Reminder to self: I do enough.
I asked Kay yesterday if she could please encourage me to rest, because yesterday I was in a lot of pain. So she did.
Today, we've only all just woken up, she is fresh out of the shower, and she's already in a bad mood about everything I haven't done.
The temptation to get down on myself is pretty great. I can already feel my good feelings going away and being replaced by self-loathing.
STOP!
No. Don't let this bring me down.
I was exhausted and in pain yesterday. And yet I got a bag full of compostables off the floor and into the compost. I filled up the water for the plants and watered the peas sprouting. I cooked the asparagus all up and ate it. I made a plan for tomorrow to take stuff into work. Caught a mouse and let it go outside. And I booked a Zipcar for this weekend's field trip to the Foster Museum.
I got Logan prepared to go to the Academy of Sciences today. Checked my funds to make sure I could afford to renew. We can.
Kay nagged about doing laundry, said she "didn't want to sound ugly, BUT..." I will put a load in before we go. I don't have to let her bad mood bring me down.
