Top 5 Reasons Why I Haven't Posted
5. I'm still sick. Had to go to urgent care today. I've got a case of the gooey eye and a sore throat x 5 days. The nurse practitioner WANTED me to puke, I swear. She smiled as she stuck two swabs down my throat and wiped away for a good 45 seconds. I had to punch her.
4. My kitchen sink and dishwasher became operational just last night, so, Monday to Saturday with no kitchen. Now, Brian has placed every item from my lower cabinets on my kitchen floor. For cleaning purposes. Except, is he in there cleaning? Am I? Nooooo.
3. Ben's sick, and as of last night, Ava is too. Oozy noses to go with my gooey eye. UPDATE: John has presented with a sore throat and runny nose. Trifecta!
2. I'm so busy running to the acupuncturist, orthopedist, and physical therapy, applying heat and ice, and doing exercises for my ankle (aka, the ankle from hell). It still hurts but has stopped swelling for no apparent reason. Now it must have a valid reason, such as elliptical machine shopping or too much walking.
1. Because of all of the above, as well as my own inherent laziness, my house is a disaster zone. No, seriously. Even worse than usual.
I'm feeling a tad desperate these days. Desperate for normalcy. Desperate for a house that's functioning, without these clogged walkways I have everywhere lately. Desperate to have my kitchen and my ankle back. Desperate to go for walk, to break a sweat, to blow off some steam.
When I feel this way, my vegetable consumption goes down and my carb and fat intake goes up. I start staying up too late. The Viscious Cycle begins. Maybe you've been on that ride before? I think I'm too old for it now.
What gets me the most at times like these, when I start to lose my inertia, is that I don't get to hang out with my kids the way I want to. I can't give them the kind of day I want them to have. I miss out on the time with them, the memories, and they miss out on the day too. Or the week.
Once I can get some cardio exercise, everything else will fall into place. So, to that end, I'm off to do some toe weightlifting.
Yes, that's right. I'll be wearing the ankle-accentuating bathing suits this summer.

It sounds like a rough time. Take good care of yourself. Try to only do the things that make you feel bad if you don't do them. Other things can wait. Think of ways to enjoy a more mellower, quieter day with your kids. Those can be good, memorable days too.
