Last night after staying late at work I realized that I have been feeling stressed, unwell, not great. I’m forgetting things (many, many things), having a hard time concentrating, and a lot more irritable than usual.
\nOnce I realized this, I accepted it (yay, first step!) and then was informed by my husband once I told him about it that I needed to take care of myself this weekend.<\/p>\n
For today, Friday, a day off, that meant not leaving the house until we went out for dinner (family dinner). I had great plans to grocery shop, and\/or do errands downtown, and\/or take baby for a walk. I kept planning to do these, but I let myself sleep in, enjoy time with baby, focus on playing with her, and not push things if she wasn’t quite ready to leave the house.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, husband came home early and took her for playtime in the yard, or I would be feeling badly about her missing a day of outdoors time. I still kept busy, but I was at home.<\/p>\n
Home, I also accept, is my natural habitat. Outdoors can be great but unless it’s warm (and especially if I have to bundle up a baby before leaving the house), I find it much easier and more fun to stay in. I have massive leaving-the-house inertia. In the past, I found it possible to stay indoors for days at a time. Admittedly, that’s mainly in winter, but still.<\/p>\n
Also taking care of myself: going to bed now, 9:30. I would actually be in bed if I hadn’t remembered at the very last minute that I hadn’t blogged yet.<\/p>\n
Good-night all. I wish you a good sleep!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
