Feb. 1st, 2026 09:10 pmWhile we were getting our windows renovated, we spent some time out of our home— my routine got thrown off. I didn’t eat well, didn’t get my best sleep and my comfort space was unavailable— I ended up with poor indigestion & pain around my stomach area— which lead me to the ER the next day. They were able to find the root cause and prescribed me some meds… Now I just need to make sure I avoid having two heavy takeouts in one day :/ I need to not make that mistake again! Literally, I could have gone to a deli at a supermarket and pick up a salad. Yes, Bern and I did went out walking for the whole day, a way to keep our bowels moving. However, cardio alone didn't help and having something quite heavy from a restaurant can be overwhelming. I guess I'm not used to getting takeouts and my daily foods tends to be home cooked meals.
I wish our landlord allowed us more time to plan ahead because I would have been at my parents’ place, in a cozy room with no discomfort. I need my energy to get recharged. The last time I ended up in ER, was when we dealt with a broken refrigerator and had to wait for a week to get in replaced. Just like this year, this was mainly because my digestion was thrown off.
Oh, our car decided to die this week. Bern managed to get it fix. I think we definitely need a new car. I am just super tired.
It feels that every time my routine gets disrupted, my health gets disrupted too. I am just super aggravated about this week. My back hurts from hanging out in the car. My apartment currently smells like paint and I just swept up some paint debris. I may have ingested some of the construction particles. I wish I had cover my living room area with tarp. I have been feeling so crammed.
In a more cheerful vein, I was able to catch up on my sleep and I watched Bridgerton Season 4 as a bandaid for my hectic week. I was to able to get back to my art project. I even got back to my *upgraded* fitness routine: cardio & weight lifting. Anyway, I'm now relieved and I want to get back to romanticizing my personal time and quiet space.
