Lupie's Morning Routine

Wake up.  I'm feeling terrible. What to do now?

Analysis. Why do I feel bad?


  1. My eyes are sore dry, and feel like they've been rubbed down with sandpaper.
  2. My mouth's also dry.
  3. My feet and legs are sore and swollen, and it hurts to stand.
  4. Random joints hurt.
  5. Exhaustion.  I feel like I haven't slept in a month.
  6. Overheated.  
  7. Gut feels uncomfortable.
Plan.  What can I do about each of these things?
  1. Dry eyes: Use my eye gel.
  2. Dry mouth:  Rinse with dry mouth mouthwash.
  3. Feet and legs:  Try the tens machine.  If that fails take a fluid tablet.
  4. Joint pain: Tens machine again, if that fails, anti-inflammatory gel on the problem joints, failing that, pain pill.
  5. Exhaustion: Coffee.  Lots of strong coffee, and my vitamin B12 supplement.
  6. Overheated: Turn on air conditioner, and put hair up in ponytail to get it off the back of my neck.
  7. Gut: Take my fibre supplement.
Action. What I do.
  1. Put in eye gel.
  2. Wash mouth with dry mouth mouthwash.
  3. Have coffee and try to remember what else I planned to do.
  4. Go back to bed for another hour because I feel horrible.
