I Overdid It - Tumblr Posts

My body is wracked with pain but I feel accomplished. After basically being comatose all day and night yesterday/last night.... I found myself awake early in the morning (like 6am) today.

I ended up starting a small pot of coffee, put autumn jazz ambience on the tv, and hopped in the shower. Put on comfy clothes, did my routine, poured a mug of coffee (my coffee pot is only one mug's worth in size) (also coffee normally puts me to sleep I merely like the taste and smell so not going into a coffee coma afterwards was ALSO unusual) (today was simply highly unusual) and got my eldest who had woken up way early for the day. (About 8. He normally gets up at noon.)

Threw together breakfast and sat on the couch sipping coffee in silence while eldest ate. He played for a while. I even managed to switch the laundry and wash one sinkload of dishes while he ate and played to himself.

After some time I overheated and had to sit down. Put on an educational video and finished up my coffee while he swung between playing independently and coming to me for interaction. (Something he doesn't do as often as today so it was refreshing and definitely felt like a bonding day. He prefers to play independently. So engaging me and having me actively involved in conversation and play half if not most of this time was a huge deal)

After he started getting cranky and winding down I brought him upstairs for a nap. Went back downstairs and started tackling the mountain of misc stuff behind our couch in the entryway. "Found" a lot of stuff I thought I had simply lost. But it was right there. The whole time. So while I'm super happy a lot of things were located, I'm irritated they were literally right there this whole time. (Like, for months. Uff.)

I got halfway, maybe ¾ of the way done with behind the couch before I had to call it quits. Both because my body said "okay you're done" and because it was nearing noon and I needed to get both kiddos up for the actual start of our day.

Oh I also managed to organize the entryway closet a bit and found like 4 pairs of my shoes I thought were lost and 2 pairs of my eldest's (now youngest's cuz of size) shoes I thought were gone somewhere. So again. Glad they're found but irritated they were in the entry closet the whole time.

Right now, my entire body hurts. My hands are screaming but I really wanted to post because I feel super accomplished and this kind of day does not roll around hardly EVER so I took advantage of it. (Definitely already paying the price but eh)

Your profile picture looks like it either killed someone or wants to do the deed xD

Killed someone…? Like this?

… I think I might have overdone it.
