Today I just feel like doing nothing, absolutely nothing. I did not even exercise in the morning and have skipped taking my shower in the morning lol! I woke up at 4:45am feeling dead tired and with a heavy head again. I went through the motions of my early morning routine — doing some housework and to get Alycia and Sherilyn ready for school. After sending them to school, I just did not feel like jogging or walking the stairs. Instead, I went back to my unit to enjoy my breakfast while reading the newspapers, in sheer peace! Then, I woke Cass up and got her ready for school. She was late as I felt too jaded to get things moving fast. After sending her off to school — no walking but took the car instead and hubs drove the car. I told him I was dead tired, sleepy and listless and only wanted to do some retail therapy at the nearby mart. Yup, the shopping queen in me gets ‘therapied’ even if it is just grocery shopping and spending money… need not necessarily be money spent on clothes, shoes and bags haha! I was even feeling too tired to cook, so hubs asked if I wanted to pack some food for lunch and I was too happy to say yes to him. So today is going to be a slow paced day for me. I ain’t going to stress myself up doing chores or heavy cooking.
Chris, you are right. I now remember that I am slightly anemic and have very low blood pressure. Since my Aunt Flow is still visiting, that is why I am feeling lethargic and moody.
My girls will have take-away noodles for lunch today and dinner will be home-made pizza bread (with roast chicken meat, tomatoes and cheese as topping) and grilled giant BBQ Portobello mushrooms, something that we agreed on during dinner last night.
Yes, don’t get yourself worked up if not feeling up to it. I used to skip gym for a whole week every month! Get some iron pills (ferrous gluconate or ferrous sulfate) and u should feel better. I was ever so glad to have a total hysterectomy (had a fibroid tumour and severe endometriosis too) and stop the monthly madness!
THanks for the advice, Chris!
