Positive Things I've done today #5

I got up early (530) to go to Starbucks before my 815 Dr appointment this morning. I didn't get here till 615. Took me a few to get out the door-- don't know why. We'll see what the rest of the day brings

Still early early. But I've already done some journalling and my CBT assignment for the day.

Raced penguins

Waaaah? What is that?

Did three loads of laundry
Put up more pictures on Flickr
Wrote two poems

I tend to need a nap during the day too. Result of taking pills. Exercise helps with some energy but I still need a nap.

Wished someone a Happy Birthday
Ate an orange to combat lingering cough
Brushed my teeth
Drank hot coca to feel better
Hugged my hubby

Ran errands all day, went to Michaels to get wool for hats for the homeless, looked around in the thrift shops, picked up my prescriptions, went to visit the cats at the local shelter and give them some lovies

Went to work despite extreme pain all over my body from a flare-up of Fibromyalgia. Tramadol helped with the pain but it is still heavy going with a busy workday on my feet, frantically running around. I see this as a positive as I previously would have called in sick but am actually managing ok pushing through. Will try and rest a bit tomorrow if I can. The extra money is very helpful too, especially when Sundays get time and a half pay. Trying to find the balance between overdoing it and resting too much.
