤧🤧🤧
