Complain

I don't know when I wrote this, it's been awhile: 

 For the last several days we've been down to one bandage change a day, which is lovely. Even so, I'm still exhausted (see also bad sleep, allergies,  and hormonal issues).

Day before yesterday was another shower day but I slipped it.  I skipped it because I still need help in the shower and we pushed the time back until it got to be too late and I was just too exhausted to contemplate the hour plus that it takes to shower. I ended up showing the next day though. 

My sleep schedule is flipped around.  I am exhausted all day, nap through the day, then go to bed and lay there not sleeping most of the night. I remind myself that I am still healing from major surgery, but truthfully this is not that unusual a sleep pattern for me. I am still healing though and that does contribute to the exhaustion. 

I haven't sewn anything since we came back from Florida. 

And now to jump back into the present day:

We had lunch with my mom today, pizza and salad and pie with ice cream for dessert (it's pi day and our anniversary). 

Allergies are kicking my as right now.  My eyes are constantly itchy and my sinuses feel like someone parked a bus in them. I'm not taking anything for it, of course.  I use eye drops and saline nasal rinse, but I can't stand how antihistamines make me feel, that dried out zombie feeling. Even the ones that are supposed to be non- drowsy make me drowsy. 

I'm complaining a lot, I know.
