Still Standing

It's taking all the effort I can summon up to stay in my chair and not lie down on the couch. Or the floor. Flat would be nice, but I can't risk a nap, as much as I'd like one. Ever since that late phone call on Tuesday, I've had trouble falling asleep before one or two in the morning, and since it's back to work tomorrow with a 5:30 wake up call, no nap for me today. Maybe it'll help.

I have been the busy bee. I got all the laundry done and put away yesterday, including things that needed to be laid out to dry, which I avoid when I can. The living room remains orderly. Starting yesterday, but mostly today, I froze lots of lunch portions of all the leftovers, as well as the stuff that wasn't left over so I had to make more. K and I did get to Target today a little after nine and it was empty, so the returns got done, as well as a few more gifts bought.

Well, I guess I am hooked on the Wii Fit, but it's probably the healthiest addiction I've ever had. I am feeling good in terms of energy and such, but certain parts of me are just always sore. For example, I can't have a bad back for 35 years and cure it in two weeks of working out, and my feet hurt because my feet hurt. I know that as I learn to do the exercises in better form, some of the hurting will go away, and even what doesn't, well, it's still good for me. It wouldn't hurt if I could talk to a human trainer about it (as opposed to the trainers in the program, of whom I'm getting a little tired, I can tell you); I wonder if I could talk to the trainer at school. I know there is one, but I have no idea where he even works, or if talking to him about this is available to me. I mean, for all I know, he's only there after school to work with the athletes. I'll have to see what I can find out about that.

So, other than everything hurting, I feel pretty good. I've been Crohnish here and there for the last few days, but nothing serious, I think, just a blip. I've experimented with some foods I've been careful about, which may have aggravated it a bit, but on the whole, doing well.

Back to the book mines tomorrow.
