Today was one of those days that reminds me why I am on the transplant list. My energy level is very low. I sometimes push myself to do tasks that seem to be so simple yet require a lot of energy. Laundry for instance. I live in a two story house with a basement. Stairs are not my friend. I am out of breath when I get to the top of one flight. You add carrying a basket of clothes, that requires much more effort, even on a good day. When I carry stuff on the stairs I only get half way up have to sit down for a minute. I like to do laundry on days when Travis is around. He is able (and willing) to carry the laundry which is so very difficult for me.

Another reason I am reminded about being listed. I knew I was tired but we had to eat dinner. It seems to really make me tired if I have to cook much. I have not made dinner in months. We eat a lot of take out and it gets old. So I agreed to go to one of our favorite restaurants. I thought it would be quick since it was a Sunday night. 2.5 hours later we were finally leaving. It happened to be a popular night to go out. We saw friends that we don’t see very often which was very nice (love ya Kell bell & Kar bear). But on the way home it really hit me. I had closed my eyes almost the whole way. I love being social but I hate how it drains the little energy that I have right out of me. It was one of those nights I should have listened to my body and stayed home. Sometimes another night of pizza isn’t going to cut it though. Good thing is I can sleep in tomorrow.
