My Oh My, I have been sooo tired! Not sure if it is the meds I am adjusting to, or if there is truth to what every medical professional has told me, that fatigue after cancer treatment can last months, up to a year. I suspect it is the latter, as many of my BC friends who are in this “after treatment” phase are having the same issues. We all seem a bit surprised by it. I think you just expect to feel better, because life just keeps going and starts to feel pretty normal again.
I AM learning how to relax, be ok with low energy, and ok with a home that is not always picked up just so. I have a stack of dishes in the sink right now, sheets in the dryer that need put on beds, and closets and drawers that are getting cluttered. I’ve ignored them and I am at peace with that–not normal for me!
I have loved grabbing a book while relaxing–at least my mind can feel productive. We have had a few rainy, dreary days here in Nebraska, perfect reading weather.
Here are my latest finds at my local library:

Ill have to try coconut oil as a moisturizer!! I never thought to do that.
Enjoy your time relaxing. After what your body (and mind) have been through it is perfectly dandy to let the dishes pile up and the beds to go sheetless. It will all get done in time.

I read you blog often but haven’t commented in the past. This might seem really random, but your header photo inspired me to re-do our kitchen in a soft taupe, with jars of beans, rice, pasta, etc for decor. I was overwhelmed by too much color and “stuff” on the walls and sitting on countertops and above my cabinets. We just love our new look, thanks for the idea!
Be well, be blessed~
