Wow, I've really been neglecting my blog lately. There's all of the usual holiday stuff keeping me (too) busy but also a new development in my life that's both exciting and terrifying. Out of the blue, I've been offered some consulting work in my old field. Our finances have been especially tight this year, and the work is both local and flexible, so I've decided to give it a try. I've been dying to write about all this because I've been feeling so conflicted this week, but I'm just not up to it today.
I'm feeling wiped out today - sore throat, aches, the works. I woke up several times during the night soaked in sweat, too (what's that all about?). I've been pushing myself all week to do more and get things done, but today my body is leaving me no choice but to rest. Since I have a lot of trouble staying still and truly resting when there's so much to do all around me, I plan to pop in my video of "It's a Wonderful Life." It's my all-time favorite that I try to watch every holiday season. Today gives me a good excuse.
Rest and recover, and I'll write more about my scary work proposition in a day or two.
I have had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) since March 2002. Both of my sons also got ME/CFS at ages 6 and 10. Our younger son fully recovered after 10 years of mild illness. Our older son still has ME/CFS and also has Lyme disease plus two other tick infections. This blog is about how our family lives with chronic illness, with a focus on improving our conditions and enjoying our lives in spite of these challenges.
Sorry to hear you are feeling wiped out, Sue. I understand those symptoms. I do hope the work proposition is not going to be too stressful for you.
