Mental Health Day

Realized this morning that the only reason I needed to leave my house during school hours was to go to my taekwondo class (the boys take a school bus and a friend brought The Girl to school today.)  Since I was the stupid ass who wore a different knee brace to class yesterday after two weeks off and tweaked my knee, I decided to just stay home.  I'll give my knee another day to feel better before I have to coach basketball on it for three hours tomorrow morning, and I am in desperate need of a day off anyway.

No errands or running around (at least until the kids get home.)  Some laundry, maybe some putting-away of Christmas decorations.  But then I am going to sit down and figure out the Family Tree Maker genealogy program I got for Christmas, since I am the only one of my generation on either side who gives a crap about family history and I like it a lot.  For me, this is fun.

Putting myself first today, which doesn't often happen.  I finally remembered to start a medication that should help my perpetually clogged sinuses.  I made a doc appt for next week, so I can figure out once and for all what the hell I did to my right shoulder while I was learning how to do forward rolls and came down on it wrong the one time months ago.  Just stuff that I hadn't quite gotten around to, that I finally made a point of doing this morning.

Selfish, maybe.  But if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.  And that's the truth.  Mama's filling her tank today.
