Getting Things Done in Slow Motion

I have been feeling tired and slow lately. Simple tasks appear to become more complicated every day and sometimes I feel like I am not getting anything done. I was somewhat very unproductive yesterday (but I was still making a baby) and decided I had to get things done whether I felt like it or not.

So, I started by getting dressed in real clothes - not my pajamas. I headed to the grocery store and came home with lots of veggies! I cooked dinner, cleaned the kitchen, made THIS laundry detergent, cleaned the bathroom, folded the laundry and waited for John to come home. His first words upon entering our home were: "Are you ok? You look beat!"

I not only looked beat, but I felt beat.

I ended the day by taking a nice bath that definitely helped me relax! I felt light and fell asleep a few minutes after I kissed John goodnight. Sometime in the middle of the night, I turned over and heard this really loud POP. I am not sure what happened but my hips were hurting so bad I had to breathe deeply and force myself up when I had to go to the bathroom (again).

Today, I took a long (and painful) walk and now I feel like my hips might somehow fall apart. I was SO tempted to go back to bed...but I fought the temptation by making the bed, dusting the furniture and vacuuming the house. I still need to edit some photos, iron some clothes and go through a pile of papers from my high school/college years. It is time to throw away and/or recycle the million assignments I have been saving in boxes for the last few years!

Although it doesn't feel like I am being very productive it is exciting to write down the things I am slowly accomplishing everyday!
