Getting the Rest I Need Today

I know it’s really small - like really small. I’m just glad to finally get some rest.

I have an unknown foot/ankle injury (getting an MRI next week for it).

One of my hands is swollen slightly from overuse (have weakness on one side so the dominant hand did too much work).

And my job has been stressful lately.

So I decided to take the day to stay in bed, watch YouTube videos, and get some much needed sleep.

It kind of sucks because I’m used to doing things on the weekend. But I don’t have a choice unless I want things to get worse. Hopefully I’ll feel better soon.

Thank you to anyone who reads this post. I hope you all have a good day.

Good for you! A rest day is necessary for our body to heal. I had to do that last week. I think I'll do the same again since it's raining and storming today.

Honey, it's not small. Especially because you think it's small - that means you exhaust yourself and it's big for you. So, well done, you need it! Get well soon!
