I am starting to recover from yet another nasty cold. I have no idea what is going on with my immune system, because this was my third viral illness in 3 months. And it was the Whole Package (throat, congestion, fevers, sooo much fatigue, blah blah blah). I haven’t worked out since Wednesday (Thursday was already starting to feel like @*(&@) and I spent most of the weekend lying around and feeling guilty about not helping enough with the kids.
So, yeah.
Last night I was up tossing and turning with a) fever and b) anxiety about the fever continuing, because there is no room in my work (or home) life for rescheduling a full day’s worth of patients. Thankfully I woke up afebrile and honestly my job is not all that taxing physically. OTC medications help a lot and I am functional.
I am hoping (hoping!) that life will start to feel normal soon. I feel like I’ve been in a harried sprint since our air conditioner broke – and that was nearly a month ago! I want to have energy back so that I don’t feel like going to bed every night basically 5 minutes after the kids, and I want to feel like I am really experiencing this phase of life, not just surviving or racing through it.
On a totally unrelated note, because why not:
Meal plan for the week:
M – salmon, sweet potatoes, green beans
T – broccoli chevre soup from Run Fast Eat Slow, bread
W – leftover soup & possibly Amy’s pizza for kids (I have a work dinner out)
R – shrimp & tomato linguine from Run Fast Eat Slow, salad
F – leftovers
S – out (date night)
S – playdate/dinner at our house – TBD but I may make stuffed chicken breasts from RFES
Oh, and I am participating in LV’s time tracking challenge! (On paper, because paper rules in my world). Hopefully I will be back to normal soon or there will be a lot of lying around recorded . . .
Evidence the weekend wasn’t aaaaaaall bad. Annabel w the class pet “Sharkie”. She had to document their adventures together (in pictures). Her first homework!

Sorry to hear you’re feeling bad! Thanks for doing the time tracking (and linking to it). If you’re not feeling good, it should feature a lot of rest 🙂
I hope you’re feeling better! What do you think of Run Fast, Eat Slow? I have it on preorder as it’s not in the UK yet.
