A SUNNY day...a MARVOULOUS feeling!!

I did end up taking Friday off (thanks Whit, Taylor & Bohemian for encouraging me to!) The weather was terrible all day...snowed the entire day. It was nice to just hibernate. I did get the cold/flu thing Tom had! Yuck! The worst part for me has been the middle-back ache I have had for 2 days! My energy level has been low since Thursday, but TODAY!! TODAY is a gloriously sunny day here in New England with no breeze...it has been wonderful! Tom, Paul and myself went out to breakfast and then for a walk around the block with the dog upon our return! SOAKING UP THE RAYS!! It has felt wonderful! Then Paul and I sat in the driveway reading for awhile! Paul baked a spice cake and I am enjoying a slice right now with a cup of tea! YUMMY!

I have some congestion and a slight cough...not too bad. And even with that, I still am in a good mood today! It is DEFINATELY the SUN! The girls from work emailed me on Friday saying my Light Therapy Box was delivered, so that is good news because after today, I know that the light will help my mood and energy!

We are due for another snow storm Tues into Weds I think, so who knows when winter will decide to fade, but I am glad I should start to feel better with the light box...

I hope everyone else is having a wonderful Sunday!!

Layin low and thinking about taking tomorrow off....

Well, besides being diagnosed with SAD and having my @$$ dragging, I think I am fighting the flu/bug/cold that Tom has. I have had a slight headache all day and a little cough. Tom had a killer headache when his started and he has a cough that sounds SOOOOO painful, deep and dry! His throat is so raw. However, I have been taking my Emergen-C every day and today I took 2 doses. I feel I am FIGHTING it, but don't know yet if I will win the battle. My Reiki energy is low (probably due to the SAD), so I don't know how much help I am getting from that....

With all that said, I am thinking about taking tomorrow off. I hate to waste personal days during the winter, just to lay around the house...I usually save them for the summer down at the beach...but it is supposed to snow all day, adding up to about 4-6 inches during the day. That just makes my 45 minute commute MUCH longer and more stressful...

I just don't know what to do...it's not like me to give up on going to work...before it's even time...but I know my body could use the rest right and escape from the stress of the commute on a snowy day...

Why did my parents instill such a work ethic in me? It only seems to supply me with extra guilt!! lol

I can't wait for my Light Therapy Box to arrive!!

I want to be ME again!

Mustering up the energy to post an update...

Well...(heavy sigh)...I am tired to extreme right now. However, I did have a good day. The sun shined on my face my whole drive to work and it felt AWESOME! It set the mood for my day! I was my old self, if only for 8 hours or so! I also ordered a Light Therapy Box today, so that was good news...I REALLY think it will help! Of course the insurance will not pay for it, but a $200 investment in my health and mental well being is worth it! I went to Kick Boxing at 4:30 after work and that really kicked MY ass! I am going to post this and hit the recliner for about an hour and hit the sack by 9:30.

Thank you to those that have checked my blog...I am sorry that I am slow to reply right now...some nights I just don't have the energy by the end of the day. I truly appreciate that you care...it makes this whole ordeal kinda bittersweet...realizing that cyber-semi-strangers care that I am not feeling well...again...cyber-space humbles me...thank you peoples...love ya later...Gail

Been to exhausted to even blog about my tired ass life!!

Geez...time is going by and I am just too tired to even comment on my life in my own blog...sad...very sad...

Last night I didn't even have the energy to pick up my fork and eat dinner...it took a half hour to get through a few bites...pick up the fork, cut a piece of meat, put it in my mouth, lean back in the chair with my arms down...I could have fallen asleep in the chair...

AND YET...all my blood work came back "in the normal range"...my iron, sugar, thyroid...everything! One test is still pending...for SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), but I didn't really think I had that.

So, I don't get it...and it's Valentine's Day and Tom and I were supposed to go out to dinner, but the driveway needs shoveling from the snow/rain event of all day yesterday...so I don't know if we are going out or not...but at this point I don't really care...it takes a lot of energy to go out!!

So, I took these spare minutes to say "HEY" to my blog and then go back to the recliner to close my eyes until he is done shoveling..

Called out sick today...

I am just so FUCKING tired lately. I woke up at 5:30am and just couldn't IMAGINE getting out of bed. I did get up...because work was going to be a fluff day anyway...we are having a Super Bowl Party Lunch, so it would have been fun...but as I tried to get myself moving towards the shower, I just couldn't do it. I crawled back in the bed...rolled over and it was 8:00am, called work and said I wasn't coming. Rolled back over and it was 10:30am! Finally dragged my sorry ass out of bed.

I have a doctor appt for Tuesday, but I called the doctor's office to see if they could get me in today..but they were booked up...I just want to have blood work run to check everything...my iron level, my thyroid, my cholesterol, my sugar...just everything.

I would think that my energy level should have gone up since I started at the gym 3 months ago, but it hasn't kicked in...I keep getting this nagging feeling about my thyroid, so I definitely want that checked. There has to be SOME reason why I feel like shit!

Today we are getting a sleet/freezing rain storm. Tom and I are supposed to go out to dinner with Lisa & Steve and another couple I only met once, Steve and Paula. Hopefully the weather won't effect our getting together.

Well, I'm gonna go snuggle up with a nice warm blankey and my book...
