I had a better day today than yesterday but still didn’t get much done. I laid down around 5:15 and ended up sleeping for over two hours. Extra sleep must be what my healing body needs right now.
I worked on making masks off and on today again. I am out of elastic and ribbon for the ties so can’t finish up any more. I have a bunch to sew the first seam together and more sheets to cut into pieces so I will stay busy until the elastic and ribbon finally arrives.
I finally got the bed made up downstairs that my friend used over a week ago. I had washed the sheets but hadn’t had the energy to go down and make up the bed. Don’t plan on having guests again for a bit but I was tired of looking at the sheets piled on a dining room table.
I cooked some chicken and added it to the can of chicken noodle soup. So far it has only caused mild stomach cramps so I will take that as progress. Still struggling to figure out how to add protein and fat but taking baby steps.
Maybe tonight I will be awake enough to hop on the Crisis Text Hotline and take a call or two. I have missed being on the Hotline but haven’t had the energy to give to it. I haven’t booked myself off my shifts for next week yet as I am hoping to be able to get back on for my shifts next Wednesday and Thursday. We shall see what happens.
I have been in quarantine for a week now. The time has gone by quickly and I haven’t missed other people. The doctor told me to stay home for ten days to two weeks. Thinking since I am symptom free at this point I can be released at the ten day point. I don’t have anywhere to go so may extend it.
No plans for the next few days. Jim will be headed to Stillwater one day soon. I will have him do one last grocery run for me before he leaves so I won’t have to do that while he is gone. I don’t eat much these days and only a few things so my list will be short.
Grateful for extra sleep, grateful for the healing my body is doing, and grateful my quarantine time is almost over.
