I had high hopes I would get something productive done today but that hasn’t happened yet. My get up and go got up and left and I haven’t felt like doing anything today. Guess I will declare today a rest day and accept it for what it is. May go take a nap in a bit. Might as well sleep if I am not going to do anything else.
It warmed up into the 70’s today. I turned the heat lamp off for the chicks and opened their windows. They haven’t had fresh air for several days. It is clouding back up this afternoon so may need to go down and close them back up again. I was going to clean out the coop today but didn’t have the energy to do so.
I have worked on masks for a bit. Got another 10 finished. Still have 30 more almost done and then I need to start pinning again. Also need to cut two sheets into pieces and get them pressed so I can start the process all over again. Sewing hasn’t held my attention today so haven’t worked on them for very long at a time.
I did enjoy a nice long conversation with a friend on the phone. She called me to check on me and we ended up talking for 45 minutes. I so appreciated the phone visit. I have gone three days and have only talked to Jim daily. I was getting tired of talking to myself.
I need to figure out something to eat. All I am hungry for is crackers and chips. That isn’t very nutritious or very good for me. I have eaten flour products since I have been sick and need to go off of them again. I am proud of myself that I didn’t cave into the desire to have sugar. Flour and grains act like sugar in my body though and starts my cravings. It will be a rough couple of days to get it out of my system again. I need to figure out what I can eat and then I can start the detox process. Raw veggies and fruits still don’t look safe to me. I need to get brave and try them and see what happens.
I always wonder why some days I can get a lot done and other days I can’t make myself move. I guess it is a good thing I can go with the flow of the day and not have to push myself to do things when I don’t want to. Maybe my body needed another rest day. It feels like I have taken lots of those lately. Good thing there isn’t anything that I feel has to be done urgently around here. Makes it easier to go with the flow and honor what my body seems to be asking for.
Grateful for a warmer day today, grateful for friends and long phone chats, and grateful I can honor my body and declare today a rest day.
