I decorated for Christmas!!!

Accomplishment

I am exhausted. I pushed too hard and got sweaty and nauseous and lightheaded, but I soooo wanted to do this, as it's the first time I've decorated since I bought my house a year ago.

I did a lot less than I have done in the past. A lot of ornaments and decorations stayed in the boxes, but I put up two trees (one small, one tall...the worst part was fluffing them lol). I decorated the mantle. I sang along to Christmas music. And, I PUT ALL THE BOXES AWAY!

My Fitbit logged it as vigorous exercise, and I know I'll be totally beat tomorrow. I feel like I did a million crunches and then ran a 10k. But at least I'll have pretty decorations to enjoy while I lay around.

Am I a good example of pacing oneself? Heck no. But I believe in doing what I can, when I can, and today I did as much as I possibly could to do something that mattered to me.
