Thank you ladies :group hug:

The new peanut butter cookie recipe was a loser. The batter was very dry, but I like to give recipes a chance as written the first time around. I should have trusted my instincts and adjusted it. It was a simple recipe, but I can't believe how slow I am now. I was very disappointed with the results because of the amount of energy I put into making them.

I left myself enough time so I could relax and enjoy making the cookies (even if I didn't enjoy the results), but I just did too much on Wednesday. I also gambled on not taking a nap, hoping I would sleep in on Thursday morning…

I did sleep in until 7am Thursday, but I woke up so completely out of it from pushing it the day before and not taking a nap that I was unsure if I'd be able to make it to dinner at my aunt's. Fortunately, I did come around and was able to go. It was very pleasant, and I enjoyed seeing my family, especially my two nephews (10 and 3). I only stayed 3 hours because I was so tired and had to get home to put our turkey in.

Once I got home I was able to relax for about an hour before I had prep the turkey. I was an uncoordinated disaster in the kitchen, and my husband's help was not helpful because he was so ****faced. Dinner turned out very good even though it was late and half of it was cold by the time all of it was ready.

I slept until 10:30am yesterday
I broke myself!!! I was barely able to stand up or raise my arms when I got up. I went back to bed somewhere around 1 and slept until 5pm. I had no problems sleeping when I went back to bed before 10 last night and I slept in past 7 this morning.

I feel much better today, but I'm still exhausted and in pain. It will take me a couple of days to recover from the damage I did.

I knew I was in over my head, but I'm still having a hard time accepting I can't do all the things I want to anymore, and I didn't think the fallout would be as bad as it was. I don't know when I will learn…
