The kids are at my in-laws. I was supposed to get up and go for a run this morning. My ass and legs are angry at me for yesterday's workout and I drank too much wine at dinner. I think I'm going to stay in bed.
Eta: I got up, pounded some water, and went for my run. It's my first run of any measurable distance this year. 5k in 35 minutes. I'm wavering between being proud of myself, and wondering how much better I could have done if I hadn't eaten/drank like shit last night.
I'm supposed to do an indoor triathlon at my gym this morning. Last night as I was getting stuff ready I realized I hadn't gotten any emails or confirmations about it, so I started searching through everything I had for it. Of course I found nothing, called the gym, they had no information, and finally emailed the race director. She explained that 'many people had found that the confirmation email had gone into spam, but no worries! Your wave goes off at 8:40! There's also one opening at 8:20 if you want to come earlier!' Except that I'd signed up for the 9:40 wave specifically because I need to use the child care center at the gym, which doesn't open until 9. I emailed her back explaining this, suggesting that I can come at 9 and see if there are any no-shows, but she hasn't responded. Ugh. I know it's technically my fault for waiting until the last minute, but still, I'm annoyed.
It is another day working in the yard and building panels for the garden fence. The sun is already out which makes the current temp of 35 degrees not seem so bad. We have two helpers coming today so I am hoping we will gets a whole lot done.
On the list are painting, building, raking, and maybe scrubbing the decks.

We are going to Day out with Thomas today. Should be a good time, except I threw my back out yesterday and it isn't much better today. I only have toradol for it.
Ella fell asleep at my parents' last night, so I left her there because I can't carry her. I should get myself ready and go get her, but taking my time.
I have apparently learned something since college because I drank just enough yesterday at the beer festival and dinner that I think Gatorade and breakfast might kick this hangover. We are lazing about in the hotel contemplating breakfast options and heading home to hang out with DS. Returning to college has been fun but it has made me feel old. I spent most of the beer festival asking what the kids were wearing and where their coats were. DH was calling me grandma.
CurlyQ284 would you do D hall for nostalgia or J's for delicious bagels if you were me?

I need to get out of bed and go continue painting the living room then sand down the kitchen cabinets (which I washed yesterday with the TSP cleaner, I thought I was going to barf they were so gross)
I am getting ready to go workout and then into the office to work on my presentation for my portfolio. The portfolio has been with my committee for weeks. I just need to decide what I should talk about for 20 minutes lol. My reflection focused on how I started with such a bad case of self doubt and how I slowly gained the confidence over the years. I think I am going to show a diagram with pictures of my first year. My first class was when I was in my first trimester. Then my second class was when I was in my third trimester, but deep in worry about Leo's early arrival. My third class was right when I returned to work and Leo wouldn't take a bottle. So on top of the guilt of being back at work all day I also sat in class at night. I think it would be fun to visually show the struggle that aided to my doubt in that first year. My committee will get a kick out of it. I mean But obviously I am not going to like show a picture of me sick with pregnancy or nursing my baby or whatever. But there is some sort of way to visually represent it all.
I am getting so excited. My portfolio is just about my journey and picking artifacts to demonstrate my learning. As I get close to graduation I am feeling so proud of myself. It started off so rough. I broke through some major barriers. And the cherry on the top was getting my new job.

Js. Omg I love their bagels! Or D-hall and then take a dozen bagels to go. My nana used to slice bagels, wrap them in saran wrap and stick them in a zip lock in the freezer
I'm probably doing a lot of nothing. I might get caught up on Mad Men. (I'm almost to the break of season 7.) I may also start putting a few things together/start packing for next weekend. I get to take 30 high school seniors to Wisconsin for 4 days.
It's mostly ok. I had my feelers hurt on the first night. DHs cousin made me feel like a bad mom. Yesterday I realized he's a giant douchebag so I feel better about it lol.
ILs arrived yesterday and DS adores them. More cousins to meet too so hopefully today goes well! DS hasn't napped since we got here but he's been doing ok.

Church, then staining the new patch of hardwood that got installed yesterday in our bedroom. After that, DH is off to the Yankees game, so the kids and I are on our own.
wtf Florida? 80 at 6 am already? If this is any indication of what summer will be, I'm fucked! Lol! My run today was HOT! But I finished! Later yoga, lesson plans, errands, relaxing

I was supposed to have brunch with friends but it's falling apart. I have a cold? allergies? I'm not sure so I'm taking it easy today.
My legs are still so tired from walking around BrickFest yesterday. My nephew and Lucy had SO MUCH FUN though, it was so worth it. That was a LOT of waddling for me though lol.
I must have somehow gotten a man cold, because I'm gonna complain about it some more, lol!
Well, not the cold directly. My doctor suggested I use Flonase, and I think that shit triggered a massive migraine yesterday. My migraines follow a pattern. They almost never come on earlier than 5 p.m. This one started at 2 - about 45 minutes after I took my first full dose of Flonase. And it was awful. My migraines almost always go away with 2 migraine pills and a nap. Not this one. I was suffering for hours until I broke the rules and doubled my dose.
I looked it up, and all Flonase will admit to is that headaches can be a side effect. But there are stories all over the internet from migraine sufferers that Flonase was a big trigger.
So since I had a massive dose of caffeine, I didn't get to sleep until 6 a.m. With coughing and congestion the whole time since none of this medicine is actually working.

A FB friend of mine posted an article yesterday about new businesses in my city. We checked out a wine bar and tapas place last night and LOVED it. We even purchased one of the pieces of art that was hanging on the wall.
Today we're going to check out the used book store and the bakery. The weather here is great and perfect for a walk.
Going to lunch with my bff at this cute sandwich shop. Coming home and then hitting up Earth Fare for some lunch things. Still tired from yesterday's beer fest so its going to be a slow day.
The sun is out!! It has been gloomy for the past three days. I am so excited.
We want to get some yard work done today, go hiking, take Rox for a walk, and I'm in search of a thick brown belt I can wear at the waist over some dresses, so I'll probably hit up the mall too.
I slept in this morning; it was so needed! I'm about to make pancakes, then we'll work outside a bit. H is going to mow, I'm going to put together out composter and plant annuals in the planters at our front steps. Then finish menu planning and grocery shopping.
H wants to watch Pitch Perfect, so we might watch that this evening.

We have a sitter coming in a couple of hours so H and I can go to a bacon festival that the kids didn't want to go to. The weather looks like it's not going to cooperate (wind), but I still can't wait. We also need to finish up laundry and do some cooking for the week after we get home.
DS (almost 3) has a fever of 104.7 before Advil. Ugh. He's drinking ok though and he's Prone to high fevers so I'm hoping we can avoid the ER. There are no walk_in clinics open on Sunday's without driving an hour.
It's a beautiful day and I hate to waste it sitting inside!
