Moderate difficulty waking up today. Physically awake, but mentally wasn't the least bit alert. 5 minutes late to work.
Mild pain in shoulders and hips, but odd traveling/stabbing pain in right knee, left elbow.
New chair makes my desk uncomfortable. Sitting higher to make the correct 90 degree angle w/ ankles, hips, knees makes the desk feel too low. Makes me slouch forward, aggravating neck pain. I also feel like I'm sliding out the front of my chair. Wish it was adjustable to tilt my hips up.
Up and functioning but not the least bit motivated. This is the worst kind of fatigue. I want a nap.
Finally feel kind of recovered from the weekend. I pushed myself way to hard last month and crashed on Monday. Had to call in to work. Slept in and watched movies all day. Finally felt rested that evening. Considering how hard I pushed myself Friday-Sunday, I'm surprised it didn't take longer. Half-day at work on Friday, dentist appt, and errands for shopping for youth group project. Drove to Corpus Friday night, woke up early Saturday for more errands & confession. (On the run for 6+ hrs!) Drove back Sunday 6 am to make in time for church at 10:30. Crashed for a nap but had to get back up to go back to church. Didn't get home till 10:30ish after youth group. I didn't realize until 8am Monday morning that I had (for all intents and purposes) completely immobilized myself.
Forgot meds at home also. Went all day Mon w/o Rx and felt the effects Tuesday AM. Pushed through it, had to go to work. I looked horrible. Folks mailed the meds and I got them that evening. I was fatigued but found the motivation to do a load of laundry from start to finish once they kicked in.
Another long weekend this weekend and I'm already feeling drained. Event tonight, Friday, all day Saturday, and YG on Sunday. I'd better take it easy tomorrow if I want to survive it.
I should look into getting FMLA once my one year anniversary kicks in. Maybe then I won't have to worry about taking a day off to recuperate…
Btw, traveling/stabbing pain moved out of elbow and back to right knee.
