 Not so enamored with the sedation they gave me.  Obviously I needed it, but it's taken over two days to get out of my system and I have been fairly useless till now.

It's a nice day, here.  18C right now.  That's pretty hot considering what it was a few days ago.  I had hoped to get out to do some shopping and run some errands--maybe tomorrow.  Nothing urgent, still I'd like to get it over with.  

I'm finishing up season three on Six Feet Under today.  I've got batter to mix and supper to fix and I need to decide what I'm wearing to church on Sabbath.  I mean I think I know, but we'll see.

Has anyone done the Dressing Your Truth thingie?  I'd really love to do it, but I'm having such a hard time finding my type.  I'm drawn to type one colors, but they say I'm a type two.  I think type two was imposed on me as a child.  I think I'm naturally more gregarious than I was allowed to be.  I have no trouble speaking to strangers, I just don't want to all the time.  That's why I carry a book!  LOL!  Anyway, I'd love to have a buddy to do it with.  Oh, and if you're interested, you can get the book for Kindle free right now.  I did.  I love free stuff!

Okay, I'm going to go do a little house work then reward myself with another episode of SFU.

Toodles!

Wow-- still feeling the effects two days later is not good. It may have been a bit much for your system, at least the amount of it you got.

What are you about to bake with the batter? Unless I'm confused, because I thought the cookies were last weekend. A different project?

[murielle]

The CFS makes me ridiculously sensitive to medication of any kind. And I never know how I'm going to react to anything until I do.

Ah, hadn't realized I'd talked about it before. Yeah, same old cookies. I will make them, I will make them, I will make them. ;-)

[wendelah1]

Nah. I don't need a quiz because my insides and outsides are already in perfect alignment. ;) (See icon)

[murielle]

You're lucky! I'm always trying to figure "me" out. LOL!

[bleodswean]

Oooh, sorry to hear you're feeling "off," M! It will pass. Rest.

I'm always thinking about my wardrobe. It tends to be either black or jeans and a t-shirt! I doubt it's very much to my age...I wonder if I should update it.

[murielle]

My problem is I'd love to actually build a wardrobe by with my weight issues I'm still basing choices on what fits and not really what makes me feel energized and pretty. This system is more based on one's energy and energy-style.

"Off" is a good term for it, E!

Okay, back to baking. The first batch of cookies...well, let's just say, working with a new oven is a revelation. ;-)

working with a new oven is a revelation

LOL! Had a similar experience last winter when I realized that one of my ovens was not heating up nor properly! Switched to the oven I never use because it's right next to the fridge and omgosh! THAT'S how things are supposed to cook!

I guess they have elements that burn out. I've never lived in a place long enough to learn that.

Good luck with your cookie goals!

I'm so sorry you feel terribly after the sedation! I know they don't put people under full hospital-strength anesthesia for those procedures (I've had about 15 now), but between the Versed and that specific partial anesthetic (which has a name I cannot recall), I often feel pretty drained for about 3-4. Between CFIDS, Fibro, Lupus, MS, and cancer, though - that's probably why. So maybe your immune system is just not doing what it should? I'm sorry, though. I know it is frustrating to feel off-kilter like that. And it's not YOU - you aren't useless. The meds rendered you inoperable for a period of time. I'm glad you're able to rest, though, and hope you regain some energy for the lovely weather soon!

I don't know what Dressing Your Truth is, honestly! Is it like one of those "this would look best for your body" type things? Or is it that your clothing speaks to your personality type? I honestly often find myself in three colors: black, red, and/or grey. It's rare for me to wear anything else. I like to stand out (hence the red), but I like the drama of black. And grey is a good in-between that can work with either color, depending on if it's a cool or warm grey. I look better in warmer tones, though I have a penchant for wearing bright red dresses!

I seriously hope you feel better. <3

Ah! Yes, the CFS/ME/CFIDS and FM do a total number on my meds. My immune system isn't what it should be, though with the isolation I experience because of the conditions I don't catch much.

I used to wear a lot of black. I still have a lot in my wardrobe (such as it is) it's a great tool, for sure. And I love red. It makes my eyes look really blue! Which is kind of cool as my eyes are more teal than blue these days. Grey is a great colour. I have a bit of grey in the mix, too. Black can be harsh, especially on me in my mid-sixties, so grey is softer and yet still a sombre choice.

I am feeling better. How are you doing? I didn't realize you had CFDS and FM, too. Something else we have in common. ((Hugs))

[bsgsix]

For all the wonderful things we have in common, I WISH we didn't have to share CFIDS/FM! They both make life so... sluggish and painful. My immune system is terrible, anyhow, and those do not help! So I'm sorry you have to deal as well. I'm certain that's why the anesthesia is lingering (unless they didn't dose correctly, but I know it takes me a LONG time to clear even minor anesthetics).

But I am glad you are feeling better. And I'm doing well - healing from the gallbladder surgery (only a little lingering pain and some bruising, which isn't abnormal, and I see my surgeon Tuesday for my follow-up), and my thyroid numbers have gone from 248 (coma state) to 9! Normal is 1, but 9 instead of 248? My new endocrinologist and oncologist (she does both) is amazing! I'm so thrilled to have regained some of the energy my cancer stripped away!

I really am a fan of wearing black, but usually that is when I do my makeup - I think it can balance the harshness of it. But it's still a go-to. Same with red: I tend not to wear red without makeup, because my face is often a bit red from Lupus flares or their lovely side effect of "butterfly rashes," and red shirts with a red face? Nah, not for me. ;) But if red makes your eyes look blue or teal, that is awesome! I've always envied naturally blue eyes. My entire family, short of my terrible birth father, has blue eyes (including my husband and son)! I have hazel eyes that are more green, so red doesn't enhance them the same way. :) Grey is an absolute go-to for me, makeup or not - most of my sweatshirts for running errands are grey. It's such a great color to tone down the harshness of black, or just to wear alone! It's serious, but with the right accessories, there are ways to make it fun (I've worn grey tank tops with black fake-leather pants, and that's been a hit, so I think it's all in how you want to pair it)!

I ramble, lol. Hope you are having a great day. *hugs*

OMGoodness. That's not good for the drug to stay in your system. You need to inform your primary- so they won't use it again or cut doseage.

I'd love to do Dressing Your Truth! Just let me know! I have to laugh- many who have commented are from Idol! Or all of us! Hope your in fine fettle! 🌼🌈✌🐭🌻

It's the ME/CFS it messes with my medications all the time. Nothing is the way it's supposed to be because of it. But I will mention it to my doc when I see her. Thanks. ;-)

Do you have the book? You can d/l it free from Amazon for kindle--I hope the deal is still there. I'd love a DYT buddy! :-) <3 <3 <3

[uselesstinrelic]

I'm reading my read page backwards so I'm finding out you're trying to get over sedation before I know why you had it! Anyway, I do hope you feel better. Feeling useless sucks. It's not like you really get to enjoy lazing around- that should feel like a choice!

I haven'e even heard of Dressing Your Truth, but I looked it up after I read your post. Looks fun! I can never tell how I like to dress. Do I do ALL the colors? Or just brown? I love muted and earthy things and then other times I want to look like you threw me in a pot of kid paints!

Take, for instance, something I wore last week XD https://www.instagram.com/p/BxYEIUHlVJl/

So what's type one and type two? The differences? I say go with whatever one you feel drawn to! Some advice or direction is great, but you shouldn't feel like you can't do something just cause it wasn't 'the right one'. I think that the best way to look good in anything is to be confident and work it.
