There’s only one thing worse than spiders in my hair and that’s earwigs :yikes: they totally freak me out!
 
Earwigs and woodlice freak me out but in a very different way to spiders. More of grossed out and less completely terrified of them. Its why I never watch celebrity get me out of here. Just can’t do any creepy crawlies except the lovely ladybird.. 🐞

Ugh. I'm dying, I'm sure of it. I've had a migraine, a nasty one, that I think was brewing since Saturday or Sunday but I ignored the signs, because of course. And now I've spent basically 2 days in bed, and my injection was due Thursday then cancelled til yesterday because reasons, then til today because reasons, and then I slept through today, which means I know the "unable to cool down" stuff is zero to do with having a temp and everything to do with hormones and my injection being late. How did I put up with this for years before now? And why is it 24C in my flat at 11pm?!

Ugh. MIGRAINES.

Same 😥😭 It gets extremely warm in my bedroom, even at night. I feel like for multiple weeks every summer, I am extra cranky and have zero energy because I barely get any rest due to the heat. We have a big fan which helps with the temp, but then the loud fan noise keeps me up 🙄 It's a lose-lose situation lol.

I hope you’re feeling more human today.
 
Being awake since 4am thinking about work stuff despite the fact I’m shattered from work and am now off for 4 days! Can’t even blame the heat as the fans are doing a brill job of keeping the room cool.

Sorry. Hopefully you’ll be able to switch off soon. Plan a power nap later.

I’m laid in bed wondering when I can wake husband up to get him to come to IKEA with me when it opens as I want to get some new storage! Although how much energy I’ll have for flat pack assembly who knows 🤷‍♀️!
Thanks @Siikibam.
 
Don’t you mean whether you’ll have energy for IKEA?! I’ll admit I hate walking all the way around. So I made my husband use the shortcuts when we’d go. Could you read a book maybe?
 
I got up and walked the dogs. Thought I might as well be productive and make the most of it before it got too hot. It’s already pretty warm out! 🥵
 
Finding a dog food that doesn’t upset my dogs sensitive tummy and then going back for more and they’ve stopped selling it. 😡

I’m sorry your friendship seems so one sided. I would now become too busy to meet up, you don’t need that stress in your life!
 
My shower and I had a massive disagreement today about what constitutes an acceptable water temperature in this weather.

I always have my shower on 8! But even I had to turn it down to 6 today. I’m really not enjoying this heat wave 😕

I have two dials. The top one has 3 settings - "cold" (it's not actually suitable for showering in because the water is barely a couple of degrees above freezing and it doesn't change), "eco" (which doesn't have a great amount of power behind it but it runs colder) and "normal". The bottom dial is a temperature gauge, cold left to hot right. I usually have it on normal and slightly onto the "cold" side. Today it had to go on eco AND the temp dial turned right to the left to the bottom of the cold section. This is England and I nearly had to shower in close to freezing water. Yikes.

Thank you very much for your sound advice, I will ensure I'm less available. One of my neighbours came and gave me some help, so nice to see some people are kind.
 
My husband has been in pain all night, we haven’t slept. He’s now in hospital. He keeps getting gall bladder attacks. Last time he was in hospital it passed by the time they did a scan. He’s had another 3 attacks since then but slept it off. This time it’s just getting worse.

Hopefully they can confirm gall stones this time and we might be able to get it taken out at some point as he can’t keep going through this.

Also I’m bloody shattered and had a busy work day booked. I’ve just asked if I can take a carers leave day as I neeeeeeed sleep. I was falling asleep driving him to a&e!
 
An update- husband is home. He has to go back tomorrow for an ultrasound and CT scan. He’s got strong pain relief and is currently in bed sleeping.
As well as the gallbladder/stone issue they have identified an abnormal heart beat too.

I hope all his health issues get sorted out soon. 🤞

I can sympathise with your hubby. I had gall stones too. I had my operation to remove it in 2014. Worse pain ever. It usually attacks in the middle of the night as well. The amount of times my dad had to take me to A&E while I was still in the Philippines, and when I came here, it was hubby's turn to take me. I was just glad after it was removed and I don't have to suffer anymore.

Good luck to your hubby.

We are really really hoping they find stones on the scans so they take him seriously and remove it. The last time he was in a&e they just fobbed him off and tried to say it was basically trapped wind!
Thanks so much! It seems awful and I hate that because it’s in the middle of the night I’m always tired and grumpy rather than as supportive as I’d prefer!

So sorry to hear he’s in such pain. I hope they can locate and then remove the stones.
