This has been a weird couple of weeks. Therapy has been difficult (the topic, not the relationship.)
Something magnificent has happened, though it has worn me out- a group similar to habitat for humanity- selected my house for one of their projects....decks repaired, cleaned, sealed, painted...weeding, mulching, grass cutting, gutters and downspouts cleaned out, etc. I was able to choose the color of paints. (Not my strong suit)
The group is called Christmas In Action. They are all done except they need to come back and replace the heavy back porch items. !!! Super excited and grateful! -
I am worn out with the activity, though. I was also watching my grandson, cooking, cleaning, doing a million dishes. DD had a small medical procedure done, so she spent one night. Grandson spent two nights. My brother came to town.
I get anxious and worn out waiting/expecting folks, though. My stamina sucks.
My T and I think I'm having Neuro fatigue...and that my brain is still coping and healing from the stroke. I also had a complete thyroidectomy and my emotions are whacked.
I was sooo fatigued yesterday...needing to go here and there...then expecting company that never showed up...That I had to MISS my therapy appointment. Now she's out for the 4th of July, too.
Anyway, back to being positive...Christmas in Action did a fabulous job. All of this helps convince my brother I can stay here (I hope). I even mowed the entire lawn myself with a push mower one day ...I had to take several breaks, but I did it! The regular lawn person couldn't do it that week and i didn't have $ to pay anyone to do it and I was so afraid of my brother saying this is proof I can't handle it...and make me move.
Anyway, he high-fived me when he found out I mowed the lawn.
Resting, now. The grandson comes back tomorrow...and we start all over again.
