Another Day of Rest

I decided to take yet another day of rest because my body was just so sore from working in the yard and garage. Also, I ate way too much last night because my husband bought some chips, and I just can't resist potato chips. I was bloated and uncomfortable when I went to bed and still felt full and b...

Took It Easy Again Today

Got up a little before 8am this morning (I think) and managed to empty/fill the dishwasher and clean the counters but that's it. I spent the rest of the day working on my cross stitch but got frustrated because I kept running out of colors I needed. I thought about just buying them online so I don't...

An Actual Day of Rest

So my day of taking a break wasn't much of a break because I did laundry all day long. I lost track of how many loads I actually did. I think it was about five loads of kids' stuff (from the garage and that I found in the laundry room) and towels then finally I did a load of my own laundry right bef...

Rest Day

After spending the past four days on a weeding/organizing spree, I decided to take a break today. Well, actually, my body decided that. I woke up at around 7:30am which is the earliest I've woken up in ages. My husband was still asleep downstairs so I decided not to make coffee and just worked on my...

Worn Out Again

I ended up spending a good portion of the day--starting around noon--doing more work in the garage. I found a pair of vice grips in the drawer and were able to uses them to get the stripped screws out of the bunk bed (I found a couple more on the bottom bunk). My husband helped me switch the bunks t...

Everything Hurts (But I Guess That's Good?)

Today was another day of getting stuff done. This time I decided to tackle the garage/boys' bedroom. The last time I did any cleaning/organizing of the garage was back in April, and that's when things started getting bad for me. I ended up with chest tightness and breathing problems that sent me to ...

Sore and Tired

Today was somewhat productive. I woke up kind of early again but then just stayed in my room so no one would know I was awake and start complaining about something. It also meant I didn't have any coffee because I didn't want to go downstairs and see the mess I knew was in the kitchen. I ended up fi...

Another Short Entry

I didn't take a gabapentin last night and went back to the anxiety pills I was taking to help me sleep. I actua...

Quick Entry for Today

Just wanted to get this done quick while my 10yo is telling me a Five Nights at Freddy's story (he was helping me brainstorm a fanfic idea) before we watch some Voltron. Not sure I'll have time after we're done watching so... Today went well. I didn't sleep again. Like tossed and turned all night. ...

Getting Outside

I finally had that picnic with my 10yo that we've been planning for weeks. It was just too hot to enjoy being outside and then I had to babysit or I was just to fatigued or had an appointment or something would come up. It rained the other day, and yesterday, I was busy and tired. But today, despite...

Definitely PMS

So the irritability and flipping out on everyone yesterday was definitely PMS. I need to get back to the doctor so she can put me back on the birth control so I only have to deal with his every ten weeks instead of ever four because it sucks. Thankfully, I was much calmer today. I started my new me...
