I posted the following to my CaringBridge journal on Nov 3, 2014:
Today I'm feeling very frustrated with my limitations.
This morning I decided to vacuum the living room floor and couches. Now my muscles burn and ache as though I just completed a marathon or something.
I have been feeling good because I've been pacing myself and not overdoing it. But I worried that maybe I was too cautious. Maybe I could be doing just a little more.
This morning I saw the crumbs on the floor and in the couch cushions and thought, "I can take care of that!"
Part way through the job I felt the burn, but ignored it so I could finish what i started. And so I overdid it.
Even now, my mind still wants to keep working, but my body says stop and rest too loudly to ignore. With two boys asleep on my lap, I really have no choice but to rest.
But I'm tired of resting!
I'm bored with most of my quiet sit down activities. I want a change of pace, a change of scenery, at least some connection and company.
I'm feeling irritable and unsettled.
And my arms hurt.
Maybe I should have gone walking with Soul Runners instead...
