So, today I:
- got up and dressed in clean clothes and remembered to complete all hygiene (yesterday I did not)
- went to the ATM
- faxed disability papers to several doctors
- went to the dentist and got my bite plate revised so i can use with it asthma and has full face xrays taken
- contacted work trying to find out where to find my dental insurance information
- made a baby hat for an organization I'm donating them to and started another
- opened and sorted packages that came in the mail.
- deposited my disability check
- bought a tire gauge at the local hardware
- got ice cream (these last few include walking up a little block and back)
- did some laundry
- talked to my mom for a few minutes on the phone
- took a 30 minute nap
- made a big yarn ball (the only part of knitting I hate)
- developed a plan for getting help from Dr. Brain
- washed some dishes
- microwaved supper and ate a sandwich at lunch
- cried when I needed to
- made this list.
So I am not doing nothing. These posts may continue to pop up as I work on believing myself. Somehow I've convinced myself that not being well yet means I'm bad or not trying or something. My assistant called the other day allegedly with a question that really turned into "when you are coming back, I'm losing $ here" and that was really unfair and let me feeling terrible. Because right now I'd guess 3-4 weeks based on the past.
Any time to deal with laundry again.
Gosh Jen, you've been busy AND productive!
ReplyDeleteI have a blog (which no one has the address for) where I do the exact same thing. It's boring for others I think, but I document what I have done each day - especially in the summer when I have no set schedule. It gives me something tangible to look at to remind myself I am not unmotivated/worthless/lazy. I SO get it! I am also the person who, after mowing her lawn, gets in the car and drives so I can come home and SEE how nice the lawn looks. Ha!
It's not good how we judge ourselves and count ourselves as worthless. But I do the very same thing. Why I wonder (?) ---- at least we've both figured out a way to feel better about ourselves.
B.
p.s. Your lists are not boring to me. It's interesting to get a little glimpse into the every day things of your life.
ewwww - that sounded stalkerish. NOT what I meant (but I hope you would know that about me by now)
Bring on the lists!!!
I think you did a lot. Plus I look forward to your blog entries.
