Rough day today!
It’s been a rough day today for me, got up feeling pretty fair as far as feeling good goes, I never feel great, but it was fair. I had too much I wanted to get done today as it is drawing closer and closer to Thanksgiving, I always like to decorate on Thanksgiving Day or that weekend, so in order to be able to decorate means one has to do some of that dreaded cleaning we all seem to put off or at least I do. I detest cleaning. LOL! So first thing I did was to clean out my computer room here I had a bunch of paperwork that needed to be filed and put away, boy does that pile up too, and then clean the floor in here, my long haired black cat leaves me small deposits daily around the place of her hair. So once I finished up in here then my next project was to tackle the kitchen/dining area, my kitchen table is a catch all, all my mail and other junk wind up on there and every so often I have to just stop and “find my table” so to speak. So once I do that then I thought well crap! I should wash those ugly old curtains too before I set up my Christmas tree which is a big old devil.
So I take down the curtains that part is not the hard part for me, its putting them back up, I have neck and back injuries and doing anything like that with my arms up in the air really does hurt me and it sets off a lot of trauma in my body so needless to say about half way through it I only have the three kitchen windows there, but for someone like me it could’ve been 20 or more; So anyway about halfway through my neck is screaming in pain and my lower back is shooting spasms after spasms to where I just get dizzy. I have to stand on a silly step stool too in order to reach the curtain rod, so by doing that I am also causing strain on my feet and ankles.
Last summer I feel and landed on my feet had several bone fractures and well long story short , they of course didn’t heal up right and they hurt me too all the time and boy do I ever feel the weather changes down there, Oh My God!! Back to my curtain hanging, halfway through I have to sit down as I am so dizzy and the pain is just making me sick to my stomach so I sit on the couch maybe a good 30 minutes or so then start my dinner, eat it and thinking well that should fix my body as far as needing to eat as I am also a diabetic, so every task I do of any kind of labor makes me burn up extra energy, whatever I’ve ate for breakfast etc..etc.. I would guess it turned out to be about a three hour project for me counting the numerous times I just had to stop, sit down and try to relax my screaming muscles and the ricochet back spasms I was having, Yep that is my life and that is what happens whenever I try to do anything, when I finished the last curtain I was more than ready for a nap I was near falling asleep standing up, I kid you not..
My nap was a good 3 1/2 hours today so that’s all I accomplished today, cleaned out my computer room, cleaned off the kitchen table and washed and hung up the curtains in that area. That is more than what I get done most days (G)! I just hate this stupid body that is so wracked in pain I just hate it! Nothing I can do though but ( drug up ) with my meds and grin and bear it. Now I’ve got some work to do on my computer before my show comes on tonight, Dancing With The Stars, I just love that show.
