lillilahThings are going pretty well, all things considered. I discovered that if I nap while my food is cooking after I get back from class, I'm more able to do stuff during the rest of the day. I've made slow progress on a bunch of projects, but this afternoon, I ran out of umph. This is the fourth day in a row, though, and even though class today was just tai chi and stretching, that is still a lot for me. So, I'm going to be resting and playing video games for the rest of the day. Luckily, dinner prep is fairly simple tonight.
I should have perhaps thought ahead this morning when I saw that my blood sugar was 4.4 (lower than my normal 4.8 or 4.9) and guessed that I wasn't going to feel up to doing a lot. I don't have much in terms of plans for the next two days, though, so I had hoped that I could just make it through. Nope. Monday, as far as I know, is just going to be blood tests, which isn't all that much work. So, I should have enough time to rest (and maybe do some crocheting or sewing) over the next few days. It is chilly here, and I want to upgrade my wardrobe a little. We'll see how much energy I have. Since I am able to stay home and rest now, functionality tomorrow might be possible. We'll see!

Thanks for finding me

I'm interested to hear how (if?) Halloween/Dia de los Muertos is celebrated over there!

Date: 2017-10-28 05:56 pm (UTC)Honestly, I think that this is mainly about leaving the house, communicating in Russian, and moving my body through space. All three of these make me tired. Normally, I have a horrible time napping, but I'm tired out enough that it seems to be working. On the flip side, it allows me to do more, which isn't always a good thing. At least, I have felt awful for the last two days. It will pass, though. It always does.
Not really celebrated beyond "This is an American holiday! Let's use it as an excuse to party!". There is a Halloween event at an English language club in town that I might go to, but I think there are plenty of people who don't know that these holidays exist.
