I did all the things today. Rearranged & decluttered craft/game room, did 3 loads laundry, vacuumed all but 2 rooms in the house, did dishes, worked some on a commissioned baby blanket, and generally trying to wear out my body completely in an effort to rid myself of this last pain flare that has been ebbing & surging for a couple weeks now. I tried resting & that did not help with the flare. What resting did do is drive me crazy thinking of all the stuff I was keeping myself from doing. So today I pretty much pushed this horse through to the finish line of the steeplechase! Won’t know if this worked until tomorrow, but it was definitely worth a try. <the bookcase & white topped table were swapped in position in the room along with several boxes stuffed with garbage taken out><pics of craft room/livingroom/stairs all vacuumed><my Fitbit step count as of 3:25p> {for those thinking I should have not done the rearranging on my own, I am very stubborn & sometimes need to do *heavy work* <Google it, it’s a thing>} #chronicpain #painflare #heavywork https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca2zhn4Pnr8/?utm_medium=tumblr
