What Did You Do For You Today???

[Britt.f7]

I let my husband sleep and did all the things he usually does in the morning. I know that sounds like something for him, but doing something for him was what I wanted to do. I needed to see that I could do it after so many months of not being able to. So it wasn't exactly selfless.

Had a nice afternoon at a beach cafe, spent a while with a friend and was fed ;-) and now I am having a glass of very good wine by myself!!!!!! Mhh, and my pup of course!

I saw a matinee of Anna Karenina, my second showing. I dragged my husband to a late showing the night before Thanksgiving and after the movie he said "I'll see it again if you want to". He never ceases to amaze me.

Now I am working on a project to turn all my vintage 40s clip on earrings into posts so I can comfortably enjoy them.

AND now I am having a chat with an old friend and it makes me smile!!!!! I finally, honestly smile ;-)

I experimented with my new camera and posted pictures of me and my family into my truama journal today. My daughter had to show me how to do it. Now I have to take pictures of my animals to post in the pet section. It felt good to post a picture here again.

Trembling, sounds good.

Yesterday, I exercised for a long time. For once, it felt great and not taxing ( I have CFS and Fibro).

I'm having a wonderful lazy day. I spent the morning lazing in bed with the dogs. It is almost 12.30pm and I'm still in my dressing gown. I will have a girlie shower with scented lotion etc.

Today is a ME day.:inlove:

Have you ever read this or been to this site: http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/category/the-spoon-theory/

It's a great site for Fibro patients or anyone with chronic illness. She has what she calls the spoon theory. Basically it is how you start out with a handful of spoons in the beginning of the day. Depending on what you do throughout the day will determine how many spoons, if any, you will have at the end of the day. When you run out of spoons you are basically depleted. She developed this theory when a friend of hers asked her what it was like to be her on an average day.

Yes, I now carry a little spoon charm on my keychain because of this story.

Hope you, or anyone else who has chronic illness or knows of someone, gets a chance to read this story. It is great. And, no, I have no affiliation to the site or to the person who wrote the story.

I went and had a much needed massage!

I used to drive like 10 miles out of town to see this person, but I'm now going to switch to the person I saw today. Boy, I needed it!:sleep:

I ran some errands, I got us mocha frappes. I got the christmas tree out and put it together and we have the lights on. It looks really pretty. Now I am just chilling.
