Rationing

This month’s division of personal energy while awake, by task:
Work-related activities: 30%
Holding very, very still: 20%
Maintaining positive attitude: 30%
Church/volunteer activities: 10%
Investing in friends and family: 5%
Doing household chores: 2%
Miscellaneous: 3%
I think you should keep the household chores rationing at 2% for the duration of your pregnancy, I just remember being SO tired.
Ugh. Having recently experienced a passing wave of nausea, I have some empathy for the “holding very, very still” part. This too shall pass!
Pregnancy. That time in life when hiring a maid seems increasingly logical. The budget plays over and over in the mind, “Can’t I fit in an extra $30/week somewhere?” For me, the answer was always, “No.” But… I always so wanted to.
Does holding very, very still mean that there was less time spent in the throes of violent retching? My fingers are crossed for you!
