Just Another Monday

At the risk of sounding repetitive, I am sharing another Monday morning saga. I woke about three or four times through the night feeling all but completely slept. To my dismay, when the time to truly get up came around I didn’t want to. In fact, I felt dog tired. I toyed with the idea of calling in ill, but in the end I didn’t. Rarely, if ever, do I. I made my way downstairs and went about my exercises all while shrugging off the sleepiness as much as I could. Instead of waking up, I continued feeling tired and almost on the verge of throwing up. Oh Joy! I didn’t, though. I battled through the ill feelings thinking what a waste it would be to take a sick day when I am feeling ill. I’d sooner prefer to take a day when it’s sunny, warm, and I feel like a million bucks. It didn’t help matters that my shoulders and back were still feeling the affects from the weight lifting strain. I may have to rethink my routine a little. I readied for work after meditating, packing my lunch, and making my breakfast. I dressed comfortably in jeans in an effort to feel better. It worked to some degree. The weather today was expected to reach the low to mid 50’s with a mixed bag of sunshine and clouds. I didn’t drive the BM’er but gave it a moments thought. Once at work I quickly acclimated myself to the task at hand. I continued battling the sleepies all morning long. Despite feeling less than stellar I kept very busy working hard up till 12:45pm when I finally broke free for my afternoon run. I dressed in two light layers which proved to be very comfortable for the day’s weather. After my run I returned to my office for some much needed nutrition. I had to hurry though because I had a call with a customer at 2pm. It lasted almost 1.25 hours. It was well after 3:15pm when I finally finished my food. The rest of the afternoon when pretty darn quick. I left the office some time around 5:15pm. This was a Monday which meant it was a Mindy Monday. She would be over sometime around 6:00pm. She didn’t work today since she was up all night with a sick kid, Jacob. He managed to throw up all over her bed – twice! EWH!!! Show up at 6:00pm she did. We spent some time chatting then decided on something to eat. Tonight we made cream of chicken over rice. It’s easy, quick, and satisfying. After dinner we did some hot tubbing – both of us were sore. Before she left for home, Mindy watched me apply the finishing touches to my nightstand. Nine days later I have finished my bedroom painting project- again! After Mindy left I spent a little time reading but found my way to the blissful land of sleep rather quickly.
