Blinkies & siggies ~ March 15-21

This week’s blinkies and siggies and names… I’m really behind on my “making” so I’d better get caught up thi week. I’ve actually been on the computer *less* this past week because I’m trying not to take those heavier painkillers (which were like” la-la-la-la, I can do normal stuff and not hear my body hurting”)…

overdoing it

Ok, had some conversations with Paul and also with friends and I think I’m coming to realize that my method of “take-lots-of-painkillers-so-you-can-go-on-pretending-life-is-normal” tactic is reeeeeeally not good for me or any of the people who depend on me.

So, some resolutions:

I am going to try not to “perk and drive”.

I am going to try to only use as little strength of painkiller as possible.

I am going to talk to my doctor today about alternative sleep aids.

I am going to try to stay in bed when I wake up @ 3am.

I am going to sleep when I need sleep and rest when I need rest instead of pushing on and messing things up (e.g. ending up writing really typo-filled slurred unintelligible things in my blog or on message boards).

I am going to admit that life is not “normal” right now and that if the kids have to miss out a little on special things (like cupcakes or gymnastics) because I need to recover from this accident, then that’s OK for now.

It took a lot of “overdoing it” to come to these realizations but now that I have, hopefully I can do what I can to kill that bad habit of mine once and for all. I woke up in tons and tons of pain this morning so let that serve as a reminder to myself to just stop already.
