After I got home from my appointment this morning, I was too exhausted, so I had to rest before I could eat.

And then ate a little, and needed to nap.

After which, I wanted to do 1 or the other, of 2 simple tasks, but......
I was just too exhausted, so I've gone to resting some more.

Well, the accomplishment is that i did go to that important appointment.

I very often find it very draining to get ready, and to go, and to sit in those endless wait rooms, etc....etc.....

I hope that been soup turns out well,

It sounds good to me!

I can relate. I had an appointment like that on Thursday. The interstate was crowded. A big truck obscured my view and I missed my exit. By the time I got there I was 30 minutes late. Then a walk from the garage with my rollator and the information desk sent me to the wrong floor. I was happy they took me anyway late as it was and performed an ECHO.

The drive home was in rush hour and took a full hour. My blood pressure must have been off the chart.
I am on blood thinner and that night my nose started bleeding and continued for 14 hours. I couldn't lie down but at least it calmed down in the afternoon after a second round of nasal spray. The last time this happened I spent the night in the ER and I didn't want that.

Today I slept until noon and I'm still tired..

That sounds like a terrible outing.

I'm glad they didn't cancel your appointment.

But each part of that experience must have been so stressful, especially the nose bleed.

I'm glad you're okay , though i do know that extreme fatigue.
Thanks for sharing. Hope you continue to recover from that very difficult day.

Take care, @Babs2u Let that BP come down. The day is over with; thank goodness.

Enjoy your special weekend!

But perhaps you might seriously consider serving more than mushrooms and onions for lunch tomorrow.

That is, if you'd like to ever see those guests again in the future.

They‘ll be the risotto tomorrow.
