Quiet Fall Weekend

This weekend feels like its going to be quiet and drowsy but I've needed some time to unwind for a while. I've been working a lot which is great for the bank account but it also means that I'm getting pretty run down. I've been dealing with a cold for a few days now. I have been feeling like one has been coming on for at least a month and it's been making me really tired. It finally actually came on fully just under a week ago and hit me hard. Last Monday I was off work and slept most of the day.

Tuesday and Wednesday were both miserable days full of Kleenex and cold pills. Thursday was better and Friday was better still but it's still lingering a bit. I still have a cough and my nose is still stuffed up but I don't feel like I want to die and my nose is no longer running like a faucet. I have a cough but that's something I can deal with  if need be. Although I am feeling better, I'm glad that this weekend is one where I am not working.

Because I have been sick, a lot of things around the house have slid a bit as well. The kids have been busy with their own activities and my eldest has been working as well. Master is coming home from being away on Tuesday and I want to make sure that things are nice and inviting for him when he does get in. I have a couple of days to do this and the spare time is going to be very helpful in making this goal achievable. Things aren't too bad, mind you, but some areas do need a little touch up here and there.

One thing that slid while I was sick was my healthy eating and exercising. Its hard to work out when you can't breathe well. I also elected to listen to my body when it was asking for comfort food. The thing about comfort food is that a lot of it is fairly high in calories and that means that weight loss is much more difficult. I have been avoiding weighing myself for the past little while because I didn't want to see the numbers creeping up but when I did today, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would have been.

It's not so much that I run wild when Master is away its that things are a bit more relaxed. Now, though, he is coming home and I'm looking forward to everything getting back on track again.
