Blogmas 2023 Day 8

I woke up at noon today feeling like my body was on the cusp of one of the “weakness episodes” where I’m comatose in bed for days with profound exhaustion, muscle weakness, and heart issues. This really stressed me out, because I have an insanely busy weekend coming up and I also have work I need to get done.

Eventually I was able to get up and finish some small client projects. I ended up feeling pretty good, but tried not to overdo it; I sat on the couch and wrote a solution page about data migration templates, and an article about SSA disability reconsiderations. Then I did some light yoga, watched Kiara Madisen’s new YouTube video, fell asleep for two hours, put away laundry, did the dishes/cleaned the kitchen, and washed my hair. (Lol, I don’t know what happened to not overdoing it.)

I’m wide awake because I woke up from my nap at 8, so that’s great, but I’m now eating peppermint hot cocoa gelato and going to bed with a book. Overall, I had a nice mixture of rest and productivity today–and I’m feeling very excited for a special and fun weekend! (Fingers crossed my body holds out…)

Also, please look at these screenshots from a video I sent my mom last night demonstrating how I pick up my cat, because I think they’re absolutely hilarious and deserve to be seen.

Today I’m grateful for: A client project getting pushed to January so I don’t have to think about it this month.
