You know, after 15 years, there are some things I WILL NEVER LEARN.
One has to do with cleaning my house. When Thursday morning rolls around, I begin to think about it and want to get started and just get it over with. This means, the first floor my house. I basically, give the kitchen a good cleaning and sanitizing, run the dishwasher (yes, thank God I have one, besides myself), dust the dining area, living room and family room, vacuum ALL floors (in the rooms mentioned and then damp mop the wood floors and scrub with hot water and cleanser, the kitchen tile floor.
Well, I started about 3 hours ago. It takes me a good three hours, mainly because the cats are shedding and that fur is "insidious". It's everywhere. Then I had a run in with a cricket when I was damp moping the floors so it was fun.
In any case, I'm in pain. But I desperately need a shower so I believe I'm going to shower and get something to eat. I need milk in the house too and coffee creamer. I guess I could ask my hubby to get that stuff.
Are you good at asking for household help with Fibro....because, I'll be perfectly honest, I AM NOT!
Right now, I'm paying for it. Every Thursday at about 4 or 5 pm, I feel this way.
I'm going to shower now, but please learn from my mistakes folks, if you're working DO NOT clean your own house! Pay someone to do it. And if you're on disability, if you have some extra money, pay someone else to do it. If not, get help from household members and if that is not an option, do a little at a time or you will pay for it, just like I am right now.
This is not good. Between last night and now, I've OVER-exerted myself and I'm pushing towards a flare. That will take me days to get over. I don't want that. Who does?
I'm going to pray that God not allow that to happen to me. In the mean time, be smart, take it slow and ask for help when you need it.
I'm trying....forever trying in this area. I struggle with it every single day.
Until later ......
Blessings.......
