I have been doing pretty well with my chores around here the past few days. Yes, I have restarted my planner. I have trouble keeping up with the planning thing, but I recall that old adage "Failure to plan is planning to fail". And, for me, that's true. So, circumstances drive me back to the planner time and time again.
I have a feeling today will not be very successful. My back is really hurting. Have you ever noticed how much of what needs to be done around the house requires bending? For example: making the bed, loading or unloading the dishwasher, cleaning the toilet, cleaning the fridge, putting away the freshly laundered clothes, and on and on.
Today is one of those days where the only way to escape the pain is to lie down. Sitting hurts, walking hurts, standing still hurts, and so on. And, if I bend, it's a slow and very painful process to straighten up.
As the weather has started to warm up, I've been back to working outside. That's a lot of bending too. I only do 10 minutes a day, but at the end of that, I am so pain-ridden, I am not sure if I can make it back to the front door to go inside. And, once inside the front door, it's straight to a chair. That way if my legs give out, I won't fall!
So, I'm going to look long and hard at my planner to see what I CAN do vs. what I'd planned to do. I suspect mucho prayer will be required, no matter what I attempt............
