Not Easy Admitting Defeat

[mythicalgirl]

Despite the head full of snot I made it the full day at work, both yesterday and today.  Got home at a decent time as I skipped the gym and found myself with several hours of sunshine left on an absolutely gorgeous day.  I ate some dinner (first time in days as sinus drainage = no appetite) and thought "I'll change out of my work duds and get my yard clothes on.  Go out and catch up with my neighbors, plant those black-eyed susan's that P- gave me, spread the mulch, and....and....and I need to sit down."

Ten minutes of coughing, wheezing, blowing my nose and just trying to freaking breathe later and I decided maybe I need to scale things back just a tad. 

The yard clothes will wait as will the plants and the mulch, etc.  My big accomplishments for this evening, besides actually eating dinner, are taking a bag of trash out to the toter and washing a load of laundry (towels).  That's it.  I'm going to sit on the couch with the finale of America's Next Top Model and a mug of tea.  Maybe read a bit if I can stay up past sundown. 

My To Do list has quite a few items on it:

• WalMart/Target/Meijer for household items and toiletries
• Lawn and Garden Center for mulch, potting soil, veggie plants/seeds
• Re-potting the house plants
• Planting the container garden
• Spreading mulch (both the 6 bags I already have plus more)
• Weeding the gardens
• Planting the black-eyed susan's
• Vacuuming the house

If I get even a quarter of that list done I'll be happy and consider it a productive weekend.  Heck, if I get just one thing on the list done I'll be happy.  As much as I'd like to get everything done I am admitting I'm sick and it just isn't going to happen. 

Maybe next weekend.
