I don't know if this is a problem with other people with chronic pain, but I get so tired. By the end of my work day I'm on autopilot. What's really bad, is I am usually on autopilot even without pain. My little brain is always going going going.
Well I asked Michael to go get the car because sometimes the walk is just too much for me. I organized the shop. I grabbed my purse and my crochet bag. And I grabbed a tray full of muffins and bagels that didn't sell this week. I went outside and sat on the curb and waited for Michael. He got there, I was preoccupied with trying to stand and get into the truck with as little pain as possible. I remember about 3/4 of the way home that I didn't grab my bags. I grabbed the muffins, but not my purse and crochet bag.
That started an evening of investigation and reporting, and calling companies. Somebody saw fit to take my bags and try to use the cards in it. I never carry cash, but I had 40 bucks on me this time because I was going to give some money to a friend who cleans our house and to my brother in jail so that he could get some things from their program.
Anyhow. That's basically all. Now I've got to report my name to avoid someone trying to use my name to get cards, etc.
It's so frustrating. But, I plan on following through. I followed through when someone broke into my car.
Well, enough of that. I'm just a little frustrated from being in pain and exhausted at the end of the day. It's not so much the neck and shoulders anymore as it is the lower back, feet and lower legs. All that standing when I've not been working out so much has me all out of whack.
It's 5 a.m. hopefully, I can go back to bed.

Can you combine your crochet bag and purse? Then it's just one bag you have to keep track of. Something that will go a long way to helping you while standing around so much is investing in a GOOD pair of shoes. Don't be afriad to drop $80 on them if you need to. Nursing shoes, as unattractive as they can be sometimes, are a good bet. I've heard good things about CROCS too.

And yes, as a chronic pain sufferer, its makes you very tired.

Oh, what db said about crocs, my hairdresser swears by them and she is on her feet all day.
Hope you are feeling ok today.
Love
