I remember a time not so long ago, before my health went to hell, when challenges fired me up and acted as an incentive. Now, I almost wilt before them and they ignite nothing but a disheartening procrastination.In 10 days we will be moved into our new place. I sit here after two days of painting and I wonder how the hell I'm going to do this without dying. After a day of complete rest, I'm still exhausted. There's just so much to do. This week is supposed to be dedicated to painting and next week to moving all of the small stuff over. But there's no way I can go paint today; I'll be lucky if I get my laundry done. Nothing's packed and there's still this house to clean. Who's going to load and unload all of the furniture? We have a piano, washer and dryer, dresser, and a china hutch, for crying out loud, and no one's volunteering. Hell, there IS no one to volunteer and we can't afford movers or cleaners.
I feel like crawling under a rock.

I just sent a group email to all the Realtors in the office asking if they had any strong husbands, sons, or nephews who might be able to help us. We'll see what that turns up.
And don't worry about having to cook. I'm going to get groceries tonight and it's going to be all "fend food". It's every person for themselves for the next couple of weeks--until we can get this move done. AND Heather and I will be getting into that attic tonight to begin cleaning that out.
We'll getter done.
I love you.
I love you, too.
I wish I could afford to drive out to Stillwater and give you a hand. Unfortunately, I'm stuck here in MI for the duration. My spirit is with you, for what that's worth.
Steph, have you ever been checked for vitamin D levels? The reason I ask is because my doctor, along with thyroid medication, put me on vitamin D supplement (you can just buy it over the counter - it doesn't have to be presciption vitamin D) because I was severely deficient in it. It really makes a difference in my energy levels. Give a try - it won't hurt you, and it might help.
I take a B complex as well as Vitamin A. I'll give D a try. Thanks!
just dont let it bury you. one thing at a time.. the rest will work itself out...
The reason I mention it is because I, too, suffered the same sense of being overwhelmed, frozen, procrastination, and total lack of get-up-and-go. Vitamin D has really helped. My doctor told me to take anywhere from 2000 to 4000 mg per day. I take 2000 and it has really helped.
Slyde, I'll be 58 in a couple of months and because I feel (and act, most likely) 26, it's really hard not to be able to do the things I did only five years ago. I've always been a go-getter - it's frustrating. Also, being a same-sex female couple, we don't know any big hulking men :)
I'll pick some Vitamin D when I get groceries this evening. :)
