Being off work is not good

I was glad to not be at work, but my energy level seems to be nothing. I wanted to go to bed at 5 p.m. Bob made us a frozen pizza. Added veggies and olives. I have washed a very few dishes, and made more egg nog for him. He had a Physical therapy appointment today, and came home feeling much better. They are saying his spine is not staying straight. I would like to hear more of an explanation of that. I am assuming he has lost muscle tone so his spine does not stay straight then muscles get pulled and nerves get pinched. Hopefully I will get my energy back and get back in the swing of things. I did some stretches for my arms and shoulders last night and that helped me not to have such tingly arms in my sleep. I shall do the same again. Yes, our month is coming to an end. Have a good night all of you.

Tomorrow is the last day of November. And Christmas in three weeks. Hard to believe.

I'm sure you'll do wonderful, and both get well. Adjusting to a lifestyle change can take time.

Having the whole week off for Thanksgiving just made me want to always stay home.

The only thing I've felt like doing is being outside during the day with the sun shining. I'm tired when I come inside and then don't get much done other than watching TV. LOL. Hope you feel better tomorrow!

I just got too used to not going to work. Not deciding what to wear, not making a lunch, not meeting a schedule other than my own.

@GardenGerty I understand, since I've not been working, I understand.

Might you have a virus (or THE virus)? Are you running a low grade fever? So many different things could be at play. Hope you feel better.

No, I just am out of routine. We had the whole week off for Thanksgiving, and both weekends, of course. No cough, no sniffles, no fever, just not used to being active in the way I need to be at school, pushing a wheel chair, lifting and transferring a student, diapering, etc.

I sometimes found that. I was okay while I was working but would then hit a low spot once I got to the weekend.

Yes, I just had nine days off and it makes it hard to have energy since I went back.

Hopefully your energy will recover quickly and be able to carry out activities as usual, and Bob will be back to normal when he has finished his therapy.
