feeling better

Monday and half of Tuesday this week have turned out to be a bit of a wash-up. I felt so crappy on Monday that I only worked three hours (and thank goddess I have the flexibility to do that sort of thing). I went home, vegged for a bit, had a nap, and then actually managed to get the floors swept and mopped, but that was about the only thing I accomplished. On Tuesday, I made the really dumb choice of wearing a pair of pants that make me feel like a sausage stuffed into a casing that's too small, and a shirt that doesn't fit too well either, so while I managed a full 6 hour day at work, I spent it feeling really gross. Despite needing to put in three extra hours that I didn't work on Monday, I only did my regular 6 hours yesterday, so that I could get home ASAP and change my clothes. After I did so, I relaxed for a little while, but then found some motivation somewhere, and managed to accomplish quite a bit last night. There's still more to be done, but I'm making progress.

Today, I was smart and wore clothes that fit properly and have stretch to them (and I even mended my black pants before I wore them, so they don't have the 2 torn seams they've had for the past while), and after a good 9 1/2 hour sleep last night, I am feeling MUCH better and much more motivated. I even managed to pack a mostly healthy lunch this morning too. I am planning to put in one of the three make-up hours in today, and stay until 3 instead of 2, and fortunately I'm on backup for tonight's raid, so I can just be logged in just in case I'm needed, but go off and do other things as long as I'm within earshot of the computer.

Don't forget it's Mother's Day this weekend! I bought a rather cute card on the weekend, and will be putting it in the mail today, but my mom's gift will have to be a bit late as I haven't had a chance to go shopping at all lately. My mother ALWAYS needs new clothes, so I'm going to go pick up a couple cute shirts for her sometime soon.
