I just feel so discouraged. Yesterday i washed my balcony screen door down in the carwash bay. It was a big job. Today i am a mess of aches and pains and i'm out of painkiller. Just so discouraged that a simple chore could relegate me to the sidelines the next day. I so enjoyed the shower i took two days ago i was determined to take another one today. I've been lax about showering. But with these aching hands and body i don't dare. I've also been enjoying computing on the sofa but i think i have to reconsider that as well as it puts strain on my upper body, being at sharp angles, curled up in the sofa corners, operating the keyboard and lifting the computer from one sofa end to the other sofa end with one hand. Stupid, i know.
Just felt like complaining. Dismayed at how fragile i am. I guess i am getting older (56). It's only going to get worse.
Edit: I'm going to start swimming again!
Editted Again: I was reading on the "Building Good Habits" thread that ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) can be counted as exercise. So i decided i would get my ADLs under control before i pursue swimming. I've been neglecting showering and laundry. To that end i took a shower! It wasn't that hard. So niiiiiiiiice to be clean and have fluffy hair! Aces!
