Another Day of Rest

I keep reminding myself that if my body needs to rest then let it rest.  I awoke this morning with my muscles not feeling as heavy, but my joints were issuing a lot of complaints!  Felt like I had too heavy of a workout or PT session during the summer, only I did almost nothing yesterday.

This is part of being chronically ill; you cannot plan when you will need to care for your body's needs.  You cannot schedule your life without realizing that sometimes that schedule needs to be put off a day.

So my plans for today became my plans for tomorrow.  I spent much of the day on the couch, crocheted a few more dishcloths, managed a major tremors episode, and was able to gather the strength to attend my 2 hour online class in the late afternoon.  

I have a looming deadline for submitting grades.  I also have an upcoming window for the certification exam for the class series that ended tonight.  These will have to happen on time. 

But for today, I rested.  Again.
