 I had a day of self care. I didn’t have to work. I gave myself a facial, whitened my teeth, put on my eye lash serum and then felt fancy the rest of the day. 

I was supposed to be finishing up working on the camper. I had a headache most of the day and was sore from my work yesterday. I decided it was best for me to go shopping instead. There were a few things I needed to complete our transformation of our den. We are getting new chairs that the pleather isn’t pealing off. They will be far simpler. Not a chair to fall asleep in or anything.

I am trying to simplify the house. But it just feels like we have all this stuff. I just want the clutter to be controlled.

I went to physical therapy today. I was given strength building exercises. They are things I can handle. If I don’t do them, I will only hurt myself. That is pretty motivating. I am tired of hurting. I am tired of not sitting. I just want my mobility back. 

Avery reported that Jiminy is loving the college life. She said he isn’t getting any smarter, but he has partied hard with all the room mates loving on him.

Ethan is missing Jiminy. He doesn’t like that Jiminy is with Avery. He said that it was weird sleeping without Jiminy.

Paul left for work this morning. We had our coffee together for about 20 minutes. He texted me this afternoon that he was going to visit one of his work friends who was in town. He got home after 7 and left shortly after to get some things from Lowe’s. 

He got things situated with that and we didn’t actually converse until about 9:00 pm. I went up to bed shortly after that. Some days are just so busy like this. 

I didn’t miss work at all today. Tomorrow is going to be a doozy. I sometimes feel like time off is a punishment to myself. I have to work extra hard to dig out of the whole that has accumulated. Hopefully I will have a swift recovery day.
