This week has been a pretty great week. I had some amazing food, I went and saw some live music, I spent some great time with great people...
Of course, after this amazing week, I need some recuperation time. I never quite know how long I really need to sleep, but I had scheduled 'sick' time all day yesterday and today.
This is my dilemma:
At night I take more medication in order to really relax my body and get the nausea and pain under control enough to sleep comfortably. What this sometimes does, which is a good thing, is get my pain and nausea down to a 4/10, sometimes even a 3/10.
The ONLY problem with this is that when I feel this good (even if it is artificial and fleeting), I just want to get up and do things I haven't been able to do the last couple of days. So right now I feel like vacuuming and sweeping and cleaning my kitchen while watching a movie then doing some yoga....
So the question is - do I risk having a third 'sick' day in a row by expending more energy? Or do I waste this good feeling and go to sleep anyways?
If you know me at all, you know that I will probably risk the first in order to enjoy what good moments that I have!
So, it's the movie "Now and Then" (currently on tv), a nice bubble bath, some kitchen cleaning and a yoga session.
I will sleep when I basically collapse. It's much nicer to be awake when my nausea is relatively under control.
