A Long Day

It was a long day.  It started out okay, but it was a busy weekend, with house work, yard work, recycling, a PT session at the pool, and a lot of reading. So, it was not the most restful weekend.

So, when I went to PT today, the therapist asked about activity over the weekend, and how it affected me.  I acknowledged that I did quite a bit, pacing myself, and it flared my lower back, but not unbearably.  It did not hurt "the spot" and shoot pain down my leg, so that was good.

The PT workout was tough today, but included several "twists" that stretch and eased my spine, so it felt good.

Work was not tough.  I spent a lot of time on my pod just watching the activity of recalcitrant patients.  Security was occupied with them, so I could not see patients, anyway.  It is helpful to know what is happening on the pod. 

The electronic medical record went down, late in the day.  So that was a bummer.

After work, I fed the cats, but left dirty dishes, cans, and the meat grinder in the sink to get to the Catholic Charities board meeting on time.  I was a little early.  It was a short meeting.

I went home and did a PT exercise that eased the back flare.

I also emptied the sink.  Then I got working on NASW banquet registration: I had an envelope with the returns I already had, and received another in the mail today.  I thought I knew where I put that envelop, but for the longest time, could not find it, so I looked elsewhere to no avail. I went back to spot one, and sure enough, there it was.  

Well, what goes around, comes around.  Our chair person had offered to accept the registrations, and I said I would, because she is not so organized.  Huh, and I thought I was? Pride goeth before a fall.

When I left the Catholic Charities board meeting tonight, I realized how very tired I was.  But as tired as I am, it takes a while to wind down. 

And, my sleep recently has been very restless. I am not sure what that is about.

We shall see what transpires, tonight. 

I am tired.
