Tried to marathon today

I had a ton of errands to do today so I woke up early (10:30am). Yes, that's early for me due to not sleeping until 4 am.
I paid as many bills as I could online and on the phone. I proceeded to shower & eat breakfast. Dressed quickly and out the door by 12 pm. Drove 13 miles to nearby town to drop off my niece's and my computers at the repair center. Drove to the local pawn shop to check out the computers they had. I left there and took off to the next town that was 21 miles down the road. In that town I stopped to get gas, went in two banks, looked in the Dollar Tree & ATT store. At that point I was beginning to hobble with my bad foot. At last I went in Walmart. Thank goodness for the riding cart.
I had to spend two hours shopping for all I needed. A nice cashier got a helper to carry out my groceries.
AIong the way home I got supper. My mother had to help me unload the car. I had to put a cat tree together. Then I collapsed in my recliner for a rest.
When my father asked me to come and see a problem with his computer I could barely move. My foot was aching so bad I could barely stand and my back was all kinked up.
Needless to say I've spent the last few hours reclining with my spa wrap turned up on high.
When am I going to learn to behave?

This is a classic Joy Post. When ever I read something like this I don't even have to look and see who wrote it cause I know it will be joy lol. I'm going to look up over achiever in the dictionary and I bet there is a picture of you!!!

The true message of this story is you got er done as usual Joy. Way to go! Please try and pace yourself. Rest up for your next adventure.

I woke up limping some with my foot and some knee pain, but my back was better.
I know I did too much yesterday, but they had to get done.
I'm spending today resting and elevating my foot.

The thing is before getting sick that was nothing for me. I could work 7am-4pm, go to town and shop, come home, clean, grade papers, plan for next day and be ready to do it all over again the next day. I was a real go-getter.

I miss that kind of energy. Once in awhile I try to recapture that energy, but the body's not willing. I've just got to remember I'm dealing with a defective body and I need to not run it so hard.

I bought it at Walmart about a year ago. It's like a mini electric blanket you can wrap around your shoulders and upper body. It heats up to heating pad tempertures. It's better than a heating pad to me.
