Day 10 (Monday) - Warning: Poo talk.

Is it really only 11am? Yup, that's how today is going so far.

Let me preface this post by saying (sorry in advance) this is my second day in a row of being constipated.

I was told moving around would help with this in addition to the Colace prescribed. So, so far today (got up around 9:30) I have:

• had a cup of tea and a little cereal; 
• loaded and run the dishwasher;
• wiped down the kitchen counters and stove;
• loaded one small wash, and folded another small wash (my clothes for today);
• brought the folded wash upstairs;
• tried to poo thinking that's what my body was telling me it really wanted to do, only to find out my body was lying to me.

My body wants to go, yet my body won't let me go. My muscles aren't strong enough.

In addition to the pains this is causing, I'm annoyed because the single goal I set for myself today was to (very slowly) walk to Dunkin' Donuts, about 1.25 mile walk roundtrip. A nice rest and coffee reward after the first half, and I can always take a cab back if I'm too tired. Yesterday's walk just felt so good. 

Right now I am far too uncomfortable to walk to DDs. Funny, a cup of coffee would probably help! If I drink a cup at home then I won't want another which ruins the motivation for going.

How chicken & egg: Need the coffee in order to go; Unless I go, I can't get the coffee. 

There's probably a song in there, somewhere....

I'm onto cup of tea #2 and still need to shower and dress, which may help move things around in there. But even if I manage to get one out, I'm thinking DDs is off at this point. I've been so active already that it will probably be too much.

There's always tomorrow.
