Sick and Resting

After two weeks of battling allergies on and off, I woke up this morning feeling considerably sicker. So much so that I decided to take the day off. All my bones and most of my muscles were hurting. I was shivering and other details I won’t delight you with.

I think this was my body’s way of telling me that it needed time off.

So besides the run in the morning, I did nothing all day. I lay on the couch, I watched TV, napped, did a tiny bit of art, and read a book. I took care of the boys but I will admit I did a minimal job there, too. Thankfully, I had already taken tomorrow off (because both boys will be home) so I have a few more days to rest.

But I am not a fan of being sick. I’ve been lucky enough not to be sick almost all of 2011. I managed to work out every day and I have no intention of breaking my record this late into the year. So I won’t tolerate getting sick at this point.

Just sayin’.

Other than being sick and grumpy and moody (which is all I’ve written about this week), I’ve also been thinking about next year. About my plans and which projects I want to continue and which ones I want to stop and what new things I might want to do. I’ve also been thinking about my kids and what projects I want to do with them. My plan for this longer weekend is to pamper myself silly by spending a lot of couch-time and also to think more about 2012.

I am behind in comment responding and emails again. Perpetually, it seems. Sorry to not be more uplifting this week. I promise to make up for it next week.

Oh and, you still have a few hours on the giveaway here, and the one at write.click.scrapbook. And there’s one at paperclipping, too.
