I'm very careful about not taking anything like Benadryl that may be sedating because of the seroquel and klonopin I take and the fatigue from MS. I would have to be sure I wouldn't be driving.

I got a late start yesterday and ended up running one errand and making one phone call. My grocery list is overwhelming because of the holiday, and because my husband will be home for 4 days, but I forced myself to work on it last night. Trying to split it up into 2 trips won't work.

My plan was to go to the supermarket early this morning, but just the thought of going is turning my stomach. The longer I wait the worse it will get… I have to stop procrastinating and get in the shower.

This morning I made a list of things I have left to do between now and Thursday, and I'm not happy. I should have waited until after I got back from shopping to do that because right now it's not exactly inspiring me.

I hope that you have a nice shower!

I have been waiting to go grocery shopping also. But I will go tomorrow.
Reason is I've decided since I was in town yesterday for work, and
pick Derrick up tomorrow. To just wait and go when I get him. Then
we can go back and get his dog.

That way I have help loading.

and unloading too. :)

The supermarket will be a zoo today, Donna!!! But I can see how waiting would be worth it if it meant you could get help with your bags.

The store was packed yesterday, but I can't complain about the trip because it's my fault for waiting so long. I spent a fortune, and had a ton of bags. I ended up breaking my rule and brought some in, but there were still so many left in the trunk, my husband couldn't even tell the difference.

I have to take a look at yesterday's list and reassess what I want to get done vs. what needs to be done today because I can't do it all… it's just not realistic.

I'm going to make some cookies! I haven't baked from scratch in a long time (my stand mixer was in my father's basement), and I'll enjoy it as long as I get my chores out of the way early and I don't feel rushed. I'm just making peanut butter cookies, which will be quick and easy.

Tomorrow will be a long day for me, and I won't be able to get a nap in. I wish I could sleep in tomorrow, but no matter what I do, I always seem to get up between 5-6:30am. I can roll the dice on exhausting myself today by not taking a nap or staying up late tonight, but those things haven't always worked in the past, and I may end up much worse off tomorrow. IDK. Frustrating.

What about a short nap before cookie making?
((((HUGS))))

I chose to go early. Thankfully it wasn't as bad as it is in the evenings.

We also went to Ollie's and got some things. Got some nice Christmas things.
Also got something's at Dollar General.

Kay,

You are amazing. From what I understand here you will be spending two days
cooking. :eek:
I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving day. :heartthrob: :heartthrob: :heartthrob:

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 :eek:
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…

I am so sorry that you over did it.
glad that your thanksgiving day events with family were nice.
I bet the young ones were fun.
sorry about your peanut butter cookies..I am sure that was disappointing.
Only you can slow down and not hurt yourself.
I am sorry that corey could not help you.
Maybe order a meal from the grocery store next year?
((((((HUGS))))))
