So I have been really good lately - other than the one day working on music - with stopping before my body crashes.
I have been listening to my body and when it tells me to stop, I *actually* stop and rest instead of continuing until the project is finished.
Even yesterday - I wanted to wash dishes, put dishes away, and make a really nice meal, but after I grabbed necessities from the grocery store (real necessities, like toilet paper), my body told me not to do anything else.
No watering the garden, no watering the lawn, no stairs, no writing, no wedding projects. Instead, I got into pajamas, sat in bed, and read my book.
And yet...
Today, I still feel like I pushed WAY too hard. I pushed more than my body could handle.
So now I have to claw back a little bit more.
It will take some trial and error, some getting used to, and maybe asking for help even when I hate to do so.
And then when I receive help, to accept it without trying to entertain or clean the entire house just because someone is coming by, because that is SO counterintuitive.
Today I have stayed in bed all day.
All I have to do is look after Decker and do my injection... then have a nice, long, relaxing bubble bath.
That's it.
