Sore Muscle Pain

I am Very tired. Actually, I would say I am more along the lines fatigued out of gourd. My muscles in my arms and legs are really sore from doing those bushes yesterday. what a toll that had on my body, and I feel it today.

A few tylenol first, then I am going to get myself something to eat. I need to keep a healthy balance and make sure I get enough nutrients.

Then slowly I will drift off to the silence of my dreamfilled sleep.

Better

Well, I have been moving around for a little bit now, and I can say I do feel better than where at was at yesterday. The only thing I have is some tiredness and a little congestion and phlegm that I cannot get to come up. I am not getting so out of breath as I have been.

Only Time Will Tell

I'm feeling much better today. Last nights sleep was crap, which ran into this mornings crappy sleep. But I am up, and have had my cup of coffee, and I am doing a lot better. My muscles are really tired and sore today. It feels like I did an extensive workout at the gym. My skin has become on the edge of dry, but I have such a hard time with the scents of lotion, that if I use them, I sniffle and have a plugged up nose. Don't even think about mentioning that there are non-scented lotions, I can smell those, and they get me all sniffly too.

My headaches have ceased to exist and I don't seem to be having a shortness of breath when I go up the stairs.

I have a few things to do today. I am driving my sponsor to a doctors appointment and later on I have my tuesday meeting. I wonder if my body will allow me to anything else today?

Only time will tell...
