The extra help is pretty much a requirement. No way I can keep this up. Been at it (as a flower...super pacing) for 2 hours and I've barely started and yet my body is nearly done. Hard to believe emptying the black water from about 6 tiles of the kitchen floor that it has been mopped in the past month. Ick. So many more 6 tiles to go...

Sorry I haven't replied sooner...I've been reading but not feeling very well lately and not able to post much. I know it feels good to get stuff done and I certainly go through stretches like this too where no matter what the cost I just need to DO stuff. And honestly...keeping busy for me is a good thing and why I still work (and can't wait to get back to it now)...keeps my mind occupied with something other than the pain. Not that the pain is less or goes away...but when all you can do is sit and think about the pain it feels so much worse. Even if there's hell to pay in the way of a flare up after...sometimes it really is worth it for that short period of normalcy.

Just remember to take care of yourself. Hugs.

Thank you for the vote of confidence and well wishes!!

At this moment, I am so incredibly grateful that my mom will be coming tomorrow after my business meeting. I worked from 8:30a - 6:30p (I DID a bit more resting today), then I took a nice long jacuzzi epsom bath. My kitchen, entryway and powder room got done today. Unfortunately, my knee/leg is NOT happy with me and I am not sure I can do anything more than answer the door & walk this lady out tomorrow. Thank goodness my mom is bringing me a chocolate bar!

wow a jacuzzi epsom bath sounds so good for an aching body. Glad you are taking care of yourself. It does the soul good to see their accomplishments, even if you do hurt later. I was feeling overwhelmed this morning and talked to hubby about some of the things I thought I had to do, just being able to talk about them shrunk them down to their real size. He offered to do one, we crossed some of those things off the list lol and broke the others down into baby bites.

How do you eat an elephant?

one bite at a time

and now that I have RSD

there is lots of resting while chewing in between. hahaha
:-)
peace
