Diffuse Abdominal Pain

I'm not quite sure what it is these past few months. I've been having trouble sleeping since the beginning of the year. Part of it, I think, is a change in bedding. My doctor wanted to be more aggresive with my allergies and suggested that I get rid of all of our featherbedding. I had just purchased a new down comforter last fall, but he said it had to go (even though I keep it in a duvet that get's washed twice a month). So, now I have a new fiberfill comforter and the weight is just not right.

My bedroom is very bright at night, I think they changed the streetlight outside. And of course the sun rises earlier now.

Anyway, the poor sleep seems to leave me a little achy during the day. I've really ramped up my activity, what with the vigorous vacation, lots of heavy work in the yard and of course my regular household stuff like laundry which requires taking baskets of stuff from the second floor to the basement.

I've had a diffuse sort of pain in my abdomen for a while. I don't know if it's related to the heavy yard work or the terrible diarrhea I had earlier this week (maybe a combo of both).

Anyway, I'd like to just sleep in one of these days, but it seems like I wake up at 7:30 on weekends and can't go back to sleep. I'll try again tomorrow.

I've overdue for my yearly gyno appointment. I'll try to remember to call next week. Of course if it isn't an emergency it'll take another two months to get an appointment so I'd better call sooner rather than later.
