Good news FIRST... the Dr's office called and my B12 level is up and I can back down to 2 to 3 weeks on my injections. This is GREAT news... means my stuff is working.
I'm fighting off a cold and if there were any obvious signs that I'm back to my "OLD" self again... here it is...
Right Now:
- tonight's dinner (Beef Stew) is in the crockpot and an apple pie is chilling right next to the crockpot
- tomorrow night's dinner is marinating/defrosting in the fridge
- Saturday night's dinner is also defrosting in the fridge [NOTE: Steve is in charge Friday night's dinner or that would probably be in some state of preparation]
- My sheets are in the dryer, my towels are in the wash
- I've taken part in a conference call for work
- I've skyped with my little sister while she waited for her husband to arrive at the restaurant (in Tanzania) while I put away my laundry
- I've cleaned the kitchen
- gone grocery shopping
- taken my daughter to school (buh bye!), and
- put in my day's work for the offfice
I'm somehow wired to do more than is reasonable, or expected, when I feel sick... like I need to go into overdrive to compensate for feeling cruddy and grumpy. I'm sure by 5 pm tonight, I'll be feeling wiped out... achy and grumpy times 10. I'm sure I'll feel as though I've earned it with all my overachieving. I'm sure Steve will want to plant my face in the snow (right after he eats a big bowl of beef stew).
Right about now is when I need to untie myself from the bonds of overachieving.... (hence "Overachievers UNTIE)... I definitely need to slow down and smell the coffee (which I totally would if I could breath through my nose right now!).
