I over did it

This weekend I partied hard at a Christmas party. I should know better given my physical problems but I guess the chance to have fun was just too enticing.

It’s three days later and I am still paying for it and have a cold to boot. I am resolving to be more sensible from this point on! I can’t risk anything that slows me down and makes me any more tired than I already am. Health and well-being has to be my absolute unwavering focus!

Knowing your limits is so important in managing any chronic illness, and I do admit I have a tendency to push myself too hard sometimes. It’s just frustrating that my “too hard” is someone else’s easy peasy!

I have so many things I want to accomplish!!!

I chose to take a day of leave from work today for some rest and to get some chores done. Got to go now. Might listen to an old 1940s radio show in the evening and do some reading.

Peace and love. x

Monday Happy Vibes

Good morning folks! Welcome to a brand new week! It’s a beautiful day here. The sun is shining and the weather is surprisingly mild. I had a nice walk to work past a lake where I got to watch the ducks swimming peacefully across one side of the lake, and on the other side a swarm of desperate seagulls were fighting over a sandwich someone had abandoned over the weekend. Arranged for pre-work cuddles with my love as I had not seen them in two days and I missed them dreadfully!

I have some happy music on (psychedelic rock) and I thought I would come and share an update here.

Most of my weekend was spent doing a whole lot of nothing which was fantastic and so sorely needed. I watched a couple of documentaries, listened to some old radio shows, read a little and took care of the weekly chores. Was doing the weekly food shop yesterday and was definitely getting the Christmas feeling but gah I’m so not prepared! Buying presents gets harder each year that passes. My chronic health issues make it so hard. I feel exhausted and get overwhelmed in large crowds – all  the noise and movement all around me makes me feel dizzy and sick, which is apparently a symptom of fibromyalgia!

So after many years of saying I would do it, I have decided to do most of my shopping online. I have probably left it a little late but I’m going to try not to stress about it!

I can’t wait for the Christmas holidays. I get a good long break with my love and that’s everything I could wish for. I am so grateful for my life right now.
