Marsha's Musings: Still Haven't Learned the Fine Art of Pacing Myself

Today I am having a difficult time staying on task. Yesterday I worked very hard outdoors, knowing I would pay for it today in terms of pain. I don't know why I did that. I just wanted so badly to get those projects done. My physical therapist used to always say, "You have to pace yourself!" Well, I did not heed his words yesterday, so now I pay.

I woke at 4am with a headache and my whole body ached. So I got up and took two Tylenol and went back to bed. So far, the rest of the day hasn't been too bad. Just sore in the back, arms, neck, shoulders and my foot/ankle. I am surprised I am not worse. Curcumin does wonders for me. I've not had any more Tylenol since 4am. God is good. God is also merciful and patient with my stupidity.

Today I am taking it pretty easy. Just puttering around the house and really getting very little accomplished. That seems to be the way I do it. I work myself to death one day and spend the next day recovering. When will I learn?
