Absent

I was absent yesterday for my pulmo rehab. I woke up dizzy and I know things go bad when I force myself to get up if my sleep cycle is incomplete. My CPAP machine has been extending my deep sleep phase and when I'm woken up suddenly I get very dizzy. My alarm woke me up and I guess my body wasn't ready to wake up yet. 

To make up for my absence, I used my spirometer as usual and spent extra time doing some gardening. I re-potted some plants and gave rice water to select plants. I was planning to cook dinner, but my energy ran out. I'll just cook tomorrow and skip any heavy gardening. 

Oh well, that's my life nowadays. There are good days and there are bad. I just adjust as needed :)

Worn Out

I just realized I overdid things this week. I tend to do that when I have bursts of energy. I did some heavy gardening for two days. Went to the mall and sorted Mom's stuff for another two days. In between that I re-organized my closet.

I thought I could continue sorting stuff today. No wonder Sweetie just laughed when I told him I'll finished the boxes he got this weekend. I'm exhausted and should have rested after pulmo rehab yesterday. My therapist also realized I'm probably suffering the ill effects of long COVID-19 since I could go straight for a few weeks with pulmo rehab and then be absent for another few weeks. 

It's just that I feel antsy whenever I have a surge of energy. I need to do things, but I need to also figure out the right time to stop. It would be better I know when so I don't get too exhausted.

Anyway, it's the weekend, so I'll rest and resume on Monday.

Happy weekend everyone!
