working out for Disney

[StarWarsGirl]

I played pretty well too! I worry more about the texting, because I have to wonder what I might agree to in my sleep. It does make me wonder if my recent exhaustion is tied to me doing things in my sleep and being unaware of any of it. I could put one of our security cameras in the bedroom to get a better picture of what's going on, but I think it might add to the sleep insomnia anxiety I've been experiencing. What's funny is that the kid with whom I was texting and playing checkers used to sleep walk when she was younger. It stopped after we moved and before she turned 9, but she used to come downstairs or into a room with us and have the most bizarre conversations. Nothing alarming in content, just really silly stuff. Every now and then, while traveling, she'll talk to us in her sleep too. Now, I don't think any of us have ever offered a cowboy song while we were sleeping!

Mom and I will both have conversations in our sleep. If one of both of us appears sleepy, you can't talk to us about anything important because we might actually be asleep and we won't remember it. She knew she did it and then when she realized I was doing it, she was like, whelp, okay, that's my kid.

My brother sleepwalks if he's really tired. Last time we were in Hilton Head, he and I were sharing a room, and he got out of bed and went to the closet and started pulling clothes down. I got up and was like, no, come here, go back to bed...

E has been watching a tik tokker who sleepwalks and does silly stuff in her sleep. It's amusing. I'll have to see what the name is.

celinaspookyboo is her name. Watch it. It will make you feel better about playing checkers.

I'll have to check it out. I feel old saying this, but I'm still trying to learn my way around TikTok.

That reminds me a bit of my mom. I remember visiting my parents after moving to Houston and my mom dozed off on our way back from the airport. I was behind her in the backseat, so I had no idea she was asleep. My brother was driving and I remember something happening with a Jeep that caused him to make a snarky comment. I replied saying that "chicks dig guys in Jeeps." My mom sits up and loudly proclaims in reply "you're probably right!" I guess my brother also didn't realize she was sleeping and was like "ma, you did guys in Jeeps?" She shifted into a patchwork of sleepy mumbling about the pool and fishing, and then more incoherent sleep mumbling.

Wow! I guess as long as he cleans up what he took down once he's awake. LOL

Work has been really busy, but I managed a late lunch where I got in some really good biking. Still the same 45 minutes, but I got in something like 15.68 miles. I also went for heavier dumbbells yesterday...and realize that I was referring to my 12s as 8s, when talking about bumping up the weight. So, I used the 12s yesterday for an arm and back workout. I'm feeling a pinch in my upper back this morning...probably from standing rows...so I may have overdone it. I was in a time crunch, so I just did 50 on the twist plate for obliques with my 5lb dumbbells before logging back into work.

Last Thursday was my rest day, so technically this Thursday "should," but I think today is going to be unconventional and tomorrow a break day. We have got to get that rooftop cargo box tested out for installation and I will probably wash the car after that.

He got up another night and started messing with the alarm clock. I'm like, what are you doing? He didn't respond. I made him get back in bed and checked that he hadn't set any random alarms.

I wonder if he does it at home.

So my asthma has been awful all week and I haven't worked out at all. Thankfully no migraines in spite of having to put my workout on hold.

I haven't really had time either. Monday I had to do a grocery store run. Tuesday I had a doctor's appointment. Yesterday I watched Loki on my lunch break (if I hadn't had asthma symptoms, I would have worked out) today I need to vacuum my car out during lunch, and tomorrow I go to the eye doctor to get new lenses put in my glasses. Then Saturday my brother, his friend, and I all go up to Hershey, hence why my car is getting cleaned.

Hoping next week is better asthma-wise.

At some point, when is it too hot to do hour walks every day? I pushed it today and was feeling it when I walked in the door, lol.

I think it's different for everyone. I despise the heat, period. On one of the recent 92-95 degree days, I went for my usual trail walk, and in less than 30 minutes, I felt like I might pass out. So I had to cut it short, and went home to get cool inside.

That said, there are some people who can go running in temps over 100, and they don't seem to mind. Go figure!

I haven't even tried. E uses it and shows me videos sometimes. But I guess it was banned in the US, and they said in our news yesterday that the ban was being removed.

I'm so glad you checked in!! And I'm sorry about the depression. Could it just be covid in general? It's been such a long time of isolating, distancing, etc, and sometimes it feels overwhelming, like it's never going to end. Sure, getting the vaccine should help, but it's also kind of a reminder of all we're missing out on. In any case, I'm glad you're back, and it sounds like your husband's job won't be as bad as you feared.

Now if we would hear from @epcotisbest , I'd feel much better. I'm a bit worried about him since no one seems to have heard from him.

Maybe it is the covid stuff catching up to me. I am an introvert, so all of the restrictions didn't bother me too much, but I guess even I have been approaching my limit. We went to the beach last week and we ate inside the restaurant. It's been at least a year since I've done that. Maybe it's just getting used to everything again. Who knows?

 

[Sans Souci]

Good to hear from you, but sorry that you've had some unexpected situations arise. Hoping everything will be o.k. in due course. I think that for many people, the last year was tough on various levels, and now people are trying to get back to some sort of normal. I think it may take a while for life to settle down again. Hang in there and best wishes.

Thanks. <3 I feel kind of guilty for feeling blah, because I know I fared better than a lot of people. So, I feel like I have no reason to feel blah. But I have some short trips coming up, including one to see my family, so I am gearing up for that.

That second dose can be brutal. My husband and the kids were fine, but it really did a number on me and several I know. I recall going into a funk after getting past the more unpleasant side effects. At least things with your husband's job are better than previously thought, and who knows...it might be fun to every now and then take the train up to visit. With Broadway coming back in September, it could make for some nice little date nights. Plus, even if it's not the cruise, you have some travel on the horizon...and homemade limoncello sounds pretty incredible!

It was a lot worse that I was expecting. I was expecting a day in bed feeling lightly flu-ish. No, this was 102F fever with headache, muscle and joint pain. I did something to my sciatic nerve a couple of months ago and that flared up. I could not get comfortable in bed. This went on for 2 days! I felt better after 2 days, but I was so tired because I hadn't been able to sleep because everything hurt. My husband sailed through his second shot, I was hoping that would be the case for me. No, this hit me like a ton of bricks. I hope the boosters won't be like this. Holy cats.

It is so easy to make limoncello. I get the peels of 3-4 lemons, soak it in 250 ml of ever clear (or vodka) for 3-4 days. Then I make a simple syrup with 250 ml of water and 250 gr of sugar. I mix that with the ever clear minus the peels et voila-limoncello. I like it with club soda on ice.

That's hilarious.

Well I'm 50% on the first part. Drink more water than anything else Nowaday (and not all of it filtered through coffee grounds).
Healthy eating is getting there but am making slow changes one at a time rather than an all out approach.

That's really sensible and will make it more likely those changes will be permanent.

Hello-


Checking in with my workout. It was just light weights and abs. I'm going for a long walk later. It's a little chilly outside, so I want to wait until we hit the high (71) before venturing outside. It has been a bit hot and humid all week, so it feels cold when you go outside.

I spent 2 hours on the phone the other day to buy Boo Bash tickets. That doesn't include the times I got through and got disconnected. I called over 200 times--my phone stops counting at 200. I typically wouldn't bother with this type of event, but I am concerned about the crowds, so this will give us a bit of breathing room. Also, since I canceled my Sept. (Halloween on the High Seas) cruise, I will miss the adult costume party, so this will fill that gap and I can wear my costume.

It's kind of subjective. I will go walking and running in the heat here. I go through phases where I'm good with it, sometimes even craving it. Then there are other times where I want no part of it. I think this weekend is going to be our first upper 90s stretch of the summer, and I'll be outside at softball for a lot of that, so that will help me get used to it, in case I want to brave it in the mornings or evenings. I do make sure to hydrate a lot more in summer outings, lighter moisture wicking clothing is also a must, and I try to avoid middle of the day. It's cooler in the mornings, but generally more humid at that time, so sometimes evenings are better.

There were talks of banning it, but I don't think it ever happened.

Yes, sounds like your dose 2 hit you similarly to what I dealt with as well. It wasn't fun, but it's still better than catching Covid and becoming gravely ill. I do wonder what the boosters will be like and if it'll be this bad.

Wow! That sounds very simple! If I have time, I may have to make some before our trip to FL next month. That sounds perfect for downtime relaxation.

I'm introverted too, but it was definitely getting to me. My doctor put me on an adder to my antidepressant back in February. Of course, my adoptive grandmother died suddenly in January and I did not handle it very well. That was my trigger, but I'm still on it. I think I was like, "Everything's fine, I'm all good" and then suddenly I was like, this is not fine.

Yesterday wound up being a break day. I'm still not sleeping well. I jumped into bed right after work just to rest, woke up over an hour later and was just not good for anything the rest of the night. My husband gave me a lecture on how a nap like that will ruin me at bedtime, but a nap like that happened because I'm sitting in bed for hours not sleeping. The girls are quieting down, so it's not really them keeping me up. They just built in that anxiety at the worst time...when there's so much stress. They really are trying not to be disruptive, but one of them knocked on the other's door at 5am and it woke me up. Shortly after, the younger one went to the bathroom and while she claims she was sleeping, her snarky comeback with too sharp. In other words...she was still awake.

So, I guess today's workout will be trying to mount the cargo box and washing the car. It needs to get done. Not sure what I'm going to do this weekend. The younger one is playing in a tournament (wake ups are going to be brutal for her) and it's not a good place to get in a walk. I think we're also expecting highs of 97 each day. We were planning on driving separately anyway, so I may just go a little bit late each day.
