Feeling crappy

We have been having a Nor’easter for the past 3 days and it’s not done yet. It’s supposed to last into tomorrow. It’s been cold, rainy and windy and I have been hurting so bad. My tylenol arthritis just barely takes the edge off.

My neck, back, shoulders, hips and just about every other joint in my body has been aching. I feel like I’m getting a cold, I have a headache and not a real good appetite either. I sure don’t need to read about diet pill comparisons because I’m not eating much.

Living in this camper sure doesn’t help. I feel the cold and dampness all the way down to the bone. When the heater goes off it’s cold right away. I wear a sweatshirt with a hooded sweatshirt over top of it and I’m still cold. We have a space heater running and that helps a bit but that bone chilling cold is still firmly in place in my bones.

The only place where I’m nice and warm is in bed. The mattress has a heater in it and I plug it in at night and burrow underneath the 2 quilts and I’m warm. Then I wake up in the morning and the bone chilling starts all over again.

I can’t take very long showers because the hot water tank isn’t real big and the hot water doesn’t last too long. I barely have enough time to wash my hair, forget conditioner… no time for that, and wash my body and get out. I would love to stand there and let the hot water wash the cold and pain away but it runs out before I get the chance.

I think I’m going to go curl up in bed.. I’m tired… tired of being cold, tired of being in this camper, tired of not being able to find a job, tired of running out of money… Let’s just put it this way.. I’m just tired of it all.
