Painful week

[BabyPoppy]

These past few weeks have been incredibly draining for me at work and home.  I lead the preschool program in a childcare center during the school year and lead the school-age kids in the summer-care program during the summer. So in July work gets super busy trying to maintain the Summer Care classrooms and staff... plus prepping for 3 classrooms of preschool and the staff! But this is what it love! 

At home I am tackling deep cleaning and have a dumpster outside my house... it is difficult emotionally to part with some stuff, but very necessary.  

This week I took a bad fall at work... I used my foot to catch the elevator door and it closed on my foot... I fell hard and hurt my hip and low back... I went to the doctor,  but it takes time to get the paperwork through for physical therapy and now it's the weekend... they're worried I may have broken my foot again... I'm worried about my hip... I have restrictions and I don't like having limits.... part of me wants to sit (or just get comfortable) in a cozy blanket fort and watch TV all day, be in littlespace and forget about everything for a day, but I need to move around...keep my muscles moving.

It feels so good to be in littlespace when I'm overwhelmed,  hurting or in pain, just like it feels good to be in littlespace when I'm feeling happy, at peace, or silly. I'm learning that it is ok for me to feel little and be in littlespace for different reasons. I need to be in control, in charge all day at work, and at home with my kids,  but whenever possible I can be little and it helps me be stronger when I need to be!

I'm glad to see that you are keeping busy and remaining positive about all of this! Good on you for doing what you can with what you've got, and we're all here for you. Hugs!

I am so sorry to hear about your injury. I hope you get good news and nothing is broken. It will take a bit of time, regardless, for you to heal. You sound super busy, but try to take as much time as you can to rest and relax, as that's what your body needs right now. Give yourself permission to enjoy being little whenever the opportunity arrives. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you @Cranius for the encouraencourage. Attitude helps so much in the healing process! I believe strongly in finding the positive in everything! 

 

Thank you @Little Nyx for being my friend and encouraging me to be ok in littlespace.  It's so easy to serve others all the time, but sometimes my body says I need to rest and heal... littlespace is the best way for me to do that.
