Thursday pacting.

* inject my last dose of Humira

* basic chores - make bed, do dishes, 5x5 minutes tidying, vacuum my floor, 15 minutes gardening.
* Thursday chores - ironing, mending, laundry
* Crohn's & fibro care - exercise, stretching x3, strengthening, meds.
* eat one of the higher residue meals that I've stored in the freezer, to make space for low residue cooking.
* think about a low res pureed soup I can & might make over the weekend
* devotions

If Humira leaves me with little or no energy:
* go through cupboards and make a list of toiletries etc I'll need in the coming weeks, so I won't be forced to the shops unnecessarily
* make a list of sitting chores & hobbies that have been neglected during this active phase, so I can at least look forward (ha) to something about being more housebound and immobile. Bonus points if I start checking to make sure I have everything I need to complete them, so I don't suddenly discover I *have* to leave the house, just when I'm least able to.

Alternatively, if I'm reasonably active and mobile:
* return books to library
* go to post office; post the parcels etc I prepared on Wednesday

Bonus points - do Telstra errands; do errands on the other side of town. Make low-sugar muffins / cake for travelling. Grab a few groceries. (I think I have Buckley's of doing any of these, but at least they're posted as options!!)

(that's me, dashing around like a headless chook and going slightly loopy with the pressure of it all)

Ivy.

Hj-enjoy your baby girl and I am so glad she is healthy. Please post pictures in a few weeks when you have a few moments.

Ivy-that sounds like much more than I could accomplish. Please take care of yourself.

My pacting-pick up the second round of antibiotics from the pharmasy-this means eating is going to be a problem again-biaxin and plaq together are not pleasant. So also pick up a few groceries that are more likely to be apealing to my quesy self.
Work anyway.
Send out two resumes.
Sj

Congratulations HJ, make sure you get lots of rest and enjoy each day with your baby girl (what did you name her, if you dont mind me asking).
Ivy - Sj is right you seem to be doing quite a lot there!
Sj - UGH - Nausea ((HUGS))

2pm update - made the bed, done the dishes, eaten the higher-residue meal, gone down the street and posted the parcels and returned the library books. All that running around constituted exercise, so that's done too.

Off I go again; good luck to all;

I.
