I overdid it. Again! Day in the life vlog

#fibromyalgia #dayinthelife #chronicillnessvlog

Hey everyone! It's me again, and in today's vlog, I've got quite a bit on my plate. I'm gearing up for a weekend trip to Mexico with my daughters and I'm buzzing with excitement but also feeling a tad overwhelmed. I've just returned from a whirlwind weekend in Washington D.C. (check out that vlog, I've linked it bellow), and now I'm diving straight into packing for Mexico.

Packing this time is a bit of a challenge. The trip to D.C. was amazing but exhausting, especially dealing with cold weather and the stresses of travel, not to mention my fibromyalgia acting up. I'm trying to balance getting ready for Mexico while listening to my body and not overdoing it.

Today, I realized I've been neglecting some household chores, like grocery shopping and laundry. I'm also tackling the fridge clean-up – and let me tell you, it's a massive task. I found cranberry sauce from Christmas (yes, it's almost February!), and there's a lot of expired or spoiled food to sort through.

Cleaning the fridge turned out to be more overwhelming than I expected. There's a lot of washing and organizing, and I'm trying to take breaks to not exhaust myself. I'm already feeling the strain, and I haven't even started packing for Mexico yet.

Despite the pain and fatigue, I'm determined to get through this. I'm using the Pomodoro technique, working in short bursts and taking breaks. I even had a mini-crisis with a water spill, which left me stuck on the floor for a bit – not fun at all.

But seeing a clean fridge at the end is so satisfying, especially scrubbing the countertops and polishing the appliances. However, the physical toll is evident. I'm in pain and need to take some painkillers, which might knock me out.

I'm trying to be mindful of my limits, but sometimes it's hard not to push myself. Dealing with the consequences of overdoing it is a constant balancing act. Despite the pain, I'm glad to have a clean kitchen, but I had to sacrifice packing for today.

Now, it's late at night, and I'm struggling to sleep due to the pain. I've been editing this vlog but realized I hadn't wrapped it up. So, here I am, ending the vlog, still needing to pack but grateful for your company on this chaotic day. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next one!

I’m Daniela I have been diagnosed with several chronic illnesses. I look normal, I do things, have a job and go on vacations, but inside I'm sick. I live with several chronic illnesses and they affect my daily life. I am in constant pain and struggle with brain fog. Although I'm constantly looking for new doctors, new treatments and solutions I have also accepted my illnesses and do not let them define me. In this channel, I share a little bit of everything. Information about my conditions, my travels, my dreams, my journey, my life. This channel is about life through chronic illness lenses. Come and join me and see what I'm up to lately.
