Wednesday, January 12th, I thought I had been run over by a semi. The after effects of the arthrogram were quite severe. It took me a long time to get ready for work and then I had to rest. I came home in the middle of the day because the pain was making me sick to my stomach, but I rested and went back to finish the job I was working on. It would have been easy to say "Fooey" and not complete an accomplishment that evening, but that would have started a downward spiral. I decided instead to take an extra Aleve, wait a little while and then start on my accomplishment #12.
Accomplishment #12 was that I cooked dinner for Loni (even though she offered to bring dinner) making Spinach Salsa Burritos and then I cleaned the kitchen. I even scrubbed the skillet and some cookie sheets. After Loni left I also cleaned out another small area of my bedroom.
On Thursday, accomplishment #13 included washing a load of jeans (even included some of the oldest's and his girlfriend's laundry), washed up the kitchen from the youngest making muffins, and worked a little more in my bedroom before retiring for the night.
I am quite pleased with how well I am keeping up with my daily accomplishments. It makes me feel better mentally, and keeps everything from piling up around me.
I am even keeping up with the junk mail on a regular basis.
I need to come up with a spot for important items besides the spice rack. I had to put the cd of images from my arthrogram in there so that I would remember where it was when I go back to the Dr. That seems to be the only place I can remember to look for things. Maybe I need to find something to hang on the wall under it to put important letters and things in so that I can leave the spice rack alone and be able to find my spices when I cook.
