SOOO tired today...

Jun 27, 2010

I am SOOOO tired today.
I have been waking up every morning before the alarm, feeling terrific and full of energy.
Yesterday was a lot of work.
My dad came over bright and early to help me work on my yard, which has been neglected for the past 2 years and is WAY overgrown.  He limbed up all the trees; all I did was haul the cut limbs into a pile in the side yard so I can burn them another time.  But it was a good solid hour of bending, stooping, dragging huge limbs, and tossing them into a pile.
After I was covered in sweat and bright red in the face, my stepmom MADE me stop and come inside to the air conditioning, a glass of water, and a cold wash cloth.
Well, the yard looks 90% better (there are still the bushes to be trimmed) but not all of the limbs are piled up since I had to stop.  I figured I would tackle that this morning in the cool part of the day.
Well, I did't wake up until almost 9.  I went outside, dumped one load and didn't feel good.  I came in, made my breakfast shake and sat down to check emails. 
I feel like I can barely lift my arms!
My to-do list for the day was:
dishes
floors
laundry
finish picking up limbs
plant flowers from nursery (that have been waiting for 2 days now)
make necklace for friend (thank you for feeding my dogs while I had surgery)
All I want to do is go lay down!  What's up with this?????
Is it mental?   Or did I just "over do" yesterday?
Because tomorrow is my first day back at work after surgery!  I HAVE to be able to get up and get moving in the morning.  NOT an option!
I feel like I should listen to my body and just go lay down.
But I HATE to waste the very small cool part of the day (S. Texas summers are BRUTAL).
CRAP.
Well, my yard looks like hell but the limbs WILL wait until I feel better.
The dishes ARE disgusting but I'm not at risk from a health department raid so those can wait also.
MOST of the laundry can wait as long as I at least get the girlie things done so I have clean ones for work this week.
As long as I don't look down, the floors can wait.
If I water the flowers in their tiny plastic pots, they'll wait patiently on the patio table.  They waited patiently at the nursery, so what's the diff?
The necklace is a MUST.  I HAVE to thank that lovely lady.  But I can do that later today, and it's a sit down job.
Okay - decided.  I'm going to go lay down.
