🌧️ 05/07/2023 Life Update 🌧️

Good evening angels 💝A recovering Teapearls reports once again 😓I didn't expect to be writing another entry so soon. I did have a scratchy throat on Monday evening, but it was so insignificant that I just took some over-the-counter medicine, called it a night, and slept well. The doctor and I believe what exacerbated my symptoms was the heat exhaustion I experienced when trying to do additional Uber deliveries in a car with no A/C. Because it was raining, I was forced to close the windows throughout most of the "shift." Upon arriving at my house, I immediately changed out of my clothes, wiped off the excessive sweat, and collapsed on my bed until dinnertime. I didn't drink water to avoid using the restroom, and I hadn't eaten a proper meal up until then either, resulting in my body getting upset with me. When it was time to wake up for work, I felt extremely groggy, and I was still sweating 😔 Understandably, my place of work urged me to seek a medical professional to rule out COVID-19, the flu, and strep throat. All tests came out negative and was told to just take Advil, rest, and drink plenty of fluids. I've been in and out of sleep since noon, and while my temperature has reduced, I still feel warm and my head is pounding. I'm looking forward to eating soon and then going back to sleep. I hope I wake up recovered enough to go back to work. Not only do I need the money, but I'm so anxious about missing out that I've even had dreams of being at work since last night 😭I guess this is a rude reality check to not overexert my body.

I hope that this life update has also reminded everyone to take care of themselves and that the body definitely keeps score of how we treat it and will speak up when it's had enough. Please eat your three meals a day with a snack in-between each, and a dessert if you're feeling feisty. Additionally, drink plenty of water, especially during this terribly hot summer. I am always wishing for everyone's health, abundance, and peace 💞 Please take care of yourselves. Bye-bye!! 👋💓
