Well, this week’s been a doozy! For years I’ve had back troubles and last Saturday I did quite a number on myself moving things in the basement instead of asking for help. It was bad for the first few days but I had orders to do and thought I could get away with doing some work on Monday.
Welp! 🥴 What a mistake that was!
I made things so much worse, I could barely get out of bed to use the washroom. My husband and kids took on everything around the house including looking after me. I’ve never felt like such a burden. Watching everyone do it all for me and all I could do was watch from my bed.
For the first time ever, I had to cancel a few orders because I simply couldn’t do them in time. As much as I love doing this, it involves being hunched over the table for hours on end making sure all the details are perfect.
This has been the lesson I desperately needed. We only get one body to enjoy life with, so it’s important to look after it. No amount of cookies will give me back my health if I let it go to waste now.
In many ways this turned out to be a wonderful blessing. Unfortunately, it just happened to be an excruciatingly painful way to learn it.
I am on the mend and hoping to be back in action next week again. Sorry again to any one I had to cancel with. Please know it crushed my heart to have to do that to any of you.
