Current Circumstances

 Let's start off with some color therapy

Bougainvillea and blue skies.

March has not gone according to plan where blogging and walking are concerned.

Have you heard of ocular myokymia?

"Plalking" -- Picking up litter while walking.

I've been dealing with visible pulsation under my left eye for a couple of weeks now.  I've been to two doctors who both say, don't worry, it will go on its own -- and they are right, it does, but then comes right back again.  Sometimes for hours, sometimes days.

The possible usual suspects are too much caffeine, stress and anxiety, not enough sleep -- similar to what I was told when I had several weeks of heart arrhythmia in 2021.  Did a blood test to check my magnesium level which is perfectly fine.  Because I have dry eyes, likely made even worse by the glaucoma drops, I also need to limit my screen time so have been reading more; but, if I read for too long, even that causes eye strain.  My bedtime gets earlier and earlier because my eyes are so tired by the end of the day.  The problem is, though the eyes are tired -- the mind and body are not -- so there's often a lot of tossing and turning. 

Frustrating to say the least.  So I have to try and figure out what's enough, what's too much.

I just hope this isn't going to be a chronic issue. 

And ...

to top that off,

my husband was coughing away last week with a sore throat --

now it's my turn.

Started with a burning throat and has now traveled to my nose.  When I walk outside, my nostrils feel like they are burning, my nose runs at night.  Cough, cough, cough.  Today add sneezing and nose blowing to the mix.

Warmer weather isn't helping the situation or my symptoms.  But the pollinators are happy.

Take care,
