mythicalgirlThis cold/sinus infection will just not go away. I did OK last weekend, doing yard work both Saturday and Sunday. Got my shoulders a little extra crispy and had to stop a few times to blow my nose but did alright. Monday and Tuesday I worked full days and made it back to the gym, I was feeling so good. The cough had ramped up a bit but the head full of snot seemed to be easing up. Wednesday I was pooped so I just went to work and nothing else - a typical hump day then as it is usually my rest day, not a gym day. Thursday I was even more pooped, coughing constantly, and back to a head of not so clear snot. I tried to go to the gym (yes, I am stupid sometimes) but after 15 minutes even I had to admit defeat. I stopped at the Immediate Care on the way home and I now have antibiotics.
Yesterday was OK - not great but I made it through a full day of work. I went to bed early, well, early for me for a Friday night, and let myself sleep in this morning. Then I got crackin! Weeded the gardens, pruned a couple of shrubs including the ginormous lilac out back, cleaned the kitchen and the master bath, packed up books and sold them at Half Price, and went to the grocery store. Now I am kicking back while doing a couple load of laundry. Yes I probably did too much today (I can feel my energy draining away as I type) and I expect to feel kind of crappy here soon but there was method to my madness. I got as much done today as I possibly could so that tomorrow and Monday (Memorial Day here in the States and a day off. Woo Hoo!) I can sit back and do, well, nothing. Just take my drugs and sleep. There may be some more cleaning and laundry but nothing major and not enough at one time to wear me out.
So that is the plan. Watch the movies I have from Netflix, read a couple of books, maybe drink a beer or three, and just relax and try to get better.
Wish me luck!
P.S. I harvested the first few radishes from my garden, have a bloom on the tomato plant, and the bean seeds have sprouted!
