Wow! The last week in May! This getting old business and time passing more quickly is a little scary.
Welcome to this week's thread. Every one is welcome here. We record our physical activities for the day or week here. In doing so, we encourage each other to not give in to this disease but to keep moving our bodies. Please join us if you are so led.
I woke up this morning at 7AM to the dogs barking and heavy machinery out in the front yard rumbling and beeping. Before I even had my first cup of coffee I was making decisions, moving seedlings out of the way and weed wacking so I could get some landscape cloth down. It was not how I wanted to start my day!
I am used to a quiet leisurely beginning to my day. I still feel like I need more coffee.
Hope everyone has a good day! Karen Posts: 1689 | From Maine | Registered: Jun 2004

Kgg... I woke to children on this lovely Monday! School is out for 3 months and 1 week the boys informed me this am. Yes, I need more coffee.
Lunch time for them and I am already exhausted. It might take me a few weeks or 3 months to get a sort of routine.
Diane

esterday was a pretty good day as far as being able to do a bit. Hoping to be able to do a bit this am too.
I took 2 excedrin as without it I would be bedridden and the brain wouldn't be functioning.
9:40 am My breathing is slowly going back to normal. I carried 3 small boxes of books a short distance and put them in front of bookcases.
rick, maintenance man stopped by and fixed a few things ....he said he would pick up abx for me when he goes on his mission trip to Mexico. he leave Thursday so I need to see if I have the funds and decide which abx to get.
Able to wash the iron skillet I cooked eggs in yesterday.
Able to clean up in the kitchen a bit and start dishwasher
Hung up Monthly calendar. Hung up yearly calendar. Good to finally figure out where to put them.
Moved shoe rack into den as there was not room in bedroom. But, still need to remove plugs and steady rack.
Able to get on the floor and clean the bottom rungs of the bins and put bottom bin in.
Able to hang hats on hat/coat rack.
Slowly becoming organized. Going back and forth from feet to power chair to move my body. AS things get cleared away and organized I will last longer if I am able to do more while I let the power chair move me.
Able to make bed and put things I want to put on free table upstairs in one spot...
Thought by now, I would be done with organizing and unpacking and sorting...but looks like another week....still able to do more than i have the last 9 years.
Hoping to be out on the trail in the great outdoors next week.
Brain is doing that inflamed thing or whatever happens....but it also is about time for me to veg.
Excedrin has also worn off.
Hoping to read how and what others are doing later gator.
5 pm able to vacuum what I can see of floors...still need to empty boxes and put things away. Can't recall the last time I was able to vacuum...I hope this continues

Diane, you definitely win. I love children but they tire my brain. And now that my son is 23, I'm really not used to having them around. So my hat is off to you!
Melissa, glad you were in less pain this morning but hope it doesn't get worse as the day goes on. And I hope your son is feeling better quickly so you both can get some sleep!
KAM, I think you are doing great! I am amazed at how much you are getting done. It less stressful to be organized. So good for you!
Best, Karen

Kam you are doing awesome! Thats a lot of stuff you did!
I managed to do about 8 loads of laundry wash dry folded. It is my hardest chore. Now I need to get them put away. Hubby is home now so he said he would do it.
managed to walk to bus stop in pm. It was hard. I cleaned my cat box and hamster cage.
vaccumed and swept. Took son to doctor. He has an ear infection. ugh. I had the crazy and bad doctor who I do not trust. She didnt know what to do as far as abx were concerned.
She basically did what I said and what was done a month ago. She didnt know that it was twice a day that the meds are given. YIKES...
I also was very patient and did not yell today. I now this sounds dumb, but I tend to get very impatient and get irritated easily. so that was good.

Just read what every one wrote...now lets see if I can recall what I read....
karen...rude awakening this am
Diane..children...yep a routine would be good
Melissa....hmm...stress...hope you get to relax this evening and get a good night's sleep.
I like the part about staying calm and not yelling.
Pleasant day here today. Windows open again. No coolers running so quiet too. Whispy clouds in the sky.
Wanted to take a picture of them but when I took my sunglasses off and looked through the view finder the contrast was just not there... guess my camera needs sunglasses
Rosie did not have off leash time today. All outings were in the pc...perhaps tomorrow she will get to stretch her legs of leash.

Teachers invented summer vacation!! Otherwise we'd never survive!!! Your turn!
I walked 40 laps, did the weight and did 7 min on the machine. No arm cranks. Cranky neck still!! Not bad, but don't want it to be any worse.
It's so good to see everybody today!!

Tuesday am: be back later to catch up on what others are doing.
Unpacked 4 boxes this am. The ones in front of the bookcases. Resting now and then hoping to tackle the boxes in the den.
Not sure why...but moved the 13 boxes left to unpack in the den to the front room.
Able to get the reclining power chair in the den and the old rocking chair out of the sun (had it in the sun in the past and it was not good for the wood)
10 am now. Most likely will need to veg until after 4 pm...but a good morning...
just the excedrin alone was not working so went to nearby convenience store via power chair and got a double expess starbucks...that did the trick this am
Just being able to get to the convenience store is not something I take for granted...brain and body rarely allow me to do this.
noticed when I put one more empty box outside my doorway in the hall that someone had removed the others. Guessing it was the maintenance man. Thankful for that.
4:30 pm Tried to sort through more papers but the brain has had it.
got to chill for the rest of the night along with ALW

Melissa, I would fight to keep my cool if my son was being treated by an incompetent physician. Good job keeping the temper under check. It used to upset my son when I lost it.
Lymetoo, you are right. Teachers need a break after nine months. Hope that neck is better soon!
KAM, Bob took pictures up at the Grand Canyon through his sunglasses. They were brown tinted and it really got rid of some of the glare that would have shown up. I thought the pictures looked better than the others.
I was up early again today before the heat hit. I worked around the yard for two hours. I planted a bed of impatiens, moved some rocks and gave every one a drink. It is humid today. I do not do humid. The rest of the day will be inside work.
Have a good one, everybody! Karen

Karen, I thought about using my sunglasses while I was typing that out. I will next time.
Your morning outing sounds wonderful. The humid part does not. Glad you can be indoors and be OK.
TuTu..I was just talking about that with 2 other teachers at the dog park.
That and how we did not have a clue before starting to teach how necessary breaks are.
I had worked in the corporate world 60 plus hours a week...I thought teaching would be a piece of cake for me with all the time off.
Big difference between pushing papers and teaching!
A teacher friend of mine worked one summer in order to pay cash for a car she wanted. She said she would never do that again. It was just too much.

Wed am: took 2 excedrin and waited for it to kick in. then able to walk into dog park for a toilet only visit (had park to ourselves at 6 am again.
Then able to walk into grocery store and get electric cart. Pick up a few groceries.
Doing better on the electric cart. it is still a struggle for the arms and brain...but at least able to pick up a few things. But better than Mr. Toad's wild ride.
Resting now and then hoping to clean up kitchen and unpack a box...maybe two.
10 am I am done or undone until after 4 pm most likely.
I did do the 10 min loop in the forest. I was there but not there. Needed to get Rosie out to stretch her legs....she was attacking her dog bed with a vengence this am...she needed some off leash time.
so hopefully, I will be able to do the kitchen thing and unpack a box or two this evening.

Took boys on a nature walk and did a little fishing. So glad they didn't catch anything... I don't know how to take a fish off the hook We used rubber worms and I don't do the worm thing either.
A bit too hot for me, temples and head hurt now.

That's funny about the worms and the tigger thing!
Enjoyed reading about everyone's activities!
Kam.. so true about resting in the summers. I was usually WASTED by June. Of course, I taught school while having Lyme ... 21 yrs worth.
HUGS to everyone!!

AKW...that was a busy day both mentally and physically.
I know about Kohls and SAm's club although I have not been in either...but what is Ulta?
Rosie and I were out in the reclining PC this am ...a trip to the post office...that wore me out...resting now and waiting for the excedrin to kick in ...hoping I will be able to do a few things after it kicks in.

AKW... I love those srores. I also go to the same stores. I was just at Ulta the other day. I ran out of base make-up.
Kam... Ulta is a make-up store, perfume and body lotions and hair supplys. Sounds like you have been very busy this week Kam.
Lymetoo.... hope your arm is better. I have some super glue and bandaids if you need them. What subject did you teach?
Kgg.... that stair climbing gets a little rough doesn't it. Wears me out.
me... I think I will do a few things around the house today. Boys are wearing me out. My legs are a little week from all the activity.
Everyone have a nice sunny day. Diane

Diane...I had a funny picture in my mind when I read that you had super glue and bandaids for Tutu.
A full body public service announcement for lyme disease with bandaids on so many parts of the body.
Able to sort out one of those plastic bins that had a variety of unrelated items in it.
Resting now and then hope to tackle another...but housekeeper is coming soon so hoping I will be able to hand write a to do list for her....(need to replace printer so I can communicate via the keyboard next time)
that most likely will do me in. She is just here for an hour but is a verbal processer so wears me out.
Getting a new person next week who works more independently
Also hoping to finish putting away the misc set aside stuff I got from teh plastic bin...have another box started of paper work that I will sort through as my last project.
I do think I am doing well enough now I can set up my own files for the first time in 9 years. Cool.
So both, mental and physical work this am.

Today I finished my 26th year of teaching teenagers the fine subjects of science and Language Arts (writing).
I just bought a new mountain bike with wide tires for better balance. Probably give myself a few days to recover from teaching and then start a walking program and biking program.
Of course, I have been pushing the lawn mower around my 1/3 acre once a week now for a month, planted the garden and flowers.
I am ready for summer, but not a hot one.
Blessings. Hiker53

Thursday-2 hours of grass cutting. Cleaned one bath tub and did a pedicure and manicure.
I'm wiped out!
Kam-MDW005 is right on about Ulta being a store that sells cosmetics, lotions, hair and nail supplies and has a salon.
A young lady that I worked with in April recommended that I go there so I just started shopping there.
Am so much in need of a makeover!
The first time I went in I was slightly overwhelmed.
So many beauty products to choose from. Some things I wasn't very familiar with.
Trying to sharpen up my image because I'm trying to go back to work.
Wish me luck!

enjoyed reading what everyone has been doing! For me today was a bad day pain wise and that overall sick feeling.
I did manage to bring one of our hamsters to my sons preschool class for pet day. The kids went wild. Of course this sent my nervous system into overdrive. they swarmed me and invaded my space..lol. they were allowed to pet the hamster. so they all were shoving their hands in the hammys face, but the hammy was tolerant.
short visit maybe 10 minutes, glad it was over
so after that I was in bed; didnt do much else,
but got a busy weekend ahead of me,

MDW... I taught EVERYTHING ... as an elementary teacher would say!! Taught 4th grade most of the time. Have taught 1st thru 5th one time or another.
Good to see you, hiker!! Yippeee!! A mountain bike!
No real exercise for me today.. had to do some shopping. Nothing exciting.

Wow. Every one has been busy.
If I went into an Ulta store I would be sick for hours. Chemical sensitive here. The most make up I wear is mascara and it has to be hypo allergenic. I am about as low maintenance as one can get.
Yesterday I transplanted my Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli. Today will be more of the same. I finally convinced my husband I need a garden cart. It took too-many-to-count trips to the garden shed to get everything I needed. Found a cheap imitation of the Garden Way cart for $79. Typically they are close to $300. Can't wait for it to arrive.
Good luck with the job hunt, Aklnwlf!
Melissa, hope you feel better today.
Hiker, you deserve some kind of award working with teenagers. That takes a special person. I tend to be more like Lymetoo, preferring grades 1-5 when I taught short term.
As soon as the camera is charged I hope to get some garden pictures to share. This spring has been so nice compared to last year which was 2 straight months of rain.
Topaz! Are you OK?
Diane, hang in there with all of the kids. I remember rolling skating with Mark one year. Had a blast! Could barely walk the next day. I was amazed at all of the muscles I had not been using that were then sore.
KAM, I really like how the brain is waking up. For you to be able to do paperwork is great!
Have a good day everyone!

AKW...ah the transition from low health back to high enough health to return to work.
Do they have a non toxic, non animal testing section at this store?? I had no idea how toxic some of those products were until I came down sick nor was I aware of the animal testing....
..well kind of aware of the animal testing but not to the extent that it was abusive...I thought how could it hurt the animal. I was wrong.
...Melissa...glad you were able to get the hampster to school for sharing. Sorry it was such a rough time for you. Hope you are doing better today.
Karen...looking forward to those pictures. Glad you found a garden cart.
Friday: hoping to be able to empty the dishwasher, sort, unpack and organize another box full of misc stuff, do the laundry, vacuum, get that carcus Rosie brough home to the dumpster
..I'll be back to let you know if I was able to do one or two of these things.
Able to have some GF toast, poached egg and bacon and take meds and supplements. Couldn't have done this this morning if it were not for the indoor PC
Rested
Then put in 2 loads of laundry, took one blanket out to dry on its own, put a load into the drier...but had to go back and start the dryer...the lights, fan noise in the laundry room is getting to me this am...also put another load into wash...but thankful I am able to do laundry this am.
Mission Accomplished. Still need to put laundry away but at las at another time.
Sorted through that box of office supplies again...I think about 3rd time trying to empty it..difficult on the brain, processing and vision...one more time and I most likely will have it...found 6 staplers...looking for staples now then I will know which couple to keep
Took 2 excedrin after breakfast as the brain just was not co operating...hoping it will help me to be able to do a bit more this am
Not sure if it helped or not...still have the inflamed brain thing that goes on when over doing it.
Rest time now until after 4ish
Able to get the laundry put away. Hot here now. Thinking I will open the windows, etc in the early am and then close them in order to have things cooler tomorrow.

Kgg... I guess I am sorta high maintenance, I'm a lip stick kinda gal, I have chemical sensitivities just not as severe on some days and most of what I wear is Hypo.LOL I run in the store and out. I know where everything is that I use.
Merrygirl... the good ole days, I remember pre-k pet day with the boys... fire belly toads, bird and hamsters.
AKW... good wishes for the job hunt.
Kam... two thumbs up for you, you are doing great.
Lymetoo... nothing exciting... good for the brain and body to take a rest.
Me... taking the boys frisbee golfing, it will be a good walk for me. I will have to wear my sun hat today, another 90 degree day.
Have a good Friday. Already? Where did the week go?

I can hear the seagulls now kayak and smell the beach air and feel the cool sand at the shoreline under my feet!
I miss going to the beach during a full moon and watching the diamonds on the water as they reflect the moon's light.
Glad to hear you are taking care of you and you made it safely.
Sat: able to take a sit down shower this am and put clean clothes on.
Cruised over to farmer's market in my power chair but brain was not working well enough to make any purchases.
11 boxes left to sort, clean, unpack and organize. I will be glad when the boxes are off of the front room floor.
Looks like I need to get up and take excedrin this am. Sure hope it helps the brain be able to work well enough to unpack a box or two.

Welcome to our little club, randi!! Good job on the exercise and weight loss!
kayak... glad you got back to NJ and are settling in!
kam... 11 boxes.. That is good!!! Almost done!!
I walked 40 laps Friday and did 6 min on the machine along with a few min on arm cranks and then some weights.
Hurt my left shoulder yesterday cleaning my husband's shower. All I did was scrub for like a minute or two .. should have just stayed with my stronger right arm, darn it!
Still have my shower to clean and a floor or two to scrub before my brother and sister-in-law come next week.
Come on over for a cleaning party!!

Congratulations, Randibear! Two minutes would put me in bed for the day. So I was really impressed when you said that 10 minutes was what you were doing right now. Good job on the weight loss!
I am almost done with planting the garden. I still have lettuce and radishes seeds to plant and then I think I am done. Then back to weeding...
It has been a hard push to get the garden in this weekend. I have been falling asleep at 8 PM every night. That is two hours earlier for me.
What a beautiful weekend we have had, as we remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. I am grateful.
Best, Karen
