Moving again Monday

Well, I think that I am feeling a little better. I think that last week I must have over done something because I have been exhausted for the last four or five days without having done much of anything. Wednesday night Kathleen and I attended our class desert for our former pastor and Thursday nigh I was out to be part of a political discussion group discussing an upcoming amendment to the state constitution.

By Friday I was pretty much comatose, I was awake...kind of, but I could hardly move out of my chair. I took a short walk, and even that did not wake me up. Saturday I was suppose to go to a discipleship meeting at church, but was worn out and I knew that I needed to be somewhat awake for Hayden's birthday party that afternoon.

I made it through the party okay, but by the time we got home I was ready to go to bed. I forced myself to stay up for a couple hours, just so that I would not be wide awake at two in the morning. Sunday I did not go to church because I still did not have any energy and I wanted to go to a memorial service of someone from church.

Kathleen had someone that she wanted to visit with for a while Sunday afternoon and I thought that they were going to meet somewhere, but about an hour before she was going to arrive I found out that she was coming over here. So I did what I could to clean up the living room and took about ten bags of stuff out to her SUV to take to Goodwill. I also vacuumed the downstairs a couple times.

Then I found out that she was coming with her husband and that they were running a little late. By this time I was too worn out to go to the memorial service and really too tired to be much of a host either, but I did not have much of a choice on the latter.

When they got here, the husband needed to go for a walk around the block, I was exhausted so I did not go, but just sat and tried to stay awake while Kathleen and her friend visited. As an aside, I had not had the time to eat lunch and by the time they left I was ready to eat anything I could get into my mouth.

On top of everything else, I have been having this really annoying pain in my left side as well as in my back area. It was not the usual back pain, but rather something inside; I deduced that it had something to do with my intestines as I was also having a lot of mucus discharge as well. Whatever it was I was totally zapped every day for the last few days.

Then when I woke up this morning, I noticed right away that I did not have the pain in my side, there was still some pain in my back, but this was more of the normal back pain. So I did have a little more energy today although my joints were really bothering me today...but that I think I can attribute to the rain that we are having today.

We did get out and drop the stuff off at Goodwill and then did some grocery shopping at Winco, but now I am pretty worn out once again, not quite like what I was all weekend, but for not having done much today I am more tired than I should be.

Well, it is about 1900 and I think that I will go upstairs and see if Kathleen is doing anything for dinner tonight. So I will just say good night now that I have caught everyone up on my last few days.
