Invincible!

Well after a good nights sleep, a successful shopping trip and stepping out & phoning a friend & inviting another out for a picnic I thought I was invincible, I was wrong! Of course!

I woke slowing and got into the housework, washing, mopping, weeding, vaccuming, cleaning showers, wiping tables and on it goes. I didn't even finish the mopping. By 11am I was yelling at my kids, no a good sign.

I was slightly late for their school orientation, adding more tension. When I visited with
my parents in the afternoon I just sat there. I could hardly even talk & my memory didn't function properly either. I would like to have longer lasting energy, but the reality is that I do not.

Yesterday I saw a job advertised & was considering applying, today I am wiped out from some house cleaning by 11am. I need to get a realistic view of myself. I'd rather think I am OK!

So, what does a realistic view mean; I need to spread my work over the week, have a daily rest time, make time to sit and relax, not try to cram too much activity into one day...keep it simple & stressfree.

Hope I learnt something today.

I don't feel good stressed, running late, yelling or tired.

A Social Life

I need a social life, I don't have one. I am well short of friends other than family and have often felt sad about it & now it is time to act...misery seeks company? No, I need to reach outside myself and be a friend to others and keep at it until, well until forever!
Might have to join some stuff too, put myself out there. Not comfortable but neither is feeling alone, I have tried doing nothing & that didn't really work out fruitful so I need to try something else.

What should I join first?
