Blogmas 2023 Day 14 (errands)

I slept hard until almost 1 PM today and woke up still exhausted. My chronic fatigue has continued to get increasingly worse and more severe over the last 8ish years. There are so many factors/causes that go into it and so many ways it affects me that it’s hard to describe. But even though I’m used to it, I was feeling more discouraged about it today than usual.

I rested in bed for another hour or two; I was nauseous and having abdominal pain, with my headache and brain fog increasing, and also realizing that my legs were numb and I couldn’t really move them. But I felt like I couldn’t cancel all of the things I needed to do today, so I pushed myself to still try to head out and do at least a couple of them.

I went to the post office (which was unnecessarily difficult and exhausting) and then went to my songwriting lesson at my music studio. I was supposed to have a Zoom voice lesson after that, but I canceled it because I was continuing to feel really rough, and I hadn’t really practiced anyway… whoops. So instead, I came home and crashed straight onto the couch. And now I need to try my best to manage a shower before bed.

Today I’m grateful for: Christmas break is in sight and I have a lot of relaxing plans involving my couch and books.
