No matter what I do, I can't seem to get ahead of my exhaustion. I am trying. I actually skipped blogging last night because I was so tired I could not keep my eyes open.
Friday I worked hard on a wedding dress and had a try on and we are on the right track so that was good. I found my self laying down right after the 5:30 fitting and taking a nap.
Saturday I was up fairly early and down to Lil sis's as she was going to do my hair and give me a trim. While I was waiting for the dye to set I helped her make a shrimp salad and the fillings for two kinds of sandwiches. She is hosting a tea party for a mother of one of her friends. We did all the cooking and will assemble the sandwiches before the party.
The first time Lil sis did my hair it did not take. In fact it was worse than when we started. This has never happened before. We think the developer was old . So we had to redo the whole top of my head. Then she trimmed my mangy mane. My hair grows so fast it is crazy. But it looks really nice now.
I came home and threw together a pumpkin pie and a pumpkin custard. I had a pie shell and some frozen pumpkin and acorn squash I wanted to get out of the freezer. After I got that out of the oven I crashed and took a four hour nap. I had put chicken legs in the oven and told hubs to take them out and make a salad. Of course he did not make a salad. For some reason the man has forgotten how to chop. But boy he will let me do it.
When I woke, we went to wal mart as I had failed to buy eggs when we went on Wednesday, and we were down to two. Also had to get dog food. as we were out. On the way home (it was dark) we saw a skunk running across the road. I just missed running it over and it sprayed the car. So I am parking it outside as it smelled so bad and I don't want it is the garage. I wonder how long it is going to take to have that abate?
We may have to take it in for a wash tomorrow.
We have conference today, but will listen on our phones. We are also going to look at a house with our youngest daughter. I think it is very over priced. Then back down to help Lil sis make her tea sandwiches. I really need to take along walk, but I bet I get in a long nap. I am just so flippin tired.
Have a peaceful and restful Sabbath.
Kim
I would stay in bed for two days, except for doing the sewing that is required. I would not leave the house nor do any housework, nor cook and tell everyone in family you are ill and cannot see them. Just rest as much as possible for two days, and if that does not fix it, then doctor time would be needed. Hope you get some rest and feel better soon. I had mono a few years ago and it was dreadful.
ReplyDeleteWell I am certainly going to watch this as it is not normal for me to be this tired.
DeleteMe thinks you try too hard! You need to give yourself a break and realize there is always tomorrow. AND IF NOT - well it won't matter!
ReplyDeleteGive yourself some me time each and every day. YOU are important and are needed and loved.
Well I actually told my daughter I was not coming up yesterday as I needed a nap more than her.
DeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteI understand not being able to beat the exhaustion. I am up to two naps a day! Take care. All these people who need you may have to do without you for a few days!
Believe me I am getting there.
DeleteI am so sorry. I agree with Cindy; I think you need to take care of yourself for a few days. Don't worry about blogging, we will be here when you are rested. Sending hugs and prayers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy
DeleteHope you're feeling better soon. It sounds like your body is telling you it is time to rest. Have a restful Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori!
DeleteThe reason for your exhaustion could be that you are low on Vitamin D. Have you had it checked lately?
ReplyDeleteWell if this does not let up I am going to the doctor.
DeleteHugs, girl. You need a couple of "sick" days, where you rest, go for slow walks & do no work & no family obligations. Your body is sending you some very clear signals. Make sure you are listening.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are probably right. I need to rest.
DeleteKim-People do get wore down and need to recharge. Even when you were on vacation, you weren't on vacation as you were preparing meals and doing for your family. I agree with Cindy above-give two days and do nothing but what you have to. I mean have to-income earners. I'm sure you have plenty of heat and eat, and your daughters could reverse and send meals over to you for you and hubs.
ReplyDeleteI am going to try and get more rest this next week.
DeleteSweet rest. Refreshing rest.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Thanks Deanna.
DeleteYou need to listen to what your body is trying to tell you Kim - you need to take a couple of days to just rest & recoup. I know you are probably yelling at the screen right now - I don't have two days to spar!! But if you don't listen to your body it will get worse I am telling you.
ReplyDeleteWell I am trying to get more sleep.
DeleteKim, please just rest when you feel the need to.
ReplyDelete❤️
Thanks Rhonda
DeleteI really think you need to have a good long sleep. As people keep telling me, rest and let your body tell you what it needs.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Yes, I do need to rest more.
