Happy Friday!
Today was a chill day. I worked from home all day, getting things wrapped up for the end of the year. I'm working from home on Monday as well, and then I have Tuesday off for New Year's Day. I am really grateful for the opportunity I have to work from home. It's nice to be able to wake up and go to work still in my pajamas.
Early this morning, Arthur's fish came in the mail. He purchased them on Wednesday and they overnighted them yesterday to arrive today. He was really excited to put them in his tank. That was most of his big present from me, fish. He got a gift card to SaltwaterFish.com and some money to buy fish at the fish store. He seemed to really like that. :)
Arthur's family is coming over tonight to play some games. We spent a few hours this afternoon cleaning up the house since it was still messy from Christmas. I was really struggling with nausea and a headache, but I was able to get at least one load of dishes in and I was able to clean the bathroom. After that, I took a shower and had a nap. Even the smallest tasks take everything out of me.
I'm excited that the house is clean for the weekend, though. That means that Arthur and I can spend some time together. We've been really separated this past week since I've been so sick and needed to sleep a lot. I don't think we've done something fun outside of the house since a few weeks before Christmas. I haven't even felt like leaving the house since before Christmas either. I'm really looking forward to feeling more normal.
How far along: 12 Weeks, 1 Day
How much time left: 27 Weeks, 6 days
Top two symptoms: Nausea and Exhaustion. A headache too. My nausea didn't get bad until this evening. It seems to get bad now whenever I exert any physical energy. Going up and down the stairs, bending over, showering... all of that stuff makes my nausea go crazy. Loading the dishwasher this afternoon prompted my only throw up for the day. At least my stomach was empty. :)
Favorite thing I ate today: I didn't find much pleasure in food today. I think the best thing I ate was hashbrowns that Arthur made for breakfast. They were really good.
Mood: Today, I felt pretty normal until I had to start getting up and getting moving. The dishwasher made me feel like I was dying. Mostly because of the back and forth, up and down motions, combined with the smells. My mood went downhill at that point.
Worried about: The thought of making myself presentable to go outside and interact with the general public. Being around anyone but Arthur and my immediate family makes me feel really scared. I'm not very pleasant, and I'm mostly grumpy. I don't want to be short with someone who is trying to be nice to me. I worry about that now that my emotions seem to be out of control.
Excited for: Starting to feel normal, eventually.
