Took my medicine on time!
I usually struggle with that as I have to take them early in the morning and I feel I can’t get out of bed early.
I’m just normally far too fatigued to try and get up early enough as even though I make effort I still feel chained to my bed with no energy even though I had gotten some good rest.
But then again this fatigue doesn’t go away with just sleeping a normal amount of hours.
Likely going to be no post tomorrow as I have to get up really early to go see a mental health professional and it’s probably going to drain me as I have horrible fatigue during the mornings where I have to build energy just to get out of bed.
In fortunate news,
I had a full meal and was able to enjoy it or at least half of it. Still not getting hungry though, but I ate because I knew I had to eat something. It’s something I’m working on as it barely improved at all but it still improved some and that is progress!
For a win for the day; I took a few minutes of time outside for a short break to relax some with the nature and sunlight although it was a bit cloudy, I spent the time outside with my husky despite being in some pain! 🦋
