Much better sleep and I feel a lot better this morning than the last couple days. I don’t know where this day is going to go just yet. I’m totally out of mental energy, so I can’t force this one. I need to just let it happen. I feel less fibro fog today though.
Well, it’s going to be a decent day. I’m upright by 11:00. It’s amazing how the body reacts to low pain/low fibromyalgia days. As soon as the pain eases up, I get upright, maybe turn on my PC, get some exercise, eat better. The only thing in that list I’ve done is get upright, but I’ll get a walk in at some point. I am drained of mental energy right now, so I need to accumulate some low pain time to refill the mental energy tank.
Short walk. Difficult to get back out there without the cane, but I got it done. Spent some time updating my linux installation on my PC. I need to get to the store. I think it’s been over a week.
Made it to the store. It went well, but I started dipping when I got home. Afternoon meds will sort that out. We have some rain passing through, so I’ll get out for another walk when we get a window.
Well, I gambled on that one and lost! Went for a walk during a break in the rain. I had the chance to turn around, but I kept going, and I got dumped on by the rain. That was the fastest walk I’ve had in modern history! I might have hurt myself from it. I’m laughing it right now. Ice pack on and ibuprofen on board. New shirt on, new socks, newspapers stuffed into my wet shoes. At least I get to laugh at myself about something.
Medium walk in the evening. It was hard, but OK. Glad to have done it. I wish I could walk 10 miles a day. I wish I could ride my exercise bike. I wish I didn’t go insane from pain on a regular basis. If I could keep the fibro flares at bay, I could make some kind of progress. I just don’t know how to do that.
