Today was harder than yesterday. I was up most of the night coughing--every time I would start to fall asleep, I would have another coughing fit. This always happens to me at the tail end of a cold, and it's pretty awful. I was so exhausted this morning that there was no way I could go to my barbell class. I LOVE that class, and I haven't been to it in two weeks. It's chafing--my body is standing in its own way. I am beginning to understand why the hippie always gets so mad when he's sick: it really starts to feel like a self-betrayal after a while! This kids had a rougher time today, too. Everyone was tired and grumpy all afternoon. Early bedtimes all around today. I am determined to get some better rest tonight somehow.
I did manage to get outside and walk at lunchtime today, though it was FREEZING! It was beautiful and sunny, but so windy and cold that I didn't make it quite as far as usual. When my fingers started burning, I decided it was time to head back inside. Once again, I finished my steps in the house last night while logging my food for the day--that's starting to feel like a pretty efficient use of my time. :-)
The funeral for my aunt has been scheduled for Thursday, so I skipped knitting tonight to get some things ready to go for that. I should be able to make Zumba tomorrow night, but I'll be driving Thursday morning during my barbell class, and I'll miss Friday's Zumba class for sure. Maybe I'll take some workout gear with me to my mom's house and try to make time to get something in there, even if it's abbreviated. We'll see what the schedule allows.
