Still Sick, But Doing Better

So I'm still a little under the weather. I did make it a whole day at work Friday, and yesterday, too. Over the weekend I was doing okay, and even wrangled up enough gumption to help the Hubs rake leaves while we actually had some sunshine. Then he washed the dishes, and I loaded them into the DW. Then he moved on to cleaning off the dining room table (which is perpetually covered in random stuff). That's when I called it quits. I definitely over did it. I was sapped of what little energy I had. But it was nice to get outside for a while.

I still haven't run, because my lungs feel like they're not working at full capacity- kind of like someone is sitting on my chest or something. I can almost feel my cardio endurance wasting away. I am signed up for a 5k this Saturday, Valentine's Day, which I fully intend to do, but I'm thinking it might have to be much slower than originally planned, and will most likely not PR- which is okay. It will just be a good way to start the day, since the Hubs and I are planning a meat feast at the Brazilian steakhouse (Rodizio Grill) that afternoon. We decided for our V-Day date, we would have a late lunch, then go see a movie (probably Taken). We have gift certificates for both, and we'll pay the lunch price at the restaurant, and get the matinee price for the movie- score!! See, there are still ways to have fun on a budget.

So, even though I have a little over an hour left at work, I may leave early. It snowed this morning, and I am just not feeling so hot. Well, actually I am feeling a bit warm, and that's the problem. Plus, my boss is out of the office on business this week, so it's super slow. Why not go home and get the rest that my body apparently needs? And maybe stop off and get another honey butter cinnamon scone- doh! Just kidding about that one. Well, kinda. Now that I said that, it sounds really good. But it's probably not what my body needs to heal itself from the snot overload that's going on in my head. 

I am so sick of sneezing and blowing my nose. At least I finally brought some good kleenex to work so that I don't have to use the scratchy stuff on my already raw nose-skin. But the good thing is, whatever you peeps are doing (praying, crossing fingers, etc.) is working, because the Hubs is not sick. Wahoo!!!! But it still sucks because he's afraid to be in the same room with me. Last night, he finally laid down on the futon to watch TV together. But as long as he stays healthy, it will be worth it.
