I don't enjoy humid days. It's not just because my hair gets really puffy, it's because it seems to make breathing much more difficult. Mornings hours are the worst. I usually wake up with the urge to cough so I try "fixing it quietly" with a couple coughs that resemble the sound of choking on food (you know what I'm talking about...). After about 20 of those, I give up trying to control my breathing and sit up to start the full blown morning cough. It usually happens routinely around 5:30 each morning so sleeping in hardly ever happens!
Sometimes mornings are so bad I feel like I'm either going to choke or just stop breathing all together. At times it's kind of scary. I tell the gals at work to come check on me if I don't show up in time!
Going to bed or taking a nap in the middle of a day, which I can now see when I was a kid why my dad enjoyed his afternoon nap so much, is sometimes hard for me to do too. I have to switch from a vertical to horizontal position and my lungs have shared with me that they don't like to do that - quietly anyway.
I've been working harder on watching what I eat and how much (that's the real problem). Food and I like each other very much. Especially baked chips and rice. Anyway, I've been doing ok during the week but then I tend to have the "see food" diet on the weekends.
Life has been busy with work, extracurricular activities and the laundry that seems to not wash itself. The key is staying active once it starts turning cold outside. Can't let my lungs get too bored.
Well, that's all I have for now. As usual, thank you for reading my blog and for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. I'd love to hear from you. If you'd like to contact me, please send me a message via the side bar on this page. Have a great September everyone!
