A feeling-blah day

Tuesday, December 30, 2014


I didn't feel very good when I woke up this morning around 8:30.  I played on the tablet a bit, read a bit, and then took a nap.  I slept until after 2!  TWO!
I still didn't feel real great, and my back is still very stiff - it almost feels as bad as it did right after the fall - but I made myself get up out of bed, although I just moved out into the recliner.  After a bit, I made myself get up and do my standing-up exercises after eating the last of the schnecken, but that is all I did today.   I did put away a few of the dishes in the dishdrainer, but I couldn't even put them all away.  I felt that blah.  I did play on the pute after the bout of exercise, but still...

At 4, I went and got myself dressed, so that I could walk out and meet Ron when that time came.  I wasn't looking forward to walking, but I knew that I had to do it, or I could start coming up with excuses all the time.  So, I walked.  I didn't quite make it to the curves, but I did make it past Carol's mailbox, so I was satisfied with what I accomplished today.  Carol's mailbox is the minimum acceptance point of my walk.  If I don't make it that far, the walk was a total loss.  As well as being stiff, my back is creaking today, so as I walked today, I sounded freaky!  It's a really strange feeling, as well as sounding.  I'm hoping that it's just the arthritis, because the temperatures have dropped in the last couple of days, but it sure feels different inside me this time.

After Ron and I got home, we got to talk to each other for about 45 minutes before I had to leave for my TOPS meeting.  I was kinda anxious for my weigh-in tonight, because my Saturday morning loss (on my Wii) was 10 pounds, and all the Christmas goodies have happened, and I wanted to know what the damage was!  Luckily, I have only gained ONE pound according to the TOPS scale, which is very good news indeed.  One! I can do a happy dance over that!
I get back home after the meeting, and Ron had supper done.  He made pork chops, and we had mashed potatoes and green bean casserole left over from Christmas (yeah, I forgot about those when I "spoke too soon" last night), so we had a good proper meal again tonight.  I surprised myself by finishing the plate of food he made for me and then going back for seconds!  I guess maybe I just needed to eat some real food today, I don't know.  About half an hour later, I was back to feeling blah, though, so maybe that wasn't it.  I sure felt good for that half an hour or so, though.  I am starting to drag ass now, so am preparing myself to go to bed, even though it's a lot earlier than usual.

I don't have anything planned for tomorrow, although I may run up to Georgetown and get Ron's paycheck, just to do something.  I think that may be part of what's going on with me.  The last couple of weeks, I've been going, going, going, and now I'm not.  I'll have to see how I feel tomorrow.
