Back to Work = Exhaustion!

After 2 weeks of being bored out of my mind at home I got to go back to work. All the while being told, "take it easy" and "don't do to much". Well of course, I didn't because I as not nearly up for anything. With the pain and (yuck!) draining I didnt get much done in or outside of my home.

Now most people kind of ease back into work and try not to overdo it the 1st week back. Not me! I came back to work in full force. It's too much to get into by my 5 day stretch then 2 more days then 4 days off turned into 8 days in a row (with 6 days being 10-12 hrs a piece). I got home from work on Thursday night and I was so tired I fell asleep on the couch before grey's anatomy! I pulled myself off the couch at 6am long enough to let the dog out and feed the vicious guard cats before falling into my real bed. It was so nice and comfy. My dog was so good and stayed by my side as I slept the day away from sheer exhaustion. I'm surprised the poor dog still likes me since as I write this I am back to work after my not-nearly-long-enough weekend to work some more.

I took it easy, as I am still healing, that was until my sister called and said she was coming to visit. To be honest I did as little as possible since surgery since I didn't dare do anymore damage to my poor body. Well that didn't work. Apparently bending over to sweep & mop, oh yeah and litter boxes was not a good idea! I was so doggone tired & sore that when my sister called to tell me she had to turn around due to car problems I was a little relieved. Don't get me wrong,I LOVE my sister and niece deerly but it's hard enough to try to rest & heal without others around. My little button Adrianna, is so big and I knew I wouldnt be able to lift her. Ya know those times I have had to get her off the counter cuz she chased the cats up there and wanted to be near them. Duh! What better place to be near them than by their food dish! Plus there is the whole swimming issue. I can't swim with my incision still open. I miss that hot tub so much! I am way overdue for that hot tub on my back.

I didn't get to weigh in at tops on Tuesday but because of the weather it was cancelled. I would have happily weighed in anyway but no one else would have been there. And after getting a flat tire on the way to work I really couldn't anything short of a 5lbs loss. lol. So I will update after next weigh in.

But until next time!.
