Not a day to be frustrated!

OK...this will probably not be a 'fun' update or post...so if you want to just skip this one...I will understand. Or if you chose to read it...maybe you could also just say a quick prayer for me along the way! So today is my hubby's birthday...so it was really not a good day to be frustrated. It started with me having a hard time waking up...I knew when I stepped out of bed and felt the pain that it might be a tough day...but I just ignored it. It really is amazing how much we take for granted each day that we live...taking for granted exactly what our feet do and what our hands and arms do. And just when I think I am really getting better, I am reminded with a day like this!

I have been walking lately on MWF...so I called my friend and said that I was not going to go...but she encouraged me and I knew I needed to keep up with my routine. I did not tell her the real reason I didn't want to go...that I just felt horrible...but I went. I made it through and even made it to the grocery store and home. Then things just seemed to go downhill from there. One of those days that I couldn't open anything with these hands...a day that it hurt to lift my arms to put my hair up...a day that my wrists burned when I tried to do anything...and a day that it hurt to lift my kids. I guess that was the worst of it!

I try not to complain about it...try to just ignore it...most of the time just dealing with the pain because I have forgotten what it felt like not to have any pain. But everyone ages, and everyone aches...so I shouldn't be a baby and whine about it. But I was just frustrated today. I wanted to bake a cake (he was out of town anyway), I wanted to have the house clean but just trying to open the sippy cups to go in the dishwasher seemed to be a task. I did work in the garden a bit, and watered the yard...but didn't get everything completed.

So, you see what I mean about not a 'fun' post...I don't mean to be so negative...and normally I am not...but today was just hard, and not a day that I wanted to hurt. Tomorrow will be better...I believe that! I really have been meaning to get you an update on my wonderful garden...I love it! It is hard work...and I am still not sure how I fit the work in...but it is so nice to have those yummy veggies in my yard. So I will get a picture of what I have growing and update you soon.

Thanks for listening to me vent...I know who my faithful readers are...and I know you will be back!
