I hosted a little housewarming get together tonight. I had help, I only cooked a little bit, and cleanup was pretty easy.
Had a couple glasses of wine, had some food, visited with friends... It was very low key and very lovely!
I had such a great time just being with close friends and celebrating the new place.
So why do I feel as awful as if I had done a three hour show?! The entire time my hips have felt like they have knives and hot pokers embedded into all of my joints and my lower back and the sides of my legs... My Crohn's went all psychotic on me afterwards (from alcohol and bad food no doubt), and I am so exhausted that I think it's going to take at LEAST three days to recuperate!
So why is it so bad? Why is it the same bodily reaction as when I have overdone it working out, or walking too far, or going to a Stampeders game or a concert... Why is it that being at my house all day, doing some cooking and visiting with friends can cause the same amount of pain?
I had a fantastic day and it was absolutely worth it... But I have a very tough few days ahead of me to try and catch up. :)
Happy housewarming :)
