My Ruff Needs Ruffing!

Chris had off from work on Saturday; it seemed like the day flew by so fast. I think it was in part because we stayed up really late Friday night and slept in pretty late on Saturday. We have a membership to a local museum, so we can visit for free as often as we want throughout the year. Chris got it for me for Valentine's last year, and we'll be renewing it. We took advantage of it yesterday. It makes for a cheap, if not free date night, and it's great even if I'm in a flare. There's benches all over the museum, so there's plenty of places for me to chill if need be, and it's naturally a quiet space so I don't get overwhelmed. Plus, elevators! There's even a planetarium! It has super limited hours though, so we actually haven't even gotten to go yet. Sort of shocking considering how much we both enjoy astronomy.

The museum changes out a lot of the displays quite regularly, so it's never just the same old thing either. And apparently with my memory some of the more stationary displays still wind up being a fun new experience. One of my favorite areas is the rocks and fossils. Upon entering that area yesterday I was all 'Ooooh, look at that!', and Chris was all 'Babe, that was there last time..' and I was all....'Shutup, I don't remember, and it's cool.'

I mean really, just look at his stupid little arms. That must have been incredibly inconvenient.

Dinosaurs and things from such eras fascinate me, and spark my imagination.

This visit I was sure to take our camera for a change. You can't photograph all of the displays unfortunately, but some of them you can. Maybe with some pictures by next time I'll still remember this silly dinosaur.

Tuxcasso?

I managed some determination to at least get the dishes done last night, and Chris was kind enough to cook dinner. Now of course, it looks like I did no dishes. I got a whole lot of nothing done yesterday. Today seems a bit more promising, but I'm still not back to what I usually do in a day.

Relaxing when I feel like garbage is really hard for me. I feel like I need to tough through it. Show the disease who's boss! All that really does though is make me feel like garbage for even longer.When I just rest though I wind up getting anxious about all the things that aren't getting done that are going to pile up into a monstrous disaster. 

Chris is really great about helping me with things that I need done. When it comes to regular chores though he's the King of 'It can wait till later'. He doesn't understand how the piling recycling, dishes, and laundry lying about cause me anxiety. Things are easier for me to accomplish in small doses. Mountains of shit to do all at once make me sad. So as I watch them turn into mountains it makes me anxious.

But I'm trying to let it go until I feel back to normal. Trying.
