For the first time in days I woke up with energy this morning, and was able to engage in my (nearly) normal routine. I actually did my morning "before getting out of bed situps" while reading livejournal, email, and checking the weather report. Then I got up and actually spent 27 minutes doing the exercises suggested by my phone app. Now, I am not stupid, I didn't jump right back in with the full workout--that was doing about 1/3 of today's recommended exercises (e.g. 25 long arm crunches instead of 75, 3 pushups instead on 9, etc.), but it felt so GOOD to be able MOVE again! Then, after breakfast I did the vacuuming that should have been done days ago, and I have chopped some ice from the front steps, and even gone for a short walk.
While out for the walk I saw three deer standing on the edge of the ice way across the other side of the wet lands that runs across the bottom of our property. They are so tiny at that distance!
I still have a bit of a cough, but now when stuff comes up (not often), it is the thick yellow stuff that I think of as "we won this battle, now nothing left but clean up to accomplish". Sadly I still can't breath deeply without coughing, but I can do breath of fire, so I am trying to remember do do that regularly, in hopes that it will help clear out my lungs so I can breath normally again.
Now it is 11:00, and I probably ought to actually do the work for which I brought the work computer home, because once we head to
lord_kjar's parent's house tomorrow I am unlikely to do any work till after we get back.
