Cooked alive

wiseheartToday we had 38°C again. When I woke up at 5.50am, it was still 26°C - not even the nights cool down properly anymore. *sigh*
Since I couldn't fall asleep again, I decided to get up, take a shower and do the shopping, which was a jolly good idea - at 8am I was at home again. As I didn't have to cook today (save for an omelet to go with the leftovers), I decided to try my hand on home-made ice-cream... the quick and easy version. Aldi sells these instant fruit soup powders, which you can mix with milk for soup and with yogurt for ice-cream. I chose a strawberry one and even added chopped fresh strawberries to the mix - yummy!
The rest of the day was spent with pathetic vegetating. My brain is so overheated I had difficulties to understand what was said on TV, even when they were talked in Hungarian. I fully capitulated when I tried to watch anything in German, and was just generally useless all day.
Crafting-wise I worked a tiny bit on my penultimate pot-holder; only a little, as my fingers hurt again. I'm in pure survival mode and refuse to push myself in matters that aren't absolutely necessary.

Date: 2024-07-14 09:30 am (UTC)Lj has only ever allowed me to go back so many entries, unless I use calendar. So, no real problems accessing entries, just sometimes am lazy. As to the pneumonia, I asked the doctor how I would have caught it as I had not recently been sick. He said it was aspiration pneumonia and that I would have aspirated bacteria into my lungs somehow. I did smoke for years and years and have mild COPD, and he said that made me more susceptible to infection. However, this is the first time I have experienced any consequence from the COPD aside from not being able to blow out as deeply as someone who does not have it. Anyway, I am finally getting over the side effects of the antibiotics and starting to feel like my self again — yay!
