This was due to me working over 13 hours for my main client, over an hour for another client as well as my usual ‘mother to a toddler’ type activities.
Now, I am well aware that plenty of women work 40+ hours plus their usual ‘mother to a child/ren’ type activities. But most, if not all, of them do not have my health problems.
And what not getting any rest Monday (worked, then headed to get my new varifocals
My new glasses.
and do some errands) or Wednesday (lovely morning with a good friend from England, then worked starting at 2pm, getting home at about 10pm) led to was my being flat on my back all day Friday and most of today. I was in so much pain yesterday I was in tears at dinner and Simon had to do some of bedtime.
I then had a lie in today and then went back to bed for 3 more hours while Simon and Adam headed to the park and get some groceries. And then had lunch and a very hot bath and finally feel about 95% of well.
And this is why I no longer have a full time job and doubt I ever will again. Or at least not a full time job that is 8 hours in a row 5 days a week. I could see me working that many hours, but stretched out over 7 days, in fits and starts, so I have time to rest as well.
It does make me wonder how I would be if I had been working full time when my fibromayalgia started. Would I have had to quit my job? Probably.
So no matter how much I hurt sometimes and how tired I can be, being the mummy of a toddler, I have another reason to be grateful for my son. His birth gave me the strength to strike out, open Designed To A Tee and work for myself, as and when I can.
So, thanks Adam. You rock!
Hi Tee, is Tracie from the MN meet-ups, otherwise known in various forms of TLC nicknames on MN. I’ve taken the plunge and started a blog too, is really addictive.
You definitely are busy! Much busier than I am, so I take my hat off to you, offer you a glass of wine and a bar of chocolate.
I’m actually blushing at how not busy I am at the moment, but know I’ll soon be busy again.
