Hubbie and I slept in a few extra minutes this weekend morn, but there's not much sleeping in to be had when there are rounds of meds to be taken. And when your best energy is first thing in the morning. I wanted to get up and properly nourish myself and then make both breakfast and dinner so my guests would be properly taken care of, for today.
Well, more or less.
What do you do when you're chronically ill and there are guests to be entertained and cared for? I default to making sure they are fed, and then chat as much as I can, while resting in between. This works out okay... I hope. I'm okay. I'm too tired but I cope. I am so grateful to have people who love us take the time out of their schedules to travel and hang out with us. I end up feeling guilty about being a poor hostess though. Who goes back to bed right after their guests have risen for the day and been fed breakfast? It feels weird.
I'm working on acceptance and losing the guilt. It's far from how I would ideally entertain, but it's pretty darn great for our current circumstances. Which means it is perfect for today. Not so different for someone who isn't ill and is hosting. You do your best and let love take care of the rest.
