Lost in another world

I have not blogged in a while. I joined an online support group for people with COPD and I am still learning to navigate the website and have lots of "letters" to answer. They are very nice people and very supportive. They are all ill with COPD in varying degrees. Some work - one is a concert pianist. Wonder how he manages that. He has a diary that I just haven't had the time to read. I've been busy trying to heal myself. That's the only thing about the group... They talk about how to live with the disease. I need to learn that, of course, but I am really working to heal myself and be free of it. At least I desire to have a few more years of not having to have oxygen all the time. At night is not so bad, but it can be a bit of a hassle if I have to get out of bed once I'm there. I had to several times last night as Asia, my dog, just wouldn't settle down. I managed though.

I had an excellent Qigong class on Friday. It was just Sarah and me. No one else showed up. I like it like that. Well, I would, wouldn't I?

Yesterday I ran around taking my oxygen level all day. I slept late and when I do that I don't feel well the next day. However, the night before I simply could not go to sleep. It was at least 3 o'clock, or maybe 4, before I could sleep. I had a terrible headache, but didn't want to get up and take aspirin. However, when I finally did I was able to sleep. I won't make that mistake again.

I haven't talked to anyone since leaving Qigong class on Friday. Not that unusual, and doesn't really bother me. But sometimes I wish someone would call to check on me. No one does and even though I do have a follower, I don't she has time to read this so I'm just talking to myself. Which is OK.

I had a good day today. Hot outside and was tempted to go to the pool, but feared the water would still be too cold. This week the water should begin to warm up and I may even give it a try tomorrow. That's what I've been looking forward to for so long! And I know the exercise will be good for me. And the sun!!! Lovely Sun!

Well, got to go. There are two horror movies I intend to watch tonight while eating chocolate ice cream. Sounds like fun to me. Is that sad??? Maybe...
