Today I enjoyed a House marathon both on television and in my house. Today was the first day in about five weeks that I haven’t had to go anywhere. It has been lovely. I baked chicken using a little Bisquick recipe and it was yummy. I did not strain to do anything. Granted, I didn’t accomplish an amazing amount of productive stuff, but the relaxation was the productive stuff today.
I made Scotty do laundry yesterday because I had been avoiding it. Today I did a load. There was no dog barking at the washer machine.
I cleaned. I watched House. I spent time with my sons when they wanted to be with me. We cuddled a wee bit this morning which was sweet.
Relief came in the form of not thinking a lot today. My muscles are beginning to loosen, but that in itself brings new forms of aches. Motivation still needs to be found in the physical activity arena. I’m hopeful it will light up within me soon. Otherwise I will be forced to make myself do something. So much harder without an intrinsic motivation. Even when I feel “better”, physical activity makes everything hurt more which then sends me back into a phase of inactivity. It’s a viscous cycle, I tell you! If I can find some physical activities that help and don’t hurt and make them a routine, that would be lovely.
But tonight things hurt just a bit too much as some of the week’s tension seeps away. Tonight will simply include a marathon of sleep in my house of chaos. Madness knew “Our House”.
Mother’s tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister’s sighing in her sleep
Brother’s got a date to keep
He can’t hang aroundOur house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
Our house it has a crowd
There’s always something happening
And it’s usually quite loud
Our mum she’s so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
Our house, in the middle of our street
(Something tells you)
(That you’ve got to get away from it)
Our house, in the middle of our
Father gets up late for work
Mother has to iron his shirt
Then she sends the kids to school
Sees them off with a small kiss
She’s the one they’re going to miss
In lots of ways
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
I remember way back then when
Everything was true and when
We would have such a very good time
Such a fine time
Such a happy time
And I remember how we’d play
Simply waste the day away
Then we’d say
Nothing would come between us
Two dreamers
Father wears his Sunday best
Mother’s tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister’s sighing in her sleep
Brother’s got a date to keep
He can’t hang around
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, was our castle and our keep
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, that was where we used to sleep
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
