stupidity to the tenth power

Ok… so today I feel really stupid. I mean reeeeeally stupid.

DH has this rule he made for me… “Erin is only allowed to do 2 things MAX per day.” (ie. clean kitchen & put away ONE basket of laundry) …. I thought he was being silly, but now I agree.

This is what I did yesterday:

  • Cleaned Kitchen
  • Put away 4 heaping baskets of laundry
  • dusted our bedroom
  • vacuumed our bedroom
  • vacuumed every other room in our apartment
  • moved kitchen table so it will fit better in our dining room
  • shaved my legs (yes, that IS a job now! LOL)
  • made dinner

….sounds like a nice, productive day right? Yeah… except that I can barely move now without being in excruciating pain. I pulled a muscle in my side…I think it’s actually my groin but I can’t be entirely sure. Either way… every time I move it hurts worse than pretty much anything I’ve ever experienced. Actually… the pain is somewhat akin to when I was recovering from having my one ovary removed (it’s a c-section like incision).

So DH has a new rule… “Erin isn’t allowed to do anything except be on the couch or in bed until this pain stops.”

…great. DH – prescribed bed rest. Yay me.

Oh, and for those wondering…my dad made a full recovery and the doctor approved his 3 week hunting trip.  So now he’s happy and away on his vacation… :)
