This weekend it was in the high 90's here in Portland. I haven't been able to tolerate hot weather since being on treatment and this weekend was no exception. A few friends talked about going camping and being that I haven't really done anything this summer I thought I might go. Seeing that Sunday was supposed to be 99 I ended up declining. Instead I went to my mom's air conditioned townhouse, spent time with my mom, ate well, slept a lot, and geeked the eff out on reality t.v.! :D
Besides meeting up with a friend here or there for coffee or food I've continued to spend the week laying low, relaxing and sleeping A LOT! I can't begin to tell you how nice it has been! Part of me started to get upset earlier today thinking I should be doing more. I had to quickly remind myself the whole point of being off of work is to do exactly that. I need this time to recoup and take it easy yet it is so easy to forget. Maybe I've been off work just long enough that it's getting to me, but at the same time I still can't imagine going back to work and being the productive member of a team they would expect me to be.
My hands and neck have been extremely sore for awhile now. My hands hurt again bad this morning but right now feel relatively good. My shoulders and neck feel horrible though! Thankfully I go to my massage therapist tomorrow at noon which should help. That also gives me an excuse to walk around downtown a bit which I always enjoy. It's only supposed to be about 70 degrees tomorrow too, which is pretty awesome!
As if I haven't slept enough today, I believe it is time to hit the hay again. I hope all of you out there are doing well. Thank you for your continued love and support. I can't begin to tell you how much it means to me and how much it helps!!
