It is late afternoon on Saturday now, and I have some insight finally...maybe???? I did pretty good with the the fever for most of the day. It was really low grade...around 99.2 for a lot of the day. Here is the thing though...I really didn't do very much today. I noticed that when I was up and doing something the fever would spike to around 100 or a little more...but if I then when and hung out on the couch...it went back down. Hmmm....
So what did I do today???? I cleaned the fish tank...boring but necessary. Nate and I played Sorry and Uno....mostly fun...but he beat me :) I rested. Then Nate and I made banana bread...yummmm! At this point I wasn't feeling very well so to the couch I headed and read for awhile. At lunchtime, Jim took us to McDonald's...see totally eating crap!!!! Then went to Sam's club to pick up a few things...mainly strawberries (Nate and I are addicted!) I may go and buy a bunch more (they are so cheap right now) and make jam...haven't decided for sure yet. Then I read some more. At about 3:30 I had to muster the strength to make dinner. Jim leaves for work at 4:45 and we like to have a family dinner as often as possible.
Now dinner is finished, the kitchen is cleaned up, and the strawberries are cleaned and sliced...and I am EXHAUSTED!!!!! My temp is 100.6, and I feel like I could fall asleep while typing! My insight is this...if I could truly rest...do absolutely nothing..I would probably heal much faster. However, as a mom it is just not feasible. Nate is 7 and somewhat self sufficient, but realistically he wants my attention....and just playing games with him wears me out. What is the lesson here? Well, I am thinking that I am going to feel crappy off and on throughout the day as long as I actually have to do stuff...lol.
None of this helps my mood however. In fact, it makes it even a bit darker :(
