Last seven days very stressful!

I've missed being on the forum.  We had to put a new roof on our house and I was hoping my hubby would hire someone to do it, but I guess that was wishful thinking.  I was so stressed out and in so much pain from lack of sleep and worry, plus cooking two meals a day for 10 people  for the past seven days, that I couldn't even think straight.  I wanted to do this for him because he has had to do things for me that I have a hard time doing now.  I pushed myself to the limit and now I am paying the price.  The last couple of days since  they finished the roof I have had a hard time doing anything.  Lots of back pain and having troulble sleeping and the just about every part of my body is screaming out in pain. 

I wanted to come on and talk about this, but by the time everyone left at about 9:30  p.m. (they had been here since 8:00 a.m.) I was so exhausted that I would go and sit on my chair with the ho***er bottle and that was all I could do.

Well thanks for letting me vent a little and I'm sure in a few days I will be back to my sort of normal self and just the usual fibro fog.  Oh by the way, the roof looks great.

Have a great day!

Thanks for the kind words.  I really do feel good that I could help him by cooking the meals for them.  I know that in a few days with rest and exercise I truly will be feeling like my old self again.  It really does help to tell people who know what you are going through how you feel.  I didn't want to tell hubby how awful I felt because he was stressed enough with having an open roof and hoping that the weather holds out (It did)

Isn't it a good feeling when you look at your baseboards and they are all sparkly clean.  Good job to you too and give yourself a pat on the back too.
