Wow Strikes again!
The past three days have been amazing! Here we go.....
Saturday: I spent the day sanding on a hutch we bought because we want to use it as a TV stand, but hate the color. So I sanded for 3 hours, went shopping for a few things I needed, and then we went bowling with S's family.
Sunday: I spent all day finishing my sanding job and then stained the hutch.
Monday: I mowed the yard and I got the weedwacker out and used it some until it wouldn't stay on any longer.
Okay to some, you are probably going....okay? And? But for me this is HUGE. For the past 7 years if I tried anything like sanding and bowling in the same day, I would have been down in my back and physically sick for almost two days. This was my THIRD day of being able to put in some hard physical labor and be able to get up and go the next day (taking for granted I can move in the morning). AND we have lived in our house for a year and I've never been able to mow on the yard at all. I couldn't breath, couldn't walk far enough, and didn't have the stamina. Tonight I mowed AND weedwacked!!!!
I realized today how much I have let S down in the past 7 years and really even more in the past 4 years. She has had to bear more responsibility because I wasn't strong enough. It is about dang time that I give back. I'm finally able to be more of the person I know I am. The past three days were just the beginning. I feel like I"m strong enough to really start to do things I need to do. It's just such an amazing feeling to know I've done so much in three days that I wasn't able to complete prior to the surgery.
I just had to share my wow moment......even though I am exhausted tonight....i am still doing my happy dance!!!!!!!!!!!
