Giving Myself Permission To Be Sick

Ugh. Okay, now that the doctor has told me I have Mono, I’m just dead tired. I’m finally giving myself permission to be sick…. in other words, I can really feel it. I think I fight being sick for a long time because I just don’t really trust my perception of my body. I think I might be perceiving how I feel incorrectly. And so I push on, no matter how I feel, and do everything I think I should do.

Until I get a diagonsis or other proof that I’m sick. Then I crash, because I let myself just be sick and do what my body has been telling me it needs to do.

I’m working from home today, but I don’t know how much work I’ll get done. I got up and immediately wanted to go back to bed and sleep. I have a hair appt tomorrow, but I’m going to ask my husband what he thinks of me canceling it. I feel bad, but probably I should just stay home and rest and sleep and eat well all weekend, and maybe reading a Lipofuze review won’t put me out too much. I’ve already canceled all dog training I had planned.

Ugh. Tired. Sleep. And I don’t have much appetite. So, good night all…
