Three is a significant number in many cultures, religions, throughout history. It's all around us in stunning significance. Think about it:
The Holy Trinity
The third eye
Three musketeers
Beginning, middle, end
Three phases of the moon
Birth, life, death
3-D
Moe, Larry, Curly
Triple bacon cheeseburger
All significant, right?
Well, 3 is becoming significant for me as well, effective immediately.
My wonderfully observant husband has noticed that the more I do, the more stressed I am. The more stress, the more pain. The more pain, the more I complain and make everyone wish I would go far far away. It's a vicious cycle, and I live by it.
Not any more, apparently. Sky King is D. O. N. E.
I cannot obligate myself to more than 3 extra activities per week.
How did I do this to myself, you wonder. (No, you don't wonder that, because you know me, but I will tel you anyways.)
The past three weeks have been rough. Like gravel-in-the-panties rough. Let's recap:
::: traveling back in time three weeks ago:::
Monday-no work. BBQ with friends
Tues-dr. appt, work, girl scout thing
Weds-lunch with friends, pack for camping trip
Thurs-dr. appt, leave for camping trip...2 adults, 4 kids, one cramped swagger wagon
Fri-camping
Sat-rain. Ditch camping, ditch family.
Sun-major fibro flare, rest
Mon-still flaring, dr appt, laundry from wet camping trip
Tues-work, errands, last minute purchases for MBs class
Weds-more laundry and errands, work, finish kids' yearbooks for classes
Thurs-dr appt, work, pick up kids, blood work
Fri- Weight watchers, completion ceremony for Princess
Sat-swim party event for work
Sun-run errands
Mon-help Monkey Boy's class, more bloodwork, board meeting, bit of work
Tues-work
Weds-field trip for Princess, work for movie screening I coordinated
Thurs-work, early father's day bbq, packing for weekend
Fri-MB's 6th grade graduation, packing, my school graduation I have to MC, leave for in-laws
See??? To quote one of my sister in laws, my busty life exhausts her. Me, too. No wonder I have struggled through a flare up this while period of time. I even toyed with telling my dr my meds weren't working. Duh.
So,3 things. Not including work or spontaneous dinners. Unless the spontaneous dinners are stressful, or work involves an "event", good or bad.
I wonder if sex is considered "work", or an "event"?
