Today has been a much better day. Obviously, the soreness continues, but my back feels so much better. I accomplished several tasks around the house that have been on my list for awhile. Although I didn’t get much done in the way of PhD work or school work, I still feel good about the day. I was up moving around, stretching and getting some exercise. I dusted the entire house, patched some holes on the doors that I am painting, painted the first coat on the doorknobs for those doors, ran extension cords to light up my mini purple tree in the office, put in weather stripping, laundry, a bit of caulking, dishes, and made my Glenndini his lunch for tomorrow. I did finish bits and pieces of paperwork type stuff, but that was it. Whew! No wonder that I am feeling a bit sleepy, lol. It felt good to feel like me again, though, and give my body a rest from sitting at the desk too much -- even if I did move slowly and have to take many breaks.
Speaking of my back, I have the best husband in the world. Sorry ladies, he is all mine. <3. We have been redecorating the house, as I’ve mentioned, and most recently made some upgrades to the office furniture. We bought a beautiful white leather desk chair that has a low profile and looks great in the room. Glenn was going to buy the second one today since Office Max was having a sale and I had a coupon (My friend Valerie would be proud, lol). Well, knowing how uncomfortable I have been, Glenn bought a more expensive chair that has lumbar support, a higher back, and arm rests. OMG, I love it!!! He is truly the best thing that has happened to me. I am such a lucky girl to have a guy who cares about me like that.
I did the first phase of “closet clean-out” tonight. Boy, did that feel great! Wasn’t able to get rid of too much yet, but a lot of things are on the cusp of being too big to wear without looking ridiculous. I will definitely need to go shopping for some school clothes when it is time to go back to work. I will have to record a fashion show for Youtube! Haha.
Alas, it is time to get some sleep. My mommy is coming to visit tomorrow and I want to be awake enough to enjoy her company. So until tomorrow. . .
My awesome chair!

ReplyDeleteHey lady,
ReplyDeleteYes, it does feel better when I move more. I think all of the sitting that I've done in the past week has really thrown it for a loop. Pureed food should happen this weekend. I am not nervous; I have pretty great guidelines from the Bariatric Center. I do have to remember to eat slower and chew, chew, chew once I start to get into real food again. That's my biggest thing. I am so used to eating on the run, but now I need to focus on eating and do it right! See you soon! are you going to the show on the 15th?
