I have had a touch of trouble yawning lately. I struggle a bit to get to that good, full, shudder-level of a yawn sometimes. It reminds me of when I have a cough, and it feels like the cough is about to burst out, and so can’t stop it. Though, no cough comes. It’s just that the yawn’s climax doesn’t occur. I usually have to reposition myself a touch and/or focus really hard on keeping everything in my face and throat relaxed enough not to cough or whatever instead. It’s been quite weird. Perhaps I really am just fighting off yet another cold, and the whole throat bit is because of bacteria my throat is fighting off. Perhaps I’ve just got something a bit odd going on at the moment. Perhaps I’m just so tired and not sleeping enough, this is the result.
Whatever the case, God, heal me and make me well, please. Keep my family safe and well and together, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.

I find it hard that my husband neither wants nor is willing to massage my muscles. In my brain, even if he doesn’t want to do it, he knows that I really would love for him to do it, and so he then, in a way, would want to do it. He also would understand the value of offering to do it, and would do so here and there. All because he knows how much it means to me, and he loves me and wants to express his love to me and to care for me. He, of course, does not offer, and only begrudgingly agrees to do it in increments of about two minutes every so many days, and only if I nearly beg in desperation.
So, that sucks.
But it has me wonder what I don’t do that he wishes I would. The reverse of my situation, his version of it. What does it suck for him that I am unwilling or not wanting to do that matters to him?
I actually asked him about this, but he didn’t have anything that came to mind. Naturally, he didn’t ask me the same question, yet I had several things that came to mind without trying… ::big sigh

Nothing quite annoys me so badly as when folks talk about things, problems especially, theoretically, when they can be easily genuinely calculated or figured out.
Stop wasting life – just figure it out and do something about it. You know what I mean?

I don’t like going to bed late. I just don’t.
Post-a-day 2025
I elevated my hips with a sturdy pillow tonight during my physical therapy activities, because I remembered how it had helped specifically on one of the exercises when I’d felt fatigued. I had underestimated how good it could feel to have my hips elevated so. The pillow at the physical therapy office was nothing like this one, so it had mostly just felt lumpy and in the way. But having a sturdy pillow under my hips has felt awesome and helpful these past 20 minutes. And so, for the first time in almost three weeks, I finally managed to elevate my hips for 15 minutes. Had I not added this specific pillow to the bed two days ago, I still wouldn’t have done it tonight. It was just because this pillow was here that I made the effort at all to elevate them, instead of just struggling through the exercises without a pillow.
Anyway, glad that has worked out now!
Thank you for today, Lord. Thank you for my family and for our home. Please, keep us safe and make us well and keep us together. In your name, I pray. Amen.

I noticed distinctly this week while washing myself in the shower that the skin-muscle-etc. combination of body parts on either side of my vagina are significantly higher up, denser, and solid-feeling. It occurred to me that they feel almost normal. It was a wonderful discovery, filled with relief and joy and gratitude. The pelvic floor physical therapy is working! (!!!) Yippee!!
Thank you, Lord, for this improvement. Keep us safe and together and well, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.

I was able to stay home today, and I got to accomplish a lot. There is still plenty more to do, but real progress was made today, and I can feel the relief. I just feel lighter. Sure, I’m going to bed at 2:30am, which is terrible for my sleep. But I don’t intend to do this again anytime soon. And I am doing so because I was getting so much done before going to bed. I even took breaks throughout the day and night, and I took a good nap at one point this afternoon while the baby slept – that was a really good nap. I took it in my bed, all curled up. It was gloriously satisfying. Haven’t had a nap like that in quite a while, actually… (Usually, I barely dose off before the baby is waking me up already…)
Anyway, super glad and grateful, and, truly, I am proud of myself.
Thank you, God, for the support and love today. Keep blessing our family, please, and help us continue to pursue and fulfill your will through ours. In your name, I pray. Amen.

Thank you to all the folks who out helpful videos on YouTube. Once again, my problem was resolved with the help of a YouTube video. My sewing machine works once again(!!!). Yay!(!!)
Thank you, God. And thank you for today’s blessings. Please, keep us safe and make us well. Guide us kindly and clearly always. In your name, I pray. Amen.

Well, I had an emotional breakdown when I messed up a garment’s stitching situation. Then the machine itself broke down when I had about five stitches left to go on finishing the garment.
Hopefully, I am able to find at least one video to help me fix it tomorrow. I imagine the goal was to get me to go to bed already, and to do sewing during the daytime in the future. Hopefully, with that resolve in place, I will be able to repair the machine with ease and use it again with increased ease.
Lord, guide me, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.
