Rainy Bleh Day

I went grocery shopping this morning, was barely able to get home at 11am, put my groceries away, and collapse in bed. I slept from like 11:30am to 2:30pm. I am still recovering which is crazy. I have my physical therapy intake tomorrow and am prepared for that. I have my bag packed, extra light. I am not going to fill up my water bottle until I get there so it won't be so heavy.

A water bottle may not seem that heavy to some, but with my health issues, it is. So I packed light snacks since I will be there from like 7am- 1:30pm. I picked out a comfortable outfit, going to charge my headphones and phone tonight. I have my alarm set for tomorrow. I usually naturally wake up around 6:30 or 7am, but it takes me a while to get out of bed because I wake up extremely achey and in pain and exhausted.

It feels like such a scam, getting 8-9 hours of good sleep and being exhausted the moment I wake up LOL 😄

I am going to have my coat and my fidgets. I'm not sure if I will bring my forearm crutches, I do need practice using it in public and some exposure therapy could help me get over the anxiety of using it in public.

It has helped me a lot to think of it like a hiking stick. You know when you go hiking and use a hiking stick? You CAN hike without the hiking stick, but it helps. For me, walking anywhere is like hiking up a mountain. Yes I CAN walk, but this helps.

It helps with the anxiety to have this explanation ready in case anyone asks and to think of it like this. I won't have to go grocery shopping for two weeks now though, so that is good. My current hyperfixation meal is chicken pot pie.

I have certain meals that I eat repeatedly over and over until I get tired of them, like my favorite breakfast meal right now is cereal. My hyperfixation meal the other month was these premade Caesar salads. 😄

It's rainy out and grey, just relaxing and recovering as much as I can before tomorrow. I have made progress on my planning for my friends birthday next month, going to invite her and our mutual friend over and have some cake and hang out like we did for our mutual friend's birthday, the three of us hung out and had some cake.

Overall a pretty good day today, though painful from shopping, I got to have a nice L-inner (Late Lunch early dinner 😄) I made a lot of progress on my diamond art painting yesterday as well! I will probably post pictures of it when I get the energy to get up and go take pictures of it. It is the moon and is really pretty!
