Having my day planned...and then it all changes

Yesterday, I had a big day planned for myself. After feeling poorly for the first part of the week, I woke up yesterday morning after a very long night's worth of sleep and decided I was going to be productive. I needed to edit a YouTube video. I then had a few things I wanted to get done such as wiping off my bathroom counter and repairing some tears in my comforter.

I was getting ready to begin my day. I was so excited to finally be getting some YouTube editing done. Then, the phone rang. It was a family member who needed me to go with him to the city. I was bummed. Everything I had wanted to do for the day would be put on hold. However, I agreed to my relative's request.

As I was getting ready to leave, I realized I missed a telemedicine appointment. I frantically called my doctor's office, apologized for missing the televisit and asked to reschedule. Thankfully, I was able to get an appointment for later in the day.

When I got home in the afternoon, every fiber of my body throbbed with pain and exhaustion. My blood clots were raging out of control, causing a horrible headache. I crawled into bed and hoped taking many doses of blood thinning medicine would help. Eventually, the headache calmed down enough to allow me to sit up.

I logged into to my telemedicine appointment. The visit was extremely fast. I was so grateful the appointment went well.

I spent the night catching up on YouTube correspondence. I have been extremely behind on social media. As hard as I pushed myself, at 9 p.m., I decided it was time to go to bed for the night. I was too exhausted to keep my eyes open, and my head was throbbing.

I slept long, but when I woke up this morning, I was very tired. I could barely move my hands due to pain and muscle stiffness. I have attempted to be productive today, but I am just too fatigued to move. I suppose I should not be frustrated, but I am. I wanted to get a YouTube video edited so I could move on to other YouTube videos.

Hopefully, I will be able to rest this weekend, and start next week with more energy. Maybe one day, too, I will finally have the time and energy to repair my comforter. Have a great weekend.
