I got a good reminder I'm not the most healthy person yesterday. Monday, I had to run to Fort Smith & get a new computer. I had to go by myself because I was expecting my meds. My roomie stayed home to sign for them. (Of course they didn't arrive until after I got home, but if she'd gone they'd been there early). Then the idiotic pharmacy screwed up my order again.
Yesterday, I had a lot of errands to run. We were just getting ready to go & then we noticed the damn tire on the van was low again. That cost an hour & a half to get fixed. What were looking for in Fort Smith was eluding us & I finally found it at the 4th store we hit. What should've taken a couple of hours, wound up taking over 5.
Between the weather, stress (from tires & change in schedule), the driving & the irritation of other people's driving I was suddenly left exhausted. I haven't done that to myself in a while & I don't plan on doing it again any time soon. I am not that healthy & even if I feel alright at the beginning of the day it doesn't mean I will halfway through it.
I pushed too much Monday & Tuesday. Nothing seemed all that big at the time, but all that little crap added up & zapped me. When I say exhausted, I don't mean tired. I mean my energy is just gone. There is no slow tapering off like when you get tired. This is like you're a vacuum cleaner someone just unplugged.
The biggest problem with this is, a single night's sleep won't remedy the situation. It may take a few days of doing little to nothing before I feel well again. I had to get trash out & I'll do some cooking, but beyond that, nothing much is getting done today. I hate it when I push myself like that. It's just another thing no one tells you about being + & in your 40's.
Cya...
