Trying Not To Feel Overwhelmed

I'm sure its just my immune system battling two foes at once, but I feel like I can't get my groove back.

Yesterday on my way to work, I stopped to see if Costco had any mattresses. After the drive in, I felt almost too tired and weak to walk around the giant wholesaler. I had to rest in my car with the air on for a few minutes. I treated myself to a frozen yogurt and that helped.

We decided not to sleep on the futon, and slept in our guest room instead. I slept okay, but I'm anxious to find a new mattress more than ever now. The Dick Van Dyke separate bed style is too depressing.

My spider bite is a little bit better, but I did wake up with muscle soreness. That could be from sleeping in a new bed though. My head cold reminded me its still lingering around too.

Its frustrating being run down when I have so much to do. I've decided before we get a new mattress, we need to clean and paint our bedroom. With DH working again, I'm on my own until the weekend arrives.

Today I'm hoping to drop the boys off at their friend's house and try to get some cleaning done. The reality is, I'll be more tempted to curl up in my Mary Tyler Moore bed and sleep until I have to leave for work.

Being run down, I feel even more, how important it is to have a clutter free world surrounding you. It's difficult enough to find the energy to clean, but knowing first you have move stuff around feels overwhelming. When you don't feel well, you want your nest to be a comforting place. Right now, I feel displaced.

I'll take things one step at a time. I'll try not to focus on the end result, but just on what's in front of me at the moment. I'll take those breaks when I need them and remember to listen to my body.
