I felt run down today

So I've spent most of the afternoon and evening in bed.  It's the middle of the night,  and I surfaced for water,  Lantus,  and brushing of teeth. Along the way I talked to two friends,  my mom (who is doing much better),  and replied to an email from an aunt.  I ate dinner,  and I blogged on the computer,  but I haven't posted that yet; I will in the morning.  I do feel better. I guess I just needed a lot of rest.  I plan to get up early and do some things around here.  I'm off for Presidents' Day (which is still new to us,  as it just started last year after years of no break between New Year's and Memorial Day).

It has been snowing just about the whole time I've been in bed. We were supposed to get 3 to 5 inches.  From my window,  it looks like three. That's not enough to be a problem after the morning,  so I should be able to go to the library and my PT appointment. I wouldn't want to miss my last session.

Okay,  I'm going back to bed for awhile.  Good night.

Not having the best of days

I had an issue come up with a friend and while I know that things will improve, but for right now I am pretty unhappy. On the bright side (if there is one), I am now free for the evening and am thinking of what to do. I still want to see the movie 'Frozen', but I think I'll wait for the DVD to come out, to be honest. I do have a free movie ticket but not much money right now and concession items, even if it's just a drink, are pretty expensive.

Instead I think I'll stay home and have a quiet evening of reading and 'Grimm'. Despite feeling down, I'm going to try to make the most of the situation, and hope it improves soon.

I have a whole list of books to read, and I haven't read a single one so far this year. It's sort of sad--the librarian who never reads. So tonight I'm going to make a concerted effort to set aside some time and do so.

I'm also going to do the exercises for my neck tonight. I haven't been, and I'm still occasionally getting pain or numbness down my arm, although it is much better than it was. And tomorrow morning I'd like to try some yoga.

Tomorrow's agenda is this:

1. Give blood early.
2. Take a friend to the grocery.
3. Wash a dog.
4. Clean and fill the fish tanks.

Okay, I'm going to grab some dinner and look at the news.

Hmmm...didn't think today would be worse than last night

I feel like crap. For one, I'm premenstrual. My mood, which has been pleasant for days, took a nosedive. Then there is a winter storm coming and the day has been very gloomy in all sorts of ways. I didn't sleep well last night because my elbow kept waking me up (I think I have tendonitis in it again). Ibuprofen is barely touching it. I have a cold sore. As the day has progressed, I have had a headache develop and lots of aches in my joints, especially my ankles, neck, and shoulders. I actually left work a little early because quite frankly I wasn't accomplishing much, although the morning was quite productive. I think I'm going to curl up in a ball and take a nap. Granted, that's hiding from some of the problems I'm wrestling with, but I'll be able to handle them better later in the evening with a little more rest.
