OK, we're recovering from the weekend madness of yard work. I really didn't want to go shopping this morning, but it was that day. We hit Walmart, which left me disgusted. They didn't have half of what I needed. Begrudgingly, we went to the other store & went through it. They had what we needed, but I really was not up to the 2nd trip. I was tired, sore & irritated at Walmart for making this extra effort necessary.
1 of the earliest things I learned about living with HIV, was not to push things too far. I don't care how good you may feel that day, if you keep pushing your limits, you're going to find out how rough living with HIV can be. I try not to exhaust myself. I don't want to get physically or mentally worn down. That will only lead to me getting sick. Getting sick (any kind) only jeopardizes my overall health.
Even if I think I can do it all, I have to remind myself, doing it can have a severe cost. Living as a + person, you have to get to know your limits. It's OK to occasionally push them & see if you can gain more strength. But, pushing too far will be problematic.
I'm tired & sore, I know I need to back off a bit for a day or so. If not, I'll only get worse. That's life with HIV.
Cya...
