Blaaaah!
Being sick with the cold for two weeks is very nearly driving me bonkers. All of my training (push ups, sit ups, gym, BodyBalance, dancing, walks outside in gorgeous weather...) is on hold and I'm bored out of my mind, being forced to do nothing but vegetate as a couch potato.
You could've told me some 15 years ago there'd be a day I would complain about not being able to excercise and I would've snickered at you. And if you at the same time would've told me about my future adventures in the land of rock as a 30+ adult, I would've keeled over with laughter and died right there. Funny, life is. Takes you where you least expect to end up. I for one don't mind it - but the darned cold could please now leave my body and let me do my thing!
On a sidenote - I want spring! It was raining today, or so it seemed, as I peeked through the kitchen window while eating breakfast around 11 am (yes, a sick day off of work, I slept in). The sound of rain is a welcome sound after the season of silent snow. Sure, there's still tons of the white stuff around and I don't expect it to go away in a flash, but spring is coming! The light, it's so wonderful every year. When the sun's already rising when my alarm goes off at 6.40 am. When it's so bright at 8 am that I need to wear my sunglasses when I drive to work. After all the months of darkness, it's sooooo wonderful to notice that the sun still exists and to think that summer is closer every day! I want spring! I want summer!
Plus I want to get rid of the heavy winter clothes and shoes! I want my heels and skirts and short sleeved shirts! None of this ice and cold and slippery stuff anymore, ok?
