Crap the triggers

I'm sitting in the bathroom keeping cool and calm. I had a wet wash cloth on my chest then on my back. Try as I might I could not rest while laying in bed tonight. 

I took the dog out for a short walk. We went two houses down, in the dark, alone. I told the dog there would be no long walk tonight. I felt a tightening in the left  side of my chest which I recognized as anxiety. I turn the dog around and we headed home. It took me a while to feel safe. I was walking him back home saying "it's not that long a walk. I'm fine." Then I remember; my cell is in the house charging. That's ok. I know I'm not far from home. Still the left side of my chest was tighter. 

 

Now that I wrote this out my left side is looser. I feel better. It's still warm! Doc told be to get ready because there's going to be a lot of heat this weekend. I have to agree. I told doc heat us one if my triggers. I also told doc about my cycle being a trigger as well.

Well I didn't get a good night's sleep last night. Every two hours I was awakened by my family. I'm suffering the effects now. I keep closing my eyes with my finger on the phone. You won't believe who I've complained about just holding down the space bar! Oops. I'm trying to rest now. 

I've discovered the many typos from last night. Hopefully I've corrected them all by now. I will be taking a nap later today. So far I've taken half a lexapro to deal with the side effects of my cycle, bad news, and sleep deprivation.
