I'll be the first to say it...I HATE humidity!!!!

You know how people have said "it's like a/n (insert word here that is synonymous with hotter than well..you know.) in here!" Well, that could literally be said about my home state of Minnesota for the past two days and evidently for the next few MORE days. That's bad in general for anyone. However, if you have Mitochondrial Disease, like I do, it's worse than bad. It's horrible. I do not sweat like a quote unquote "normal" individual...I only sweat when it's REEEEEEAAAAALLLLLLLYYYY hot. And, therefore, I am not able to cool myself down like one should be able to do. I've been turning on my air conditioner in my apartment, but unfortunately it seems to be somewhat defective and does not sufficiently cool down my apartment. Yesterday I went to my friend and neighbor, B's apartment and I actually was COLD in hers! So, I'm wondering if I need to call my landlord about it.

I don't have anything remotely positive as far as an update goes. I suppose the upside is that I have survived working four days in a row. Maybe that's what I need to hang on to. I don't have much else lately. What I really need to do is call Dr. M's office tomorrow and see if the nurse practitioner from Dr. P's office called to make an appointment for me. If they didn't, I need to make an appointment for myself. And it needs to be as soon as humanly possible. I can't keep going on like this. Doing so is going to mean more energy crises, seizures and the like. I can't do that. Besides, I have no desire to be shipped out of my workplace in an ambulance again. However, if I continue like this, it's going to happen. Taking it "down a notch" with my job is simply put, impossible. Especially when we're talking about me. I'm a hard worker and I can't just sit and let other people do my work. So there you have it. I need a lot for prayers, because I'm not sure what is going to happen to me anymore. There is a ton of anxiety associated with my own health and also the future. I just pray that the right people will stand by me, even as I decline.
