I knew I'd be paying for the trip to London yesterday in emptying out of the depleted battery of energy. I did have a great day, and keep smiling about the memories I have made with my teen daughter before she sets off on her own direction without me.
I managed to walk the dog this morning and drive my daughter to school before having to limit myself to a sofa morning. My to do list is mostly undone - except I did manage to put my clothes away! Hoorah!!
That little bit of activity emptied the battery and I am hoping another day of rest will put me back on track with at least some recharge!!!

Sometimes the benefits gained from excessive energy expenditure are worth the flat batteries for afterwards - it is a calculation we have to make with eyes wide open isn't it? I'm off to my Bay City Rollers concert Wednesday night ... I know it will leave me knackered into the weekend - but it will be so worth it!
I loved Bay City Rollers in my day. Eric was my favouite. I hope you have a blazt. Save your energy up for going & then some more time out when you get back.
Glad you managed to have a brilliant day with your daughter
I've done the same thing myself yesterday Suzy! Sometimes we just can't help it, especially if it's something wonderful like precious time with your daughter!
We recently moved house and yesterday I unpacked too many boxes, too much lifting and stretching, putting things here, there and everywhere and then hoovering the house. Straight into making a complicated recipe for dinner without a rest in between! As a result today my body is rebelling! There isn't a part of me that isn't reminding me about the joys of Fibro and CFS/ME!
Today is a lazy day! I need to do a bit of washing and ironing but can use my wonderful press, so no standing around for me. I will sit down at my dining table pressing away whilst watching an old film! Will set myself a maximum of ironing 6 things and then have a cuppa and chill out in our lovely forum. Might even have a nap! I want to cook hubby a nice dinner when he comes home and don't want to feel like this later on today.
I think I did a bit of booming and busting, so it's a slow down for Libs today! Hope everyone manages to have a good day today with rest periods in between if they can manage it!
Happy Tuesday everyone!
Hi Suzy Sparkle
We are all guilty of doing these we things & I feel we owe it to ourseleves to habe some form of enjoyment.
I usually try to rest plenty before hand & then some afterwards..
We will never change as we seem to carry on regardless. I can flatten my battery just my putting a washload on, but then I look back and think it is one less job I have to do. But I am glad you had a great day xxxxx
