Sleep....and rest

Today, I got home...and at first, I kept pushing myself.  I'm good at that.  I had laundry in and food cooking.  I was gathering dishes from around the house

Just a minute, I have to take a moment to vent....my ex just knocked on my door to get my son for volleyball.  Seriously....guess he probably forgot his phone?  Just not what I needed tonight.  Him looking in my front glass.  AAAAArrrrrrggggghhhh!!!  Just when I think that I don't have to think about that anymore. 


Ok, back on track.  I got dishes near the dishwasher, wiped counters, made the dinner....and started stock for soup tomorrow.  But, I was weary.  And finally, I got in bed.  And after a friend brought me tylenol, I went to sleep.  Really asleep.  And I have been in bed most of the rest of the day.  I did some grading...not much...in bed.  And I've watched a couple of shows.  But, mostly, I've slept and lounged around.  And my body is feeling better for it.  As is the rest of me. :)
I feel such an obligation to do it all.  To do it right.  I feel embarrassed that my home isn't tidy.  It's hard for me to give myself that kind of rest.  But, I managed to do it today.  It was a gift and I needed to embrace it as one. 
I hope that you are finding rest today...of body and of heart.
blessings.
