Phew

My walk yesterday seemed a little easier but it still took a lot out of me. And that's fine except that it means I am not getting a lot done. I did go grocery shopping too yesterday but then I was beat. So today I think I am going to mow the lawn and do some heavy housework. And then we'll see how I feel. Maybe I'll go ahead with the walk, maybe just an exercise DVD here at home. But I need to make this place tidy and I gotta do some laundry too. I know the walks eventually won't sap every ounce of my energy but until that time comes I'm going to have to take "rest" days here and there to get things done.


I always envy people who enjoy cleaning and yard work. I wish that I did. I enjoy the results but not enough to motivate me. When others write so cheerfully about fresh linens and scrubbing the floor and sparkling dishes it sounds so lovely. But actually scrubbing floors really isn't lovely. I had a mom come over the other day to see if her son was here and take him home for dinner and I was mortified. My kids trash my living room so thoroughly and so quickly. I apologized but felt like such a freak. Fortunately, her little fella was back over the next day so she must not have found it too frightful.

Enough blogging, time to put on my cleaning uniform and get to work!
