Life of a hermit

So as MANY people have noticed recently i am a bit of a hermit. for the past two months i have avoided going out in public unless i absolutely have to (work). I have only been grocery shopping once, and i love grocery shopping. I hate being a hermit, but i've been so sick lately that going outside my townhouse seems aweful. i just wanna curl up and sleep.

Since i have started this new job i have been forced to get up and get moving every day, for 8+ hours a day. it has been really good for me, but exhausting at the same time. When i get home i am supposed to be helping my husband pack up boxes for our big move in March. Instead i march straight upstairs and lay in bed. I have gone to bed before 8:00 multiple times in the past week.

So yesterday (with the help of a great friend) i lifted up my hermit veil and went out in public. We got pedicures (finally used a gift card i have had since beginning of December) and we had box tickets to a hockey game. I made sure i was doped up on my anti-nausea meds before and we were off. It was a great day. Kel got to tag along at the hockey game after our girly afternoon. I ever saw all my old coworkers there and my parents, one of Kel's friends, and my cousin and his kids and my new boss. It was a great evening out. However it took it's toll on me. We got home at 6:30 and i was in bed watching "How to train your dragon" before 7:00. I was asleep before 9.

Having a good and eventful day yesterday reminded me of how much i miss people and fun activities and doing things. I am hoping to get out a bit more often and DO things! However this morning reminded me why i havent been out and about. I got up at 5am for my 6am hours and was sick FOR THE ENTIRE HOUR! it felt like i had partied too hard. So i rearranged my schedule so i could come in at 8 today instead and am taking 2 hours to sit and calm my body down.

I might not be ready to "unhermit" myself yet, but very very soon i am hoping to do something. Maybe after the move is done and work has settled.
