Well, this doesn’t happen often, but I was wrong! Ha ha. My weigh-in on Saturday was not a gain after all. It was a microscopic loss, which I can’t explain, but I’m just happy it wasn’t a gain.
I was also wrong about that lazy, lounging-around weekend. I did so much manual labor that I felt like I should be pulling a paycheck. We got a lot done, though, and we managed to make it fun, so I didn’t really mind.
Then, the last two days, my body decided to announce, loud and clear, how displeased it has been about my shoddy ways of taking care of it. I coughed all day on Monday, then had a horrible stomachache yesterday. As soon as I opened my eyes, all I wanted to do was sleep. I took my stepson’s dog for a walk and came home sweating like I had just run a marathon, wiped out. I listened to my exhausted body and went back to sleep for a bit.
Today I still feel tired, but not sick, so I am back at work, trying to catch up and dig out from beneath the pile of emails, questions, papers, etc. It’s drizzly and gray today, the perfect day to sleep all day…or maybe I’m just not quite 100% recovered yet!
