A Lazy Week

Last Sunday I started sneezing uncontrollably all through childbirth class. I thought that I must have forgotten to take my Zyrtec the night before but boy was I wrong. Monday morning brought on the scratchy throat.  I went to work and by the end of the day, I could only focus on my body aches, fever and pure exhaustion.  This was definitely not allergies!

I guess it was just your garden variety cold, but couple that with growing a human inside your body and not being able to pop Dayquil like candy and it hit me like the flu.  I even stayed home from work the next day.  In the past, I’ve been able to exercise through my colds but not so this time.  All I wanted to do was sleep.  Does reaching over to get tissue to blow my nose count as exercise?

I was much feeling better by Thursday but still not back on track with working out.  I feel like a total sloth!  Between recovering and frantically cleaning and packing up my office furniture I haven’t had time to breathe.  Ah well, back on the horse starting Tuesday.

My sister is coming down today to help me with the nursery over the holiday weekend and I am beyond excited.  I’ve been buying stuff for the past few months and all of the big pieces are in place.  The crib and dresser were delivered this week and we put everything together last night.  My vision for the room has changed a bit (doesn’t furniture always seem to be way bigger than it was in the store when it actually gets to your room?), but I can feel it coming together again.  The creative energies of my sister will definitely help.  I will definitely be posting pictures of the results.

Next week, I’m back on the horse.  There is a 5K in my neck of the woods on Sunday morning and I want to be ready.  Despite how distance running (and walking) has been making my back feel lately, I’m planning to rest up and take on the challenge.  I miss running, I really do.  This might be my last race for a while but I am itching to get out there!

Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend!
