Shutting Down


This morning, I woke up, un-energized. My body ached while my brain felt like it’s gone into shut-down mode. I cannot think of one thing to write. I looked at the Daily Prompt and cannot think of one situation to relate.

I think my body probably ached from yesterday. After getting home from school, I spent the remainder of the day painting the basement with mom. She painted the ceiling and a vast majority of the walls while I painted the tiny areas like the corner and the foot of the wall. She even had me paint the new linen closet in the newly constructed hallway.

I guess that’s where the pain in my back came from, from getting down on my horrible knees, even after surgery, and painting that tiny space. I do hope I don’t have to move much today because I am walking like a drunk at the moment, bumping the walls and stair railings. Anyway, that’s all I’m going to say today, have a great day and be back tomorrow. 🙂

  1. You’re too young to be falling apart like that already! I hope you feel better soon. Maybe your two new expected family additions will be able to take some of the stress and work you have to put in dealing with Mom off your aching back?

    1. Don’t worry, I’m not falling apart. 🙂 It’s just one of those days my brain takes a risky unexpected vacation.

      Although, I think the family additions will put more stress on me because they are unfamiliar with the language, location, and they have no idea how to cook! With mom in school at night, I have to do all those things.
