I hit the wall of exhaustion

I think I kicked my own butt!

As you all know I had RYN gp the 11th of December. I got out of the hospital on Sunday night and did not go to sleep until 11:30 pm. And since that Monday I have been waking up at 6:00-6:30 am for work and not sleeping until somewhere between 10:30-11:00 every night. So about an hour ago it hit me...big time. I never take naps too. I am exhausted...like my body feels heavy and my eyes feel like they weight a zillion pounds. Thank God we are closed 3 days and we are working a short day on Xmas eve but I think I will sleep in just a little...maybe. ARGH! Sometimes being self employed is hard! I am looking forward to the next two Fridays off.

My God girl - I was napping a couple of times a day, going to bed early and getting up late. 

You have to take care of yourself to heal properly - give your body what it wants and get some rest!

Oh Jody, I envy you. In a perfect world I would have napped and done nothing, I think this is the weekend to relax, I wish I knew someone that could come in and run the business for 2 weeks but that wasn't an option.

I am going to start taking more breaks during the say and lying on my couch if only to give my body what it needs.

Ok, Melissa - your pouch is not ordering you around, but it sounds like your body is!

Sleep, girl, sleep, and take it easy on yourself!

Thanks Rebecca, I must admit I am not super woman. Lots of needed laziness in my future.

You need more than a kick in the butt girlfriend!  Your body needs to heal now before you start losing drastically and you make yourself sick. You can't even imagine how your body is going to change over the next few months and you  need to be healthy and strong. 

I know the holidays are probably not the best time to get the rest you need but it needs to be a priority......(((HUGS))))
