When you don’t feel like doing anything, what do you do?
I’ve had one of those weeks. More like one of those months, really. I feel like I put forth a good faith effort with my blog and Ebay in January. I saw little return, but I felt satisfied. Then February came and I just….couldn’t. It started with a bout of stomach virus, the likes of which I hadn’t had since my surgery and it really freaked me out. I recovered quickly, but it was tough to push through. My sweet son stayed home from school (yes, I let him, and mainly because I felt safer having someone home with me) and was THE best nurse ever.
The Flu Hits
A couple of weeks later, I was picking him up from school. He said he didn’t feel well. His fever spiked pretty high, so we went to the doctor where he was diagnosed with flu. I spent a couple of days home from work with him until my husband made it in to take over during the day. A week later, I came down with something very similar. My flu test came back negative, and the doctor tried to talk me into coming back to repeat the test the next day because she felt like we did the test too early. I didn’t go back, but I was highly miserable and STILL have leftover congestion and lethargy. The husband also came down with this as well. Good times at our house.
No Ebay Action
So here we are in March. I don’t think I made a blog post at all last month. I didn’t list anything on Ebay. I’ve been so mad at myself, but trying to remember that it was just a TOUGH month. The kid also had two major school projects due during this time, which made for even more misery on top of sickness.
We just had the week off for Spring Break. Besides normal house cleaning, I didn’t accomplish much, but it’s more than last month. I made about 10 listings on Ebay and here is my first blog post since all of this happened. Baby steps, I guess.
When you don’t feel like doing anything, doing things you want to do or you know that you need to do is hard. I wondered if I had become a little depressed. March is a tough month. My daddy passed away in March. It will be four years this year. I think it’s just a combination of that and sickness. So instead, I’ve been napping all week.
I’ve read several books through my Kindle app and I’ve played waaaaay too many games of Toon Blast. I’ve read a million blog posts (thanks to this link, which I highly recommend), and I’ve really enjoyed myself despite how utterly lazy that sounds. I think this week off is just the sort of decompression I needed to recharge from work. We didn’t travel, and we ordered in way too much restaurant food, but we vegged out as a family and it’s something the three of us rarely get to do. Hopefully we recharged enough to get us through these last nine weeks of work and school.
