My Imperfectly Made Beautiful Bed |
Today, I had an amazing energy boost! It's called The Company's Coming --Gotta Have The House Clean. This causes a chain reaction in the body better thought of as fiery fervor or excited exhilaration. And, my husband says, "Tomorrow, you're going to be exhausted with your tongue hanging out. " I have a very smart husband that knows me well. 7 grandchildren, their parents, a husband, a dog, a cat, and me -- that should wear anyone out. Both my daughters are very special, strong women. I am so proud of them. With both families here, we would have a lot more people in the house -- that would be 3 children and another set of parents. If they are all in the same room with us that would be 16 people and 2 animals. However, this time it was my elder daughter and her husband and children ages 1 year to almost 13 years.
We ate simply tonight: pizza, green beans, and ice cream. Yesterday, I told my husband it was going to have to be simple: frozen party size lasagna or pizza. Of course, the kids were thrilled with pizza.
About the house: I did the Monday House Blessing today, on Saturday. I cleaned the bathrooms, vacuumed the living room, put in a load of laundry, and I dusted. Today, I was Wonder Woman: tomorrow, I will be Goofy-tired Grandma.
How many of us fibro-peeps have always been able to manage things on an adrenalin boost? It would be interesting to get your input on that one. I know many of us have adrenal fatigue. At least those of us who have CFS and Fibromyalgia probably do. I found Dr. Marcus' website and I like his diagrams. From what I know of adrenal fatigue and cortisol, they are pretty accurate. I know this was part of my problem when I found out I had CFS. I also found a good article on adrenaline and cortisol in Living Healthy.
I love you guys, and I hope you are enjoying your weekend as much as I am enjoying mine.
Until next time,
Deborah
