Sometimes I make positive changes to the way that I do things only to go back to the old way of doing things.  I have been trying to listen to my body and resting when I need to and sleeping as long as I need to in order to be healthy.  The battle comes with all the things that my brain is telling me. Like “Only lazy people sleep past 7.”  “You are sleeping your life away” “What will people think when you are not dressed at this time in the day?”

I had a bad reaction to the COVID booster and felt ill for 2 days.  Yesterday was the third day and the day that I no longer felt ill.  Instead of jumping into it and trying to catch up all the things in one day, I tried taking it a little bit easy.  I will try not to do too much again today so that I can properly restore my good health and energy.  I will cut my exercise routine to 17 minutes with a much easier routine than I would usually perform.

I retired so that I would not be around sick people and so that I could rest when I needed to because I felt that overextending myself was a large part of my problem with fatigue.  It has taken me 5 years to get to this point.  I hope that I have not waited too long.
