Hello Again

I received a text last night around 9:30pm from my mom

stating "I'm waiting for the next blog instalment!"

So I am back!

It has been a VERY long week. I was still struggling to

find energy from this rotten cold I caught over the 

holidays. To top it off we came home and it was

right back to work, so the routine has been 

hard to find this week. I allowed myself the

luxury to sleep in as much as my body felt

necessary, FINALLY I woke up feeling much 

better today. I hate that nagging exhaustion that

illness brings on. Rhys was lucky enough 

not to catch the cold but on Saturday he

was still asleep when I woke up {which is VERY odd}.

I thought perhaps he was sick so I tip toed out of our

bedroom and puttered around all day. Finally at 3pm 

when I was leaving for work, he woke up. 

His body must have been fighting something and needed

the R&R. We had so much fun on our little holiday

but it wasn't a restful one. There was so much to see and

do and lots of visiting to catch up on. I guess we didn't do 

ourselves any favours by coming home sleep deprived.

Lesson learned. 

I was supposed to come back and work 5 shifts and then

off but that pesky OT call came in so I ended up working 6.

Then I was to be off for 1 and back but luckily my

fantastic opposite {Hi Deena} traded me today for 

Friday. 2 days off feels like bliss right now!

Another good thing for the day was waking up,

jumping on the scale and seeing I was down 4.4lbs since 

last Wednesday. Small steps but they are 

at least in the right direction!

I also finished my first book of my new years goals. 

It was called "bird in hand".

Not the best book but not the worst either. It seemed

like it would make a better movie plot than a book.

{I didn't realize there was such a book until this one}

It followed the life of 2 couples. The women were childhood

friends. Then one of the women starts having an affair with the

other ones husband... blah blah blah... You get the point.

Anyways, not one on the recommend list so kindly ignore 

my 1st choice of the year!
