It's pathetic when:

3. You sweat after you mop
2. You get the shakes after you mop
1. You are excited that you were actually able to mop today!

I know the feeling. I work at a veterinary clinic. Most days I work, I either vacuum or mop. I'm more wiped out and even more painful than before doing one or the other. My arms ache like I've been lifting weights that are too heavy for too long, afterward. Sad part about the vacuum is it's worn on the back, and the sweeper/broom part is quite light and easily maneuverable. Still kills me.

My arms feel really shaky and weak after mopping or vacuuming and the sweating is horrible. What used to be simple tasks are now exhausting.

I don't mop much.

It is weird because I don't sweat much either unless it is over 95+ degrees.

Glad that you are able to mop but sorry that you sweat and get the shakes after it.

    Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics.  An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
