Quirky Bodies

So I sit here this Wednesday night, tired from a big day at work/big week.  To add insult to injury I have a small outbreak of hives. The bummer is that I would normally take Benedryl and that would kill them but I can't take it with my new medication.

Today I had to take a CPR class at work and had a very small panic attack during it.  The bummer part was that I could not leave - the lady teaching it said if anyone left they would stop the class and would not resume it until that person returned. So I sat there, in a hot room of too many people, suffering and could not escape. It was the worst!  The good news is that I used mind over matter and was able to get it under control through my thinking.  I made it through the class, passed the CPR certification and no one was the wiser.

So I sit here, at 7:55, ready for bed! ha. The other night I went to bed and the little kids were still outside playing (not mine, the neighbor's).  It reminded me of being little and having to go to bed when everyone else was still up.  Only this time I didn't care as I was happy to crawl into bed early.

This week has been really stressful, trying to launch a new business and it takes any extra energy that I have. I'm behind in some other things but I'm looking forward to Sunday when I can get caught up.

I'm thinking that although my poor dog was kenneled all day I am going to put him in the kennel and turn in soon.  I sound like an old lady sometimes. What it is is that I've learned how to take care of myself and when my body reacts and gives me hives I know that I need to relax a little bit.   So I've allowed myself some tv time tonight and plan to turn in soon.

Be good to yourself. Especially if you have any health issues. No one can do that but you. If you're tired, take care and catch some extra zz's. If you're weary, take care of yourself.  I feel this is a bit of a case of do as I say and not as I do....or I wouldn't be in the state I'm in.

Ahhhhh. God bring peace to my heart, strength to my body and joy to my soul. Only you can do this.
