Surviving Thanksgiving

Well I made it through the holiday!  It was a wonderful day even though I had to change my menu slightly and deal with some last minute issues.  The food was delicious, the company was wonderful and I am thankful for everything.

It's funny that during the day, there were the usual aches and pains which I dealt with and kept on going.  It was interesting how I was able to focus on the excitement and events around me and how that helped me to feel better.  But when the company was gone and I was finishing up the clean up chores, all of a sudden it felt like my body started falling apart.  My heels began to ache like tooth aches. Massage and elevating legs helped them to calm down. 

Today, I am thankful to have had the day off but I applied to have it off so I would be ok if something like this happened. I spent it being lazy and resting in bed. My back hurt significantly and I needed to take care of me. My heating pad was a blessing. Thank goodness I only needed to heat leftovers for a meal so prep was not an issue.  I should be back to normal by tomorrow.  For that I will be very thankful!
