Certainly more than I used to when I didn't have this problem. I'm actually wondering if I'm drinking too much water and not enough electrolytes. But that doesn't make sense either given my diet. Could this be a hormonal/menopause thing? ETA: Ugh, a dry mouth booya. Why have all my booyas lately been for yucky stuff? Am I only posting yucky stuff? I don't think I am. I'm pretty sure I also post boring stuff. Edited June 13, 2023 by Wheres Toto 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I actually have started a few new medications/supplements lately so maybe I need to see if any of those can cause it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Good morning! Toto, I hope you can find a cause - that's kinda miserable! I think we have transportation figured out for the day. Ds27 and dd20 have work, ds18 has a cello lesson, and I am going to a luncheon and sewing kit assembly thing later this morning.

That was my first thought because I'm pretty sure it started the day we first had effects from the wildfires, but it's still bad and our air quality is pretty much normal now. Unless it's lingering effects that will take some time to fully clear away. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Ds made the Dean's List for the year. He actually started in January of 22, but 22-23 was his first full school year, which is evidently how his school does it.

I got up this morning to put breakfast together but started feeling super hot and sick and fainty so I went back to bed.

KrissiK Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Nobody was home this afternoon so I just laid around and read. I finished “Rules of Civility.” I am so far behind in my reading. Last year I read 44 books. This year I have only read 13 so far, but the year is almost half over. I have a chicken pot pie in the oven and watermelon cut up.

Susan in TN Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Good morning! I slept well, though woke up an hour before necessary. Oh well. Nearly 7 hours of sleep is pretty good. Ds18 is going in to a new job for paperwork and maybe work. He's not sure. He has a hard time remembering/processing that kind of information, so he'll go in and just do whatever.

Dianthus Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Dh got up before 5 because he was hot but it woke me and I can never go back to sleep. I did a real workout today, 30 min. First time in a month. My hamstring still hasn't fully recovered from January injury. I need to start getting the kids up earlier so they'll go to bed earlier so I get more sleep. It's been a vicious cycle. Finishing my last school reporting today. Dh put a white bib on dd2 last night, and we had curry for dinner.
