Better – Daily Prompt
I’m feeling better today than I have all week. I think getting out of the house made all the difference. My husband suggested, out of the blue, that he thinks our house is a sick house because I always feel physically better when I’m out of it but not necessarily mentally better. He did not know what to call the house, as far as “sick house”, he just suggested that he thought it was making me feel worse. I’ve thought for a long time that it is a sick house, for me anyway. It has been the worst investment we have ever made and we will be so glad to get out of it once we get the mortgage paid down so we can sell it without a loss.
What is really strange is my friend that lives forever away from us, may also live in a sick house. She feels better when she is out of her house. They are remodeling theirs which could be exposing her to century old dust. I thought it strange anyway, that my husband mentioned it the way he did. And she and I talk about it all the time, concerning her health.
When we go camping in our travel trailer, I always feel better than I do when we are at home. That is what started our conversation. I mentioned I wanted to go camping again when we could. But it is getting too hot already to even think about it. It takes so much to load the travel trailer and then set it up when we get to the camp ground. And, though I love to fish, I can’t because I can’t get out in the heat. I do enjoy my quiet time in the travel trailer though, while my husband is fishing. And we always cook something on the camp fire. Good times!

I hope you find some answers that continue to help you feel better.

I feel the same about my house. It’s old, and sort of cabin-like so all the dust gets in. We did pass the mold inspection! I don’t like being away from home though, so can’t say that I feel better when I’m staying somewhere else. I do believe that I feel better when I force myself to get out and do things that distract me from how I’m feeling, even if it’s just to go for a short walk. I hope your house isn’t making you sick and that you can get out more often ❤

If the heat and having to go tinkle so often weren’t such serious issues, I have nice places to walk, and I would love that, but I can’t get out in the heat and/or go walking. I get out to go to drs, tests and grocery shopping. Thank you for your concern. 🙂

I’m the same. I talk a good talk, but when it comes down to it, most of my outings also involve appointments and errands. It’s so much easier said than done. I hear you and am right there with you. Sending you peace ❤

I do. And I’m sorry if I came off as sounding like I was telling you what to do. I know that wasn’t what you needed to hear. Just know that I support and encourage you, where ever you are ❤

I did not take it as you telling me what to do. I took it as genuine concern.

I was living in an old place that had mold and asbestos (I wasn’t aware of it at that time) and was not feeling well most of the time. When I left I felt so much better.

I hate to even think of asbestos! I know this house doesn’t have it, it is too new, but it could have mold.
