The day after

I had a very busy day yesterday and now there is this sense of NOW WHAT? I did more yesterday than I had done in the last 2 weeks total.

I know I need to do something with the couch and maybe finish unpacking the 2 overnight bags that I used to go out to OH with. One of the bags had things that I would carry in a purse if I needed one that big and the other has food stuff in it. No it doesn't have spoiled food in it, it does have oatmeal that I like and a few other things that I can only get out near my sister. I try and pick up a few things when ever I go out there to have here at home. It doesn't last long when I get it home so maybe that's the reason I haven't unpacked the bag, if I unpack it it means that I'll see the stuff and eat it all up. Maybe I should go ahead and eat it all because I'm heading back out there in 2 weeks and can get more. The nice thing about bringing home food stuff is I don't have to spend cash to get it. I can use my food stamps and that is nice. I guess I can use them all over the United States and PR. I have been reading of people who sign up for state aide in MA then go back to PR and continue to receive their benefits even though they don't live here. There was a big write up in the paper about it a few months ago. I am afraid that by using my benefits in OH I'm going to get shut off but I have a feeling if they look back at my usage and see for the most part I use them in MA then they won't shut me off. But there is that fear in the bad of my mind they will only look at a small period of time and it will be the time I'm out at my sisters.

I did 4 loads of laundry yesterday, made lunch for the youth pastor at church and helped my upstairs neighbor get into bed. That is a very full day for someone who usually sits on the couch all day watching TV. I'm paying for it today and hope that it doesn't get any worse than I'm feeling right now. I do have some pain medication I can take but I don't want to unless I absolutely HAVE to. I'm going to try stretching and ibuprofen first and see how that works before I reach for the narcotics. I don't like taking them in the first place and don't want anyone to say I'm addicted to them in any way shape or form. I only take them when I have to and I don't go to the doctors or emergency room every week with some imaginary pain to get them.

So here I sit wondering what I should do for the day and what I can actually get done. I'm hoping that I can get the bags unpacked and put away so Middy can have her chair back to use to get to the top of the chifferobe. She really doesn't like using the back of the couch to get up there.

So wish me luck in getting things done today. I will be happy if I can get just a little bit done today. Any little thing to make the house look a little better will make me happy.
