Otherwise known as: When the Doctor Says to Be Still and Rest, She Means It
So, I’m home recovering today, and after everyone left the house, I was feeling like a fraction of my former self, which, to me, meant that I should go ahead and get things done.
I’m not a good sitter.
Also, the next few discs of Battlestar Galactica aren’t arriving until tomorrow.
So, I pulled out the fabric and decided to get sewing.
Here’s my machine (thank you, Bonnie!). I got her threaded up and was ready to go!
I had a hard time deciding what to do, but knew it would be something relatively small.
I went with cash budget envelopes.
Currently, I have bank envelopes that I use to stash cash for things we save up for, like vacations, birthdays and Christmas, and our Disney Fund. (No plans to go to Disney, but I’m saving so when it’s time, we’re prepared!)
I had seen some cute fabric cash envelopes online, and thought it might be a good first project.
I think they came out pretty well!
Not too ambitious, but just right for today.
Then, I figured I better get to work with Monkey Girl’s birthday cake, as the big day is tomorrow.
While I was baking the cake, I decided to make some chocolate chip cookies, as well.
After that, I was exhausted.
Like, couldn’t keep my eyes open exhausted.
So, I went to bed and slept for three hours.
When I woke up, I felt like I had been hit by a truck.
More specifically, I felt like my nose had been hit by a truck, and I suddenly realized that this recovery is going to be a lot like c-section recovery.
Even though I felt fine to do the stairs in the moment when recovering from the c-sections, a few hours later, I was feeling the effects.
Same thing here, although I do find it hard to see the connection between sewing and baking and my nose.
Can’t argue the pain, though.
So, I got a lot done today, but tomorrow, I’ll follow doctors orders and just rest.
Eyes on the prize.
A little rest now will equal feeling fabulous later on.
Although, maybe a little sewing tomorrow wouldn’t be TERRIBLE!
