Tired

The birthday went pretty well and now it’s already two days later in a flash.  We’ll be doing this with Lego Lover before we know it. Unfortunately, Game Fanatic hasn’t felt that great since his birthday. I suspect a bit of that is post-birthday blues which usually affects him. But he seems to also have some sort of stomach bug or something and was feeling quite unwell today. He noted tonight this is the second time in less than a month that he’s been sick and that’s unusual for him.

The weekend seems to have disappeared so easily. I had so much I’d planned to do but didn’t get around to doing. But I did accomplish one big thing yesterday when I attacked Lego Lover’s Lego area, which is in the middle of our open plan house. I’d put this off for such a long time due to his protestations that he would clean it up and his concerns about my germs (due to having handled the dogs) . Dust and dog fur had collected around the puppy fence that surrounds it (to keep dogs out) and it was filthy and in terrible disarray. I was sweeping the carpet around it and couldn’t get everything up due to that fence and I snapped and got him out there to get it done…should have done that ages ago, really, but it’s so hard to know when to push and when not to push with someone like him. Anyway, it was a good thing and he is quite happy with the result. Everything is not clean but it looks tidy and once we do the same in his room, he can set about cleaning everything and organising it properly.

Meanwhile the Scientist cleared out a lot of the weedy winter grass from one side of the driveway and it looks so much better. Hopefully we can get the other side cleared out in the next few days as there is a green waste pickup coming up next week.

I went off this afternoon to buy a bubble tea from my favorite specialty shop and discovered they had a five dollar special lunch of vegetarian food on Sundays now. I skipped the fried rice and the white rice and chose the potatoes, curried lentils with spinach and some veggies that tasted sort of roasted or lightly stir fried. That was my favorite and it had lots of broccoli and carrots and other yummy stuff in it. I’d already ordered a Jasmine bubble tea, which topped off the meal quite nicely.

I think I perhaps overdid the exercise this afternoon. I tried out the 35 minute spin class and that was a good workout in itself. But then I added in half an hour of rowing and still had the dogs to walk when I got home…It was only my feet that hurt earlier but now my body just feels tired all over. I am booked to donate blood on Tuesday so I had planned to do a workout tomorrow so I can fit in my strength training before I have to take a couple days off from my usual routines.  I now think my body just needs a rest tomorrow and I will just do much lower intensity workouts for a couple days after that. I still have tai chi class tomorrow night so will still get plenty of exercise anyway. I was pleased to record a slight weight drop this weekend and my neck, waist and hips measurements all went down this week.

Totally unrelated, I notice my category list on the WordPress dashboard shows none at the moment. Will have to investigate further tomorrow. For now it’s off to bed to truly rest my weary body.
