You know the feeling when your body quits?

Left the house before sunrise, and had to scrap extreme frost from the windshield.  A busy day at work.  Lots of errands to run on my way home.  At my last stop (the library), I sat on the floor to peruse some options.  I am a floor-sitter from way back.  When finished, I just did not have the energy to get up.  I sat there looking through a few books, until I had gathered enough to toddle out of the stacks.

I was tired and achy before, but my body rebelled, put it's metaphoric foot down.  Another weather system passing through, taking the cold day to Polar Vortex through the end of the week.

Brrr. You Easterners have had way more than your share this year!

I sure do know that feeling, and I hate it. It's like you literally run out of gas and have to pull over to the side until you can get more.

Have a peaceful night and good sleep.

Boy, Myself! I got tired just reading all you did in one day! You are amazing! Give yourself a big pat on the back.

Sitting on the floor? Never for me. It's nearly impossible for me to get back up off the floor. I have to scoot to a piece of furniture, get in a crawling position, and use the furniture to help pull myself up. After doing that, I'M exhausted. tongue

You are doing great and face fibro with a terrific attitude. Good for you!

I too felt tired just reading all you accomplished !!

Last February I had to get down on floor to read some numbers off cable box.
I never get down on the floor. I know better. Should have declined.

But.. I did.
Getting up I -snap!- broke a toe..

Maybe I should add this to the humorous post.. lol

I never get down because I could never get up.
my knees are a wreck and I feel like I'm kneeling on jagged rocks if I put pressure on them.

Thanks all.

I did indeed feel better the next day, though I am still fighting with the wonky semi-flu feelings that often come and go.

We started the day in single digits, temperature-wise, but I really cannot complain because others are much colder. Thank goodness it is relatively dry, at the moment.

I have been doing floor work and movement my whole adult life, even now post-diagnosis. It takes a lot of core strength to be able to pull up, and sometimes I do struggle to get from sitting to standing. It's a kind of mobility I have worked to retain, tho middle-age is taking the inevitable toll.
