Bed Rest

Well, today begins my second full day of bed rest, but really I've been laying down for a full week now!! The retrieval was so hard on my body, that I was truly down from last Wednesday through Saturday. Sunday, I was still in pain, but made it to church and my parents' house (where I still basically stayed on the couch all day). Monday, before the transfer, I was a busy bee...doing laundry, dishes, whatever I could before my imprisonment began.

It really hasn't been that bad. It's just knowing I'm not supposed to do anything makes me want to do everything! Here is the long list of things I should be doing during this time:

1. Studying for Saturday's test
2. Grading my students' writing for their portfolios
3. Studying for Saturday's test
4. Grading math tests
5. Studying for Saturday's test
6. Grading math responses for portfolios
7. Studying for Saturday's test
8. Progress reports
9. Studying for Saturday's test
10. Reading my new books
11. Studying for Saturday's test

Instead, I am:

1. Thinking about how badly I want to walk upstairs
2. Texting my husband ridiculous pictures I found on the web
3. Checking Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram an obscenely amount of times a day
4. Searching Youtube
5. Constantly checking email (nope, still nothing new)
6. Watching TV / movies
7. Eating
8. Playing way too many games on my iPad

Okay, I haven't been that bad...I have studied a little today already and I did knock out the progress reports, but, I do need to get going today! Only two more days...I think I can, I think I can!

bed rest buddies!
