Working for a school is nice when it comes to having time off. I've been off since Dec. 20th and I go back to work on the 3rd of January. Each day I've taken some time to do what I enjoy doing these days and that is painting. Yesterday I painted and then spent the other half of the day in the kitchen. I made chicken tortilla soup. My kids love it and my oldest asked me if I would make some so that she could take some home. Its makes a bunch so there is plenty for all my kids to take some and for us to have some here at the house too. My son was super excited when I snapped him a pic of it. My heart is happy when I can make my kids happy with little things like soup.
Today however I'm feeling under the weather and I don't know if I'm going to get much done today. I'm not even sure if I will paint. I want to but at the same time I probably should take the day to get better so I'm not really sick for the rest of the weekend with the kids coming and the holidays and such.
I'm also finding myself really struggling with not feeling well in general like with my whole body, in pain and aching. I have Fibromyalgia and then last year I started dealing with osteoarthritis in my knees and I think its gone into my hands too. Everything seems to be amplified right now so I'm a walking functioning mess right now. It takes a ton out of my to be able to function so knowing that the holidays are around the corner maybe I will just take today to do nothing but lay around and try to get better.
I'm so very tired of hurting. I need to get in to a doctor at some point but the process of scheduling and waiting and all that is so much! Next week I'm going to make some phone calls and see how quick I can get into see someone and hope to start a path of some relief.
We shall see what today will bring. I'm going to start with a candle lite in the background, a cup of coffee with white chocolate peppermint and my journal and then go from there.
