Ugh. Monday. Work. Blech.
It was cold and I didn't sleep well so I didn't run this morning. Now I'm really grumpy bc I didn't run. Think I may sneak out later this morning. I'll just call it a mental health session.

I'm grumpy this morning too due to awful sleep (hubby had seizure and dog kept wanting out). But thankfully it's a running rest day so I did a hiit workout and attempted the beginner boxing class on my app.
I'm getting ready to drive him to his ear specialist (tinnitus) but suspect it's a waste of time because he didn't go for the hearing test he was supposed to do. Says he didn't know. I TOLD him that he was supposed to. He just wasn't listening to me, I suspect. I swear here's a child sometimes. Geez. Then Costco. I'm looking forward to their rotisserie chicken for dinner tonight.
My good thing from last week is that DD2s bf came home from hospital and although they still haven't received a diagnosis for his liver inflammation they seem to be committed to eating better. It's a step in right direction!

Somehow DH convinced me to go with him to get the state inspection done on the van (I took his car earlier this month, told him he had to do the van). Since it's over towards Target, we decided we'd go there after for something he wanted. We went to three places before we found one that could do the inspection - the first one was really busy, the second doesn't do inspections in the rain (okay?), the third one was literally in the same shopping center as Target. As we were waiting, DH said he didn't remember closing the garage door.......so we had to come back home. Where the garage door was closed. Sigh.
I'm taking my rest day from running today since it's raining - why not wait for nice weather the rest of the week? We are having what I consider perfect temps all week - lows in the upper 30s, low 40s, highs in the 60s. Sunny after today.
Lori, that is an awesome good thing from last week.
Susan, sounds like you definitely need to break away from work for some "mental health."
Gatsby, did I see the 49ers won?
cc, I'd say unless you don't drink at all, a hangover after a 31-mile training run is expected.
My one good thing - my sister set her wedding date for September 24. Her first husband was an ass - I tried to like him, I really did. It wasn't until after they divorced (and after twenty-some years of marriage) that I learned he was worse than I thought. He did provide the sperm that made two amazing humans, but that's about all I give him credit for. Anyway, her fiancé is just a super nice guy and we all think the world of him.

Afternoon! I took today off work and slept in until 9:30am when Hershey decided he got tired of waiting for his breakfast. I waited for the AC guy to get some quotes for smart thermostats (apparently we can't use a Nest because our new furnace is fancy and better than the prior one so we need something like the Eco Bee). Then went to the massage therapist to get some tens for my injured shoulder (the one after the fall). And finished emptying the old house. We are set to have someone clean it so we can list it.
And that's all I've done today!
Sue, hope you were able to sneak your run in.
Lori, hope you get some sleep tonight.
Karen, glad she found a great guy!

WINE o'clock somewhere!
QUIET on here, and I have little to add.
HOWDY everyone!!! OK day at work. Steady, but with easy things.
Have a good one and see y'all tomorrow.

Running rest day. Did an upper body workout after work. Add me to the crappy sleep list.
Quick check in to share my good thing: SF 49ers beat Green Bay on Saturday, in the snow! Did not expect that to happen.
Running rest day for me. Still extra busy at work. Still sleeping poorly.
That's it. Carry on.
