Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life. - Sophia Loren

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I angered my lower back nerves, and inflamed all the muscles down in there, trying to rid our flooded basement of the ankle high over flow from the sub-pump getting stuck. My big mistake was not just waiting another half an hour for 'the hubster' to make it home. I panicked, though. I think I also do stuff like that to try and prove that I can. Everybody treats me with kid gloves, but I swear I can take care of myself. I just may have to take a little longer to recover from it than most. My arms are also very angry with me for this tedious emergency task I just HAD to perform, although I think it did them some good. It's more of a good worked out muscle hurt than anything else.

I continue to make the same mistake of over working my body. Seems, this is one mistake I just don't learn from. My mind is determined that my body must keep up. It's a very frustrating feeling to be 36 years old and not be able to do the things that should be everyday living. Some how I need to condition my mind to listen to my body. Easier said, than done, when you are as stubborn as I am.

Last night was another rough night to try and fall asleep and RLS along with my lower back pain were the major complaints. I did finally fall asleep with the heating pad on my legs. (Luckily it turns off by it's self.) I was up after only about 3 hours of sleep and then was able to go back to sleep after about 2 hours of waiting and slept another 4 hours. So I got enough sleep, just not as good of quality as I require.

I have a big weekend planned with many errands to be run and dress shopping with a friend who is getting married next summer. I would like to find "the sleep place" early tonight if possible, but if I can manage any energy tonight it may have to be spent on the house cleaning. I have neglected it for 2 days and I swear it looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a month. It's amazing to me how fast things pile up with only TWO people here. It never was this way with just me. HAHA!

The weather has been about a high of 45, partly cloud with a possibility for rain. My knees are feeling ok, (so far,) but my head isn't so I would agree with rain, but probably only isolated light showers. hehe
