What a crazy weekend! My husband and I planned on a quiet, uneventful weekend at home, maybe getting some Christmas decorations up in the yard, wild and crazy old-people plans like that. Instead, a late phone call Friday night prompted a spontaneous road trip, and we weren’t home until the sun was practically up Saturday morning. I don’t think I’ve pulled an all-nighter since my age ended in “teen”! I’m proud that I stayed awake and coherent.
We got a few hours sleep, did some shopping, and went out on our Saturday night date night, which was fun. On Sunday, we slept in, which we both needed. He lay with his head on my chest while I rubbed his forehead, and we just talked and joked around, planning our day. Usually I am very task-oriented, wake up revving to go, so it was nice to just lay in bed together, enjoying the morning and each other.
Some time during the afternoon, he suddenly turned to me and simply said, “I am having a really good weekend with you.” I smiled. Not much Christmas decorating got done after all (okay, none), but that can wait. It was an awesome weekend.
So we are both a tad sleep-deprived today but happy. I am back to tracking my food in my food diary today, and I signed up for a fitness class after work, so no excuses there! Sometimes I dread having to go straight to class after work, but it’s worth it when I get home and my workout is already done for the evening.
I am a few days late joining the Holiday Squat-A-Thon, but I just saw the post about it today. On tap for today, then, is 35 squats. I think I can handle that.
