Pushing the reset button
After a week long hiatus on the exercise front due primarily to a cough and head cold I just can't seem to shake, I managed to push the reset button and get my butt downstairs for an hour on the exercycle.
It's been a crappy week. Crappy at work. And cranky at home. Me, that is. Cranky. With Tim bearing the brunt of it and Bobbin getting some of the leftovers. Some of the crankiness is... well... expected, if you know what I mean, while some of it is just coming out of nowhere. I am not sure if the month of different generic antidepressants is partially to blame; not sure how long it takes for that stuff to kick back in. It also doesn't help that it is November in Seattle. Which means rain and dreary grey skies. Lots of rain. And I pulled something in my back late this afternoon, putting laundry in the dryer. I'm gettin' old.
All that combined - different meds; PMS; lack of exercise; head cold that won't go away; back that won't bend - doesn't make for great mental health.
But today I exercised. And then I took a shower. And I gave myself a facial. And I deep conditioned my hair. And I shaved my legs. And then I took a bubble bath. And then I warmed my jammies up in the dryer so they'd be all snuggly (Tim and I used to do this for Bobbin when she was a baby. Oh my god... did I just say "used to... when she was a baby"? Ugh. I guess I will find myself saying that a lot more from hereon out).
So Today is now DAY 1. Tomorrow I start a new week, and attempt anew to achieve my weekly exercise goals. Wish me luck. And sunshine.

I'm right there with you....if you know what I mean. I had a massage session last week to fix my aching hip problem, the next day I went to work and while I was just sitting there at my desk, my back spasmed...and I am now a bitchy, tired, sore mother and wife...waiting for my daily dose of happy meds to kick in...
