Monday I had planned to take Max for a run, but I woke up too tired, so I went back to bed after dropping Sunshine off. I managed to get a little work done that day, but not nearly enough, as frequently seems to happen. Tuesday after music lessons we went into town to check out the botanic garden and …
I’ve slept very poorly the last few weeks, which has resulted in slow starts in the mornings that aren’t nearly as productive as I need them to be. Despite the slow start, I did get some work done on pockets, paid bills, etc. Tuesday I saw an orthopedic doc to get my thumb looked at. Turns out it’s not soft …
Monday it was my Monday to drive and I worked on blog post catchup while I waited. I had to take a nap after we got home because I was so tired, though it wasn’t as long as I’d have liked. Afterwards, I cut more leather for buckets and pockets. I ran out of leather, so I placed an order …
Monday I had tentatively planned to take Max for a walk or run in the morning, but the mid30s temps and a lingering sore throat convinced me to drop the idea. Instead, I went back to bed after dropping off Sunshine and even managed to doze a bit, just before it was time to go pick her up. I finally …
Monday I was still feeling yucky, but definitely better than before. Congestion was still present and I don’t have much of a voice yet, but overall I feel better, so… progress. I didn’t take Max for a walk because it rained all weekend- Hurricane Ian (tropical storm Ian, I think? by the time it hit us) brought wind and rain …
Monday the local schools were out, so there was no seminary, so we slept in, though I wasn’t able to sleep in as late as I’d hoped, especially since I didn’t sleep well that night. As a result, it was not a very productive day. Tuesday was back to our usual schedule of early morning wakeup for seminary, music lessons, …
Monday was our designated conference recovery day, though we did get up and get Sunshine to seminary, so recovery day was after seminary for her and a trail run for me. The days that work best for trail runs are Mondays and Wednesdays, so I didn’t let recovery day keep me from the trail. Max and I had a good …
Monday it was my turn to drive (we rotate Mondays since there’s 4 families in the carpool). I spent most of the day working on production. In the evening Sunshine and I wen to her Court of Honor, but if it hadn’t been a court of honor, we would have skipped it so I could get more work done. I’m …
Monday was Labor Day, so no school or work, thankfully. Jeremy and Sunshine have been under the weather, so an extra day of rest for them was good. Sunshine and I were super happy to have a three day weekend to recover from the first week of seminary. I meant to get up early and get right to work, but …
Monday was the first week of seminary. We woke up at 6:30 and I dropped off Sunshine at the carpool location at 6:50. Then I took Max to the trails park for a run. It was a good run, but I intentionally kept it short since I knew I wasn’t physically ready for a longer run, at least if I …
Monday I got a slow start because of a late night Sunday, but I managed to be pretty productive, getting some computer stuff done. I looked up materials for one of Sunshine’s classes (Shakespeare) then pulled out the cutting dies I bought three months ago but never had time to do anything with. I’m not super happy with the crane …
Monday morning the boys slept in, which surprised me since it’s a very rare occurrence. They didn’t wake up till I was in the shower. After my shower, we loaded up and headed out for the final leg of the trip. It was fairly uneventful, though we did run into rain and heavy fog coming around the mountain just past …
Monday I woke up at 3:15am due to some mild acid reflux. It was enough to wake me up and be painful and make my lungs not feel great, but not bad enough to be super painful or really do a number on my lungs, which has happened in the past. It gave me half an hour to fully wake …
Monday I got up and paid bills, then did the grocery shopping. I had a number of stops to make, but they didn’t leave me wiped out exhausted, just tired. I also did some much needed decluttering of surfaces in the kitchen and living room. Jeremy and the kids tend to pile things up on whatever available surface is nearest …
Monday I was up early to leave at 7am to take Sunshine and another YCA from our ward to the stake center an hour away. All the stake adult and youth leaders headed to camp on Monday and will be joined by ward adults and the rest of the youth on Tuesday. Sunshine wasn’t super thrilled about leaving again so …
Monday the boys and I took Sunshine to Williamsburg for FSY. It was held at the College of William and Mary, which was annoying to navigate since the campus had too many one way streets and very little parking. Other than that, it was an uneventful trip there and back. Tuesday I took the boys to music lessons and River …
Monday I felt much better than I did on Sunday, though still not great. I went to Scouts in the evening to hand off the health forms for Scout camp. Tuesday I felt better, but the anesthesia from getting my loose filling fixed took me down a few notches in the afternoon. On the plus side, there wasn’t massive decay …
Monday was the Fourth of July and while I laid in bed all day, I managed to get up and eat ribs by the fire while the kids roasted marshmallows. Afterwards, we did some driveway fireworks and sparklers before I collapsed back in bed. Tuesday Jeremy took the kids to karate while I stayed home. I was super glad I …
Monday I was feeling better, though still not great. I was starting to feel antsy about stuff that needed to get done, but any time spent sitting up made me feel worse, so there’s definitely a ways to go before I’m back to normal. My symptoms have closely mirrored the symptoms I had after my shots, but I feel like …
Monday I woke up with a sore throat, but it was finally the perfect combination of not raining, hadn’t rained in enough days that the trails should be decent, and I didn’t have anything scheduled that had to be taken care of. So I took Max for a long-overdue trail run that the boys joined us on. I wasn’t worried …
