I forget, how little too much can be......

I always forget how too much activity can be so very little activity for me.  Yesterday, I took my dog to the water front and did a very short walk and then went to the coffee shop nearby got a cup of coffee and sat reading for a bit.  Took my dog home, went grocery shopping quickly and then rested a couple of hours before going out to dinner with a friend.  I ate a lovely mediterraean dinner and this morning my body is screaming and I am very fatigued.  I spent maybe a total of 6-7 hours outside of the house yesterday and I am paying for it today and I am meeting a friend this afternoon.  I don't want to cancel my plans so I am hoping a morning resting in bed will be enough, along with mega doses of certain energy helping vitamins will get me through this afternoon.  I was feeling quite good yesterday and I over did it. I forgot that a friend had taken me to dinner the night before as well.  I know better then to schedule something to do, even it is just going out to dinner with a friend, three days in a row and yet that is what I am doing this week.  My weekend will be a weekend in bed recovering from the 3 days of minimal activity.  

I feel, that is what is so hard about this disease.  How to conserve energy and still have a bit of a life.  Always a balancing act....
