I had an incredibly bad night, followed by a BBD with a pain level of crying. I still managed to sew 2 pillows to be filled and filled 2. This leaves me with one pillow to add my yarn scraps to. The pillows are loaded in the back of my car. Yes this is the 3rd charity trip in the last 7 days. I am on a roll. I thought I would be able to make more pillows but the green one is very large. There is just no comparison on the sizes. Off to the shelter they go tomorrow.
My body got the better of me again today. Besides have a very bad dyslexic day, my body was about the same. I had trouble keeping tracking of time, I felt out of time and space.. I used the 5 minute cleaning rules several times today to get a few things done. My body laughed at my plans for today. I can only hope that tomorrow is better. I hope I am not to tired to knit most of the day again.
Last night my body decided to laugh at me. It kept me up for a good portion of the night. I finally got to sleep around 4 am. I slept solidly until 10am. I just had no energy for most of the day. All I wanted to do was sleep. I did manage to get 3 loads of laundry done and 5 minutes of deep cleaning done. Yes I set a timer. Even though I was exhausted I did 5 minutes figuring that it was either going to be 5 minutes or energy would mysteriously come from somewhere and I would get more done. Yes my body laughed at me. So I folded a load of laundry and tried to nap. I was too tired to nap so I rested with my eyes closed.
You all knew this was coming. You knew that a few days of solid cleaning like that was just not going to end well. Yes, you were right. I still have about a dozen boxes to go through but I think I will take it slower.
If you actually believe the last statement you don’t know me very well. Decades into this thing called life with Sjogren’s,my mind and body are still at odds. I still want my mind to win , I don’t want to slow down. I am not ready to slow down. I still have so much to do.
I am really hoping to sleep tonight.
I am a little bit out of sync with my mind being in one place in time and space and my hands being stuck somewhere else. Which lead to my whole body being outa sync all day. So not much got done today. I did manage to make it around the block for a walk, but had no energy to do Cubii2 after dinner. I did notice that there were 2 very large parties on the next street over on my walk. With over 1,000 new cases a day of COVID19 in Pima County right now, I am pretty sure that this is not the best idea in the world.
I did manage to get a few rows knit after lunch today, but that was all for my hands. Also when I can’t hold the knitting needles I have tended to do jigsaw puzzles. I got 6 finished today. The most amazing thing is that no puzzle pieces were left on the floor thanks to my amazing puzzle app.
When we were talking to the kids today I explained to the kids and John that my iPad Air (1st edition) was showing up with unusual colors in a lot of apps. They said that the touch screen was dying. They also said the next version would not be out until March. I really hope my iPad lasts until then. So I will do a backup this week just so I don’t lose anything. Technology we can’t live with it or with out it.
