I Can Do Everything Through Him Who Gives Me Strength

Today started off strong, mainly because I/we had a plan. We knew when we were leaving the house & approximately how long we'd be gone. Yes, this really helped out. I think it helped out a lot because I also knew I could get myself going when I did. I haven't felt well lately & last evening wasn't that good either. I was okay early evening as we watched Identity Thief. Shortly afterward, however, things weren't looking as good. The weather wasn't ideal for sleeping, but slightly more tolerable than it had been lately.

I did wake up a bunch of times throughout the night, but I still felt well rested when I got up. I knew by getting on the elliptical by 9 a.m. I'd be off & able to shower in time to head out for church. I also realized during this time that we needed to check on some of our info again. G
lad we did. Turned out that our day altered a bit. We thought we had three sets of plans for the day. A friend lost their mother a few days ago, so we were going to the funeral home viewing; this would be the last thing before heading home. After Mass, but still at church, we thought there would be an event. This is what didn't make sense. While I was showering I considered the calendar & the days of the week, did a little math in my head & when I got out & was drying off I mentioned my hesitance to my DH. He checked our paper & realized he'd read incorrectly. The church gathering would be next Sunday after Mass, not this Sunday. This meant that we needed to find a way to get some food in us, too. I had thought I'd had time to take in a few bananas; but, well, that didn't happen.

I grabbed them instead & tossed them, along with my pills, into my little cooler where I already had some nuts, & other healthy quick pick-me-uppers. Ultimately, after leaving church, as I had our restaurant gift cards with us, we headed to a restaurant instead. This worked out well as we got the fill we needed for the day we had ahead of us. Nuts & a few bananas (well, for me, at least) wouldn't have done too much good & I would have been run down ultimately.

We carried on to the funeral home, one more quick errand, & then headed back home. I was worn out when we arrived & my DH said he was too. We headed for a quick nap & soon I didn't feel so good. After a trip to the toilet I rested a bit easier & got to actually snooze a bit. After taking care of a bit of computer work, I accomplished my squats & wall sit for the day by 6 p.m. Good stuff!

The following is exactly how I often feel. I have found myself in the same stance more times than I can count. I think I was in it today during the break in my nap. However, this is not my figure. Her legs are the bomb compared to mine...but, "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." And for this reason (& this reason alone) I trudge on!
