I put a few vacation days at the end of my 3 day weekends this month so I’ll get some extra time off! This coming weekend will be 4 days off

Checking in. This morning I made it a point to not go to work super early. I took some time after my coffee and did some stretching and listened to some music. I know I won’t have time to do it every day but it was nice. Then I worked of course and ran some errands. I plan on taking the dogs to a walking trail down the road this weekend and I asked the hubs if he wants to go. He said yes… I hope he goes and doesn’t back out.

Checking in. Work sucked but we started 6 new homes today so the level of suck is gonna be pretty high for a while. After work the hubs went with me and the dogs to the walking path. That was really nice and I was pleasantly surprised. Overall it wasn’t a terrible day though.

Getting off work. Gonna go ahead and check in so y’all don’t think I went off the rails lol
Having one of my HAE episodes so off to lay down for me. I’ll probably just sleep most of the rest of the day. It started yesterday so I’m hoping maybe tomorrow I’ll be on the upswing.
Side note- I’m really happy with the hubs today. He knew I starting swelling yesterday and I think he saw it in my face that I was not in a mood for anything. He didn’t talk to me this morning and when I came out of my office for lunch. I talked to him a bit and told him I appreciated him just letting me be. I’m really irritable (started today also 
) and I just really needed that space. And because he gave it to me we avoided what I’m sure would have been an argument. I know me and I would have started one

Happy for you Jenn. It sounds like the communication and listening is having an impact

Checking in. A very lazy and laid back down. I did some laundry and dishes and went grocery shopping but not much else. Spent the day with the hubs. Hanging out and talking mostly but also a bit of tv too. He is making excuses each time I bring up the book we are suppose to be reading. We have our next counseling on Monday and I’m gonna bring it up. Maybe we can figure out what’s up with that. My hips are back to normal and I’m ready for a full day tomorrow. It’s only suppose to be about 40 in the morning so I’m planning a sunrise run and I’m pretty excited for that.

Running in 40 degrees?? Admire you but wouldn’t be joining in. 
I hope you enjoy/enjoyed. Sorry hubs won’t read the book. He initially seemed motivated. We all know how that goes, though. I hope the counselor can be helpful and encouraging.

Lol it ended up being 37 with an intense wind I didn’t know about. I stopped after about 10 minutes to think about my life choices 
I kept going. Back at the house and trying to get warm now.

The wind would have done me in!! And why does it seem that no matter what direction you are going you are running IN to it? Ugh!!

I very much remember my numerous runs in the pitch black darkness of those early winter mornings. Sub-zero wind chills. 3 layers up top, 2 layers of pants, 3 layers of socks, 2 layers of gloves. Winter beanie with a hood tied around it so only my nose and eyes were out, I was like Kenny from “South Park”. Constantly afraid I was going to hit an ice patch and fuck my day up.
Now I just have to make sure I don’t step on a rattlesnake, aka danger noodle. Track pants and a thin hoodie have been doing the trick for winter running, and even then, I feel hot by the end.

It all for the love of the game,right? Not because we’re disordered?

Well, I did regularly question what the HELL was wrong with me on more than a few of those runs!
