"Catch Up On Life Day"

Today I have been feeling a wee bit better, so as I look around me, I see the house in turmoil, and I feel the need to do something about it. It's taken me most of the day to do a very small amount of necessities, including bathe myself. My husband was ecstatic to come home from work to see the dishes done and a clean me. the poor guy, he's such a trouper. 

I realize how to some it may sound completely crazy to need a full day to do such minimal tasks, but that is my reality. From day to day I am lucky to be able to keep up, and hopefully I didn't over do it and pay for what I did tomorrow. *crosses fingers*

It's been a really rainy stormy day and now that the storm has moved on my head isn't feeling as bad as it was earlier. BIG PLUS!! Also I'm very proud of myself, because I walked on the treadmill for 6 minutes today, which I know isn't very long, but I must start very slow, so I don't over work myself into a flare up and tons more pain. It's a slow frustrating process, but it will pay off eventually.

Last night I went to bed very very early and ended up sleeping for about 10 solid hours, which was just what I had needed. I'm hoping it won't affect how I sleep tonight, although I am tired so I should fall asleep fine. *knock on wood*
