Feeling Productive!

After a week of feeling worse than blah, I am happy to report that I feel back to my normal self. The weather is mild (for February), the sun is out, and I had a most productive weekend working on interior renovations and bookkeeping. It's tax season, so I get quite bogged down with all the extra work and it's a very stressful time of year for me. Whoever decided that tax season should coincide with S.A.D. season wasn't too bright! But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The bulk of the work is done, and my boyfriend and I also managed to repaint the majority of his house (inside, obviously.) Something about physical labor versus desk work makes my body and brain happier...I was almost pondering a major career switch until my back and hips reminded me the next day that they are not going to tolerate prolonged standing, reaching, straining and bending. Ouch! The arthritis flared up big time. Luckily it only took a day to get back to my basic level of discomfort rather than the advanced, hobble-around-like-an-old-lady level.

It feels good to start a fresh week with so much dreaded work behind me. I can feel spring in the air (famous last words...you can all blame me if we get 2 more months of winter now.)
