Woke up feeling achy this morning. The dogs were anxious to go out so got dressed and took them for their walks, one by one. Sophia tried to make me run this morning – like that was going to happen! At some point she tried to take off and pulled on my arm. It hurt my shoulder. I didn’t feel anything pop so she didn’t do serous damage but it is sore today. Roxy was more interested in chasing squirrels than doing her business.
Went to Emporia a little before 11:00. I had to stop by my insurance agent’s office to add another rental to their insurance policy. Went to my Chiropractor. He worked on my sore shoulder and a spot that has been bothering me on my lower back. Went through the car wash and took the time to vacuum my car afterwards.
Got to exercise a bit before noon. I had to modify two exercises today as I couldn’t twist my arm in the right position to do the exercises today due to the sore shoulder.
I got a text from the high school kid that is going to set up my dog kennel. He could meet me at 1:00 today to pick up the material. Perfect timing as I got out of exercise at 12:50. I went over to Tractor Supply. They didn’t have their act together today and it took about 20 minutes for someone to meet me in the yard to pick up the order I had placed on-line this morning.
Someone else drove through the open gate when the girl opened it for me so had to wait for her to load them before we could get loaded up. Finally got what I had ordered and headed home.
My kid unloaded the material and then had to go do something else. He is to come back sometime soon and set up the kennel for me. Not sure when to expect him back. He is busy working in the fields and doesn’t have a lot of free time. Guess it will get done when it gets done. At least I now have options if he doesn’t get here to get it set up. I might be able to find someone to help me do that part easier than finding someone with a pickup to meet me and bring the kennel to me.
I came in and sat in my chair and had a sandwich after the kid got the kennel unloaded in the back yard. I have dozed off and on all afternoon long. My on switch didn’t seem to work today and I have been tired and cranky all day. My afternoon nap felt good and I am finally feeling almost ready to wake up and start my day.
Yesterday was emotionally draining again and I needed a rest and recovery day today. Feeling a bit empty again and will need to allow some more time to refill and reground. I decided not to even attempt to get something done today as it probably wouldn’t go easy and I am not in the mood for anything hard today.
Tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment at 10:30 and then I am going to Council Grove to meet a friend for lunch. That is just what I need! Having a deep conversation with a dear friend is restorative for my soul.
Friday I have to go back to Emporia for exercise in the afternoon and then I need to check out something afterwards. Hoping I can stay home this weekend.
I almost need to turn the A/C on today. It has reached the mid 80’s today and that is about my upper limit before I turn on the A/C. It is to cool down a bit this week so will try to wait it out. I don’t do well when it is hot and above 84 is my limit of heat tolerance.
Haven’t painted today and doubt that I will. I need to let my shoulder quiet down a bit before I put it to work painting. I am hoping by the weekend I will be good to go painting.
This has been one of those days where it is best that I stay home in time-out for the sake of humanity. I had absolutely no patience earlier today and could have picked a fight with anyone that looked at me. I’m grateful I am in a better place this afternoon but still feeling a bit vulnerable and like I could erupt easily. Quiet time at home should fix that.
Grateful the dog kennel material is at the house, grateful I was able to adapt a couple exercises today, and grateful that I can stay in time-out away from people for the rest of the day.
