Recovery
Several relapses later I am finally starting to be on the mend (though my voice is still raspy). Van and I went to the gym today. I could feel what the last 2.5 weeks (amazing that it has been that long already) has taken out of my body. I was slow and lethargic the whole time and when I stopped to change machines I sounded like I was going to hack up a lung... I managed to burn 920 calories in an hour and a half... Not terrible for a marginal sick day. Hopefully by wednesday I'll be back to a full workout.
Overall I think it did me good to get myself moving again, but right now I am just drained. Between the workout and the OMG heat we have here right now I have been a tired, tired cranky pants all day. And I am not the only one. Van threw a half hour tantrum because I vacuumed up the baby powder that I had dumped on the floor as an ant fence.
Sigh.
It was one of those unfixable tantrums too where I think my best coping strategy would be to buy earplugs. Eventually he decided he was done and we managed to get on with our lives but not before we had missed taking our afternoon walk. Oh well. It was really too hot to do anything but sit around and whine. This is not the kind of weather that I pay premium housing costs for!
