I make a list each morning, of what I want to accomplish for the day. I’ve always done this. I put about ten things on my list today, several of them were very sedentary projects. I did manage a few more entries on eBird, I got a payment ready to send out, I made my required weekly call into work, and sent an email to my sister, Sandi. On the slightly more ambitious side, I filled the bird feeders, set the clean bathmats back into place, and washed the few morning dishes. After those low-energy projects, I found myself exhausted, and ready to sink back onto the couch. Yesterday’s outing was so nice, and I needed to get out, but I guess it might have been too much too soon, and so I’ll take it easy the rest of this day.
I feel like I have a very short time to get back to the energy level I was at before surgery. My job keeps me on my feet eight hours a day, with a lot of lifting and lugging. I’m nowhere near ready for that, and only four short weeks left to get there.
