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.
