Feel awful
FINALLY got a good picture(s) of my butterfly rash. You can really tell the red in my cheeks, over my nose, etc. 

Anyways, today I feel yucky. My left finger has grown almost to the same size as my right, and the left side of my head feels swollen. Scary. I am so happy to be going back to my doctor tomorrow. I just pray I can make it through today alive lol. I also pray my doctor orders the right tests and sees that something is definitely wrong. It sucks that I have to kick and push so much for help but I guess when you have been a hypochondriac all your life people don't take you seriously when you say things like "I think I have Lupus" or "Look at my swelling ankles," "my rash", etc. it's sad. All those years of anxiety have probably costed me my health when something really IS wrong now. 

But it's okay. God is with me.

  As I reflect and look back on the last couple of years of my life, I feel nothing but pain and brief moments of nostalgia longing to have the small joys I used to experience back then. I am grieved to look back and then at who I am today and realize how far I have fallen from who I used to be. The happy, full of life version of me.

I started praying to God asking Him to send me someone I could connect with because I felt so lonely. Not just lonely, but a deep ache inside I can only describe as a vacuum of sorts. I had legit frost-bite like pains in the upper left quadrant of my chest. It felt like something was terribly missing. I actually found out in emotional pain mapping that area represents longing for a male figure. I would cry out to God for a friend who I could feel connected to. I was faced with the fact that

  Even broken crayons still color too. I let myself sleep in again today. I got up around 10am and fed my cat Teddy and made two cups of coffee and tea and microwaved some oatmeal. I had a cup of Chobani Greek strawberry and banana yogurt to go with the oatmeal. I went for a quick walk and got ready for work.  Work was more busy than yesterday. It is my 2nd day as chat operator and there were a lot of customers who needed help. I had like 4 chats open at one time and started feeling frazzled because I have to code each customer interaction and I kept losing my place because new chats kept coming in. It made the day go by quicker though! My IBS was acting up today. I had to keep running to the restroom. I am thinking it is from stress. I went on a walk at lunch time and that was nice. I have really been enjoying the changing weather. It feels so nice outside. I am not used to not sweating my guts out when I stand under the sun. 🤣  I sent an email to my former boss at my previous job. I
