Silly me! I did it again. Yesterday I overdid the gardening work. I stayed way too long as I was having fun. Did not see the time flying.
But when I started to feel quite weak, I decided to come in. Was I surprised by the clock, it had been over 2 hours. I am not supposed to do this.
I was taking advantage of feeling so good as it doesn't happen that often.
Now, I am paying the price, I had a very bad night and I can see that I will have to nap shortly.
Do you overdo it too sometimes?

I am sorry this happens to you Marlina..I know the feeling well.
It is very frustrating as it cuts into anything we want to do.
What were you doing gardening?

@TiarasOceanView Today was kind of what I call "a wasted day".

I overdo it everyday. Have to push myself through the day. Then I get home and wonder why I have no energy for my own tasks that need to be done.
You rest lady and feel better.

@ElusiveButterfly, When I was younger I had so much energy, I was like the "Energizer" bunny in the commercial.
Now, it is a totally different story.

Yes i tend to overdo things as well and then pay for it later. Hope your feeling better by now and next time you won't overdo it.

I have a rule about not over-working. I don't have to do things and the thing I like to do I won't hurt me. Hope you feel better today.

@marlina That's one reason we don't have flower gardens. I don't want to spend two hours working on them and that's why we have a small veggie garden....not a lot of work/time involved.

It's easy to lose track of time when you're doing something you enjoy. Sorry that you're paying for it today

I don't feel that happens to me much, but my body seems to think it does here and there along the way. With me, though, I never know ahead of time how much or how little I should do. I think a lot of factors come into play when I can't sleep well and some of them can't be helped.
Maybe if you happen to feel good enough to hang out in the garden again you should set a timer of some type so you won't overdo it again.

Oh yes! I often overdo it because I dont have time, outside work these days means " if the dun is shining hurry up because rain is coming!"
I hope you feel better after the nap.
