It's a Down Day

2009 May 13
by fibrohaven

Today is what I call a “down day.” You know –  a recovery day, a “my brain is not working” day, a “did I remember to brush my teeth?” day, a “babe, do you mind bringing something home for dinner?” day, a “man I HURT” day.

 

Today is the day I ignore my phone, stay off the computer and catch up on my DVR. I will try not to get stressed over my lack of productivity and just give into it, because if I do, maybe I will only feel this bad for today. Maybe tomorrow I will wake up feeling a little better.

 

I will drink a lot of water today, even more than the A LOT that I normally drink. I have said this over and over to anyone who will listen – drinking a lot of water is the best thing I do for myself everyday. Today I need to do better. I feel especially toxic today. Water will help flush all that yuckiness out.

 

Is yuckiness a word? I make up words on days like today. Maybe I will start a new Fibromyalgia urban dictionary. Not today though. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow when I wake up feeling better I will get started on it. It can definitely wait until tomorrow.

    My code for these type of days (and I’m having one too today…it sucks but oh well): “I’m having a bathrobe day”. And that pretty much sums it up.

    I should be packing. l guess it’ll keep. Hope you’re doing better tomorrow.

    Hope today is less of a bathrobe day for you too. Good luck with the packing and the move. Moving is rough, but everything is worse when you are having a bad day.
