Reset Forty-Seven, Day Forty-Four
Jan. 12th, 2023 05:55 amI had a hard time napping Wednesday when my swollen right foot and the calf above it decided to start itching. My joints have gotten stiff enough that I can't reach the itchy area to scratch while lying down, so I have to sit up every time I need to scratch, which obviously makes getting to sleep difficult. I would just get settled and comfortable and start drifting off when the itch would begin, and I'd have to sit up to reach it.
This happened repeatedly, and I finally went into the bathroom and rubbed the foot and calf vigorously with a warm, damp washcloth for several minutes. That finally allowed me to get to sleep for my first nap, but the itch returned and woke me up after a couple of hours. A couple of hours after that I managed to get another nap by repeating the process, but again the nap was cut short. I will now have to attempt another nap, as I'm very tired, and being tired makes me even more tired. I will shortly be nothing bur tiredness.
In weather news, today has a 76% chance of being dry, and it's also supposed to get up to a near-balmy 61 degrees in the mini-metropolis. The four subsequent days will be rainy and chilly, but not really cold. Eventually this weather pattern has to break, and then we might get either actual winter cold or a premature spring. There's no telling anymore. I'll be glad for a change either way. I like rain, but it's starting to get monotonous.
So tired. I hope itch doesn't wake me up.
