Things not to do with Lyme brain...

Cute—hope you didn't get cold last night. My rule of thumb for duvets and blankets is that with the fabric right-side up, the tag is usually in the lower right-hand side. That may or may not help you. ;)

I made a small meatloaf… without any bread/crumbs or tomatoes. I don't know why. But I don't think it qualifies as baked meatloaf—maybe just "baked meat". Didn't taste too bad.

HA! This made me laugh, thanks for sharing! It's funny because we can totally relate.

I laughed a couple of weeks ago when I made an "easy" warm winter dinner. I was proud of myself because the counter was actually totally clear and organized. All I had out were the few dinner ingredients, the rice cooker, and the crockpot--super simple!

Welp, the chicken went into the rice cooker with the sauce, and the rice went into the crockpot with water. I didn't realize any of this was mixed up until I went to switch everything on. Hahaha! Glad my brain realized something was amiss before that rice cooker attempted to cook 2 pounds of chicken!

Summersun, that is the BEST! :-0 Hahahahahahah!!

Summersun…. HA—thief!!

Other things to avoid:
Don't drive (ya never know, with the seizures or passing out). Don't go back to school...cuz ya can't learn, remember, or read. Don't eat, cuz when ya swallow food goes up your nose. Don't work, cuz if ya do, ya have a seizure in front of your boss. Don't date, cuz ya look funny when u don't understand what the dude is saying. Don't shower, cuz ya faint. Don't do the dishes, cuz your too fatigued. Don't make calls to the insurance company...cuz ya get nowhere, it's draining, and your bills go to collections anyway. Don't exercise, cuz you'll pass out. Don't eat anything that looks yummy, cuz you'll have to deal with the allergic reaction. Don't read, cuz it hurts. Don't tell anyone how sick you are...cuz ya look great. Don't tell anyone your plans for the day...cuz they won't get done. Don't tell your PCP your symptoms, cuz he won't believe you and will say, 'it's in your head'. Don't talk to your mom...cuz it will induce bart. rage.....Lock yourself in your room, pull the hair out of your head, and cry, scream, kick...and then pass out....leave the kitchen a mess, cuz ya got no energy to clean. don't fold your laundry, cuz you get chest pain when you walk up the stairs to the laundry room....in short...don't live your life.

Oh, ya...and couldn't put the blanket cover on before either...was so hard not to give up (but I laughed, instead of crying this time). It's on the wrong way, my feet will be cold....but it's in. It hurts my head to look at the sides, and think which way it goes in....Wwwaaaa. :(

Support welcome.

LOL! Happyjo! I have to always be careful of not emailing or answering questions when I get tired! Who knows what will come out of my mouth or from my brain when I'm tired!! That's why you don't often find me on here later on in the evenings - it's best if I stick to things that I don't have to think much!! LOL!

Can we include all of "cooking" on this list? Pretty please???

So last night, I had pulled meat from the freezer for dinner. I thought I had pulled out some pork chops, and had dinner all plotted out - but once the meat thawed, I discovered it was a very large chicken breast!!! Since there are two of us, we could have split it, but of course, my brain didn't go there!

So I panic - did I mention that I'm not good under pressure while I'm in Lymie land? What the heck am I going to do with just one chicken breast?!?! So I go through my online recipes and find sweet and sour chicken - cool! With a few adjustments, I can still make a nice dinner without blowing my diet all to heck!

It wasn't until I put the chicken bones and skin in the turn table where my mixing bowls and measuring cups go that I realized, I needed to back track a bit and make sure I hadn't done anything too "Lyme brained" !

Yup!! I did, besides the chicken in the turn table, I had put the gluten free flour in the frig, and the ketchup in the pantry, and a few other things.

So I would like to nominate all of "cooking" to this list!!!

Well, if we didn't have these ridiculous stories to tell, lyme & co would be a sad experience…. ;)

Summersun, the bathing suit is so funny... I would be scared to bring it back... I make it a habit to look at myself in the mirror before leaving a store, to see if I haven't forgotten to take anything off... Im' horrified by the thought of an alarm going off...

Summersun that made me laugh so much, and take a vow not to attempt clothes shopping for a while.

I would like to add that my dogs were not impressed when I gave them rabbit mix for breakfast, but at least it was that way round as I don't think the rabbits would have done too well on 'waggies'.

That and I have had to give up on riding my scooter as, even though I have been here for 8 years and didn't drive the UK before I left, I canot for the life of me remember which side of the road I am supposed to be on....I got had to turn back at the roundabout for fear of causing a pile up.

Ahh, won't life be so much less interesting when I'm better????

Wash your hair with face wash...

Yup this happened to me about three nights ago. Funny part is I didn't even know that I had done it until my fiancé asked if I had bought new shampoo because my hair smelt different. I said no and asked what he thought it smelt like. As I'm sure you can guess, he said, "it smells a lot like your face wash" with a very confused tone!

I cried because i was so frustrated from this brain god being os much worse since starting antibiotics, but then we laughed about it for a good half hour :)
