Overworked again

I seem to make a habit of this. I am so tired tonight I can not relax. I went to bed about an hour ago, as you can see I am up.
Really up and wide awake.
Today David planned on completing winter readiness work. As we finished breakfast he told me to stay inside, and get my work done. I grinned and he said " You just can't do it can you, stay in while I am outside".
I smiled and told him "No, I love being outside and I want to help him."
So As he wraps pipe I clean the gutters. They were not bad at all, but in definite need of cleaning . One clogged just as I walked under it. I had handed David the wand to clean that section.
In clogging the water poured out the overflow on the down spout. I got drenched in dirty water. As soon as it saw I was sufficiently soaked it unclogged.
Don't tell me that was not planned. LOL
David had a good laugh.
We did accomplish a lot but as we came in I was so tired I was dragging my feet, (so was he).
I was too tired to cook at the moment so we ate a peanut butter bar, while I relaxed a while.
Finally I kept getting sicker. I knew I had to cook something and get food in my stomach.
As I got up I began my usual, being so sick at my stomach I had to run to the bathroom or lean my head on the fridge to settle my dizziness down.
David had to help a lot with dinner. He cooked the potato pancakes, and I warmed the chicken and corn.
I then sat and he served me, in my chair, in front of the TV. I refused to move, At least until I was a lot better.
Once I ate (very slowly) I felt a lot better. I even made a sheet cake so he could have fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
Fresh Strawberries in October? Yes I bought them from the field on the corner of Airport and Churn Creek.
As I stepped out of the car I smelled onions so strong. As I said, "Wow I smell onions, they smell so good." A young lady told me her mom was cleaning onions in the back room. I smiled at her and bought my berries.
As I turned to leave she stopped me, "My Mom wants to give you onions,"
Now that was so sweet. She handed me a bundle of fresh green onions.
I came home and added it to my salad. They were delicious.
The strawberry fields here are owned or ran by Orientals and they are always so nice. I often buy their cull strawberries for jam. They are perfect, just a little over ripe. I usually pay a dollar or so for a flat. Not a bad price for great berries.
So tonight I am trying to make myself RELAX. Not an easy job for me, as my children know. I am the queen of got to get it done.
As I walked in to shower I looked up, I saw a job I had to do. As you may know I replaced my door coverings, In doing so I had to remove the old decorator rods.
The rods were in a different spot than the new brackets so I have holes in my wall. I have the Spackle to fill it with and had every intention of getting that done this weekend.
I did not do it, so those holes were staring me in the face. I looked at David and told him, " I refuse to do that, I am too tired, it can wait".
He readily agreed.
Now those holes are on my mind, That and the mopping and vacuuming I did not finish. Oh well, I also did not cut our the backs for my quilts. That is three more things incomplete.
Well tomorrow is another day and a better day is ahead.
God is in Control.
I sure need him to be. I mess up when I try to take the reigns from him.
So now I will say Goodnight.
Must rest, I have a busy day planned tomorrow, I hope Darlene comes out to sew.
With her here I am more apt to sit and visit and sew.
Good night, OH I already said that. Btu again never hurts.
Love and Blessings

I really think you would do better if you ate regular meals. I know you don't like to and I know you like that you are losing weight, but you are not eating well rounded healthy meals, which in turn is making you sick AND tired.
