Let’s start from the beginning, in the early hours of this morning I thought it was the end. Remember yesterday when I said I got given antibiotics for my tooth… Let’s just say we didn’t get on very well. So, I took the antibiotics quite late as I had dinner late, when going to bed I felt like normal Emily. Anyway, it got to about 4:30am, I woke up and felt so dizzy, had a headache, my whole body was tingling and I felt like I needed to move. I could have easily got out of bed and started dancing but I couldn’t because I was so dizzy (so actually, not so easily). I woke up Zac and these were my exact words when he asked what was wrong, “I’m freaking out, I feel like my body is shutting down”. His response was very comforting, he kept saying it’s okay, gave me a cuddle and he went back to sleep… Meanwhile, in my head, I’m having a mini panic attack thinking that my legs were going to swell up the size of Rasputia Latimore’s (Norbit) while feeling like I needed to do the horizontal running man… I wasn’t in a good way, although at the same time, I was sooo tired! Zac woke up again because I was so jumpy and he asked if I was okay, I replied with absolute jibberish, I could actually hear what was coming out of my mouth but had no control over what I was saying… such a weird feeling! I also had to consult my mum because she is practically my diagnosis doctor using the resource of Google, thank god for the time zone difference as I was too scared to look at the side effects – I thought I was dying! Anyway, these antibiotics are called Roxithromycin and these are the side effects: affects central & peripheral nervous systems ✅ headaches ✅ dizziness ✅ I suffered with 3 of the less common side effects… these antibiotics do not get my vote!
Anyway, I wake up this morning and the symptoms were wearing off but my tooth and jaw was still so so painful! I popped the Panadol and thank god for paracetamol! Though, that is not the main event of the moment I awoke… Zac told me HE ATE THE WHOLE GIANT COOKIE I made yesterday! Urgh! Again!! To be fair, he said he was being thoughtful, he said it was to make sure I don’t eat it, he’s stopping me from getting fat… do I believe him? Absolutely not! He eats my niceties because he’s the Cookie Monster. At the same time though, he is helping me. Thank you but not thank you, meany bobeany slaheany grangreany! Due to this criminal act, I’ve decided against making any more yummy cakes or biscuits for the foreseeable future as his punishment… and because I vowed that I wouldn’t eat anymore sugary things. I did quite well today, I only had a bite of a strawberry Cornetto! That’s good, less sugar for me today, even if I did have 3 lunches – Cereal (mix of Cheerios, chocolate shreddies, chocolate balls), cottage pie and lasagna… all so worth it though! Mayn I’m a piggy wiggy!
What else… We saw the faces of our colleagues today for the first time in a month on a group video call! Very entertaining! It was weird talking to people who aren’t Zac. Suddenly, my normal brain turned back on because I have actually gone nuts staying inside and only seeing Zac, it’s okay though because Zac has gone nuts too. We have had conversations which we probably would never of had if we hadn’t been put in isolation. Bonding experience… also showing the personality sides that everyone has but they usually keep it locked very very deep in their brain’s. Mine and Zac’s have just been released and I am pleasantly surprised with all the weirdness that keeps popping up throughout the day.
Finally, I made the most amazing chilli con carne of my life! Usually I struggle because I’m very partial to a bolognese and I end up making a hybrid bolognese/chilli = Billi? Cholognese? I prefer Cholognese! It’s very confusing for the taste buds, so this was 100% a Chilli! Oh also, Zac MADE me do a workout tonight and I’m so thankful for his bossiness and pushiness at this time, I feel so much better! In general, he knows what’s best for me (excluding food situations) because I am the worst for talking myself out of things. I’m a personal trainer. I know what’s good for me, its just really difficult to practice what I preach right now, so thank god he’s here!
