DH didn't even notice when I crawled out of bed at 2am, to curl up on the couch, plotting ways that I might be sick without making so much noise as to wake everyone up. What I finally determined was that I would close their bedroom doors when I had a space of time when I thought I could walk. Then, if I had to run, all bases would be covered. It's funny, the silly things that I think about in the wee hours of morning. Instead, I spent a good portion of time on the couch, praying for relief. The Lord is good, and I was able to fall asleep at about 3:30am. I'm still feeling funky, but not so bad. I just kept praying because I knew that DH wouldn't take a day off of work to take care of DD (or me. lol), and I didn't know how to make it through a day if I couldn't get out of the bathroom. God has been so good to me though, and I am feeling passably better.
I have a dry-erase board where I write my chores for the day, and whatever I need to get from the grocery store. Today's board is going to be pretty empty. I have managed some small chores though, such as feeding the animals and cleaning the cat box. Hey, my bed is *almost* made, too. lol (so, it's not perfectly straight..) I could use a day off anyway, after working so hard yesterday.
Still sticking to his guns in a weird way, DH still insists that I cannot have a birthday party. Well, I'm not, but I am hosting a party for my niece tomorrow. I have to have DH stop by the store and get me some more olive oil though, as I ran out. I still have a cake to make and decorate some time today, and a present to wrap. In preparation for the party, I moved around our furniture yesterday and cleaned our livingroom very well. The room looks bigger now, and there will be room for my rowing machine against an empty wall, when it arrives.
DH thought that I was goofy at first, for wanting the rowing machine in the livingroom, but then he agreed that it was best to have it in sight all of the time if I hope to use it frequently. Sure, it isn't the most attractive conversation piece, but it does put me in a very good position for exercising while watching tv, instead of eating. If I have a bored moment, I can hop right on for 10 minutes here and there. I just pray for the strength to be diligent in caring for my body as the Lord wants me to. Hopefully it will strengthen my knee too. I almost broke down and went for the pain meds the night before last, all because of pain from a stroll around the neighborhood with DD. That makes me feel like a wimp.
Anywho, that is enough rambling for now. The couch is calling out to me, and laying down for a while sounds like bliss. At least I will have some time to read today, and work on my crocheting and sewing. They are the last things to get done any more.
