Everyday...

Image from Jennifer Dukes Lee - Incourage.me

Trying not to think about aches and pains...little reminders that I'm not a kid anymore. I don't like it one bit. I don't feel old, but there are times that my body just laughs at my brain and says, "Hold my beer."

Working two days in a row is one of those reminders. My boss comes back tomorrow, but thankfully, today's shift and I'll be off until Friday. Before I leave for work, I'll grab two Tylenol. When I get home, it's alternating ice and heat. I'll be fine. I'm just feeling a little sorry for myself.

I'm hoping that today, all my customers reflect what I offer - Kindness. It sure makes the day go faster, and smiles are always preferable. I wish you a great day, and will offer something more needlework-y when you visit tomorrow.

    I hope the Tylenol helps.
    Don't push yourself too hard.
    Take care.

      Hi Marilyn:
      I took an anti-inflammatory before work, and a Tylenol midday. They really did help, thanks. It was a busy, but easy day. Even so, I put my feet up when I got home and added a little heat. I felt better quickly. Thanks, dear.

      Hi:
      What I used to be able to do seems to take twice as long now, but the time flies by faster. Go figure. Wednesday I'll rest. Thanks!

    Try not to work too hard today - hopefully your shift will be light.

      Hi MA:
      It was a good busy, but not too arduous. Those are good days in my book. Got home, took a load off, and feeling so much better. No shift scheduled now until Friday night. I'm happy with that. Thanks, dear.

    I had been thinking about you this past week and how your knee was doing.
    Tylenol, ice, heat and also adding a cat in the lap is a great help also.
    I think we all have that 'feel sorry for myself' from time to time. And that's
    okay, no one runs 100% all the time, no matter who holds your beer.

      Hi, Shirley:
      Yes. I'm still rotating treatments, including the cats. lol I'm not usually a "moper", but it seemed to sneak up on me yesterday. I'm over it now, and will spend the next few days doing something I love. Plus...Saturday is Craft Day!!! I can't wait.
      Thank you for your insight and wisdom, my friend. Hugs.
      xoxo
