This has been a crazy week.
On Saturday we picked up our exchange student, the most delightful 17 year old girl name Kine from Norway. Ate pizza, chatted and had a nice day. Sunday we went shopping for the many things she needed and cooked burgers on the grill.
On Monday my 20 year old daughter Rachel was scheduled to arrive for a visit. I had an awfully painful rash so on my way to pick her up from the airport I went to the doctor (to find out I have shingles – OUCH!). While I was there she sent me a message that her flight was delayed. Long story short, after six delays, 3 cancelations, 3 flight changes and 29 hours of traveling, my daughter finally made it to town on Tuesday - three hours before she was to be in a wedding. She still needed to buy shoes, get her eyebrows waxed, hair colored and dress steamed. After a flurry of activity we were able to get her to the wedding on time. Barely.
By Wednesday I was exhausted due to having shingles and a lack of sleep. But I still had to work and attend a wedding reception in the evening. I made it through the evening and crashed out as soon as we got home.
Luckily, yesterday was uneventful and I was starting to feel a bit better. Wind wasn’t great but we decided to take the sailboat out for a sail anyway. It actually turned out to be a nice gentle sail and Kine loved the lake and the boat.
This morning I went for the first physical I’ve had in 10 years. I’m not sure why they needed to take 6 viles of blood, but I guess they’re checking everything out. And they are sending me to two more doctors for more tests. I guess that’s the price we pay for getting older.
So with all this going on I haven’t been eating as well as I should and I with shingles I haven’t been able to exercise. Luckily I’ve only gained about half a pound, but I don’t want to make this a habit. So I’m back to better eating TODAY. I’m planning to be back at weight lifting on Monday. Hopefully I’ll be healed enough by then.
