No Juice Today

Thanks to yesterday! I have no energy to carry out Sunday. Haha.

What was your plan?

The Plan

I messaged my best bud yesterday. I told her I plan to go face to face service finally supposedly today. Then go shopping a bit after since I am already out. I was going to ask her if she would like to meet up after and catch up on some stuff. Then I realized I have a support work around midnight so that plan will depend on whether I get to wake up early enough to prepare. Even then, I still had that hope in my heart that I just might be able to wake up early.

The Reality

What happened with the plan? It got foiled. I normally would be throwing things in frustration (not true I'm a very harmless, non-violent creature except for what I allow myself to do inside my head - thoughts I mean) but I do have an acceptable reason for not being able to carry that one out.

I stayed indoors today. Mostly in my room. Outside only to eat. Outside now because it was no longer as hot as a while ago.

What Happened

You see, there are plans that push through, and plans that get foiled.

How do you react when your plans don't pan out as you want it to be?

I am a type A person. So if there is a plan, it has to happen or I am going to be hard on myself. But this time, it is different. i've learned a long time ago that some plans will not push through and that is fine.

Mine got foiled not because the plan had holes in it but because I have to let it go for a far more important thing - rest.

Not that I am not getting enough rest for this weekend. Sometimes, our body says, "rest some more" in a very odd way.

I was having sumptuous dinner of something breaded and Japanese. That was an awesome dinner. I had to put aside the Kani Salad, though, because it tasted too salty for me.

Just before my last two spoonfuls of my dinner my sneeze fest started. I am not sure if it is something I ate or because the weather suddenly became hot but something triggered my rhinitis. And it was not stopping. Normally, it stops after some time but this one planned to stay on so I prepared my antihistamine and planned to take it after the support so as not to feel groggy and be able to communicate properly to client and teammates. But the non-stop sneezes and the runny nose made me decide to take the antihistamine. And i just need to battle through sleepiness which will be far easier than the runny nose and the sneezes. The sneeze fest alone is tiring. The runny nose is annoying.

But something else happened. You know how sneezing a lot can really cause some shake in your inner ear, right? So does blowing your nose. So my sneezes comes with the need to blow my nose after or even sometimes stick a tissue there for a while. I suddenly felt different. After looking down on my phone to check on something and re gaining my proper position of looking forward, the earth slowly swayed. I know what that is a sign of - a vertigo is coming.

Moments later, cold sweat started to come out from my neck. I was sweating even though I had the fan steadily blowing in my direction. I had to look for my vertigo meds which is supposed to be in my main stash. My top must-brings:

• Antacid

• Antihistamine

• Betahistine

To my frustration it was not there. I had to ring up my brother to help me get one though it is already late. Thankfully, my brother is a night owl as well.

I was maintaining that head position where I won't feel the world spinning. I told my colleague about it and told him I can't even dare to take a short nap while waiting for our time to execute what we need to execute for fear that when I wake up, the world might spin uncontrollably.

The med I bought came and I was able to pull enough strength to muster meeting up with the delivery, pay and take the med. That was a double-dose of knock out : antihistamine and the betahistine. So while I was doing my support work I was struggling to keep my eyes opened. After sending out the report, I placed my laptop back on the table and made sure I have the proper position in bed and slept through fine around 2am.

Woke up at 7am still groggy and seconds later was dozing off again. i remember thinking of breakfast that time. Next wake up time was 12pm in time for lunch. I have to eat something even though I am not up to it. I was still sweating cold that time.

I was able to move around with no incident or head position where the world starts spinning. Thank God. But even after that sleep, my body is still worn out. So it was a forced rest day for me.

I still feel tired. Which is mostly the case for when my vertigo attacks. But definitely better than when those sneezes started. I think that was the trigger there.

How was your Sunday?
