On the mend??

Well, three weeks later, I'm still not feeling better. My antibiotics are almost gone & I'm still stuffed up, coughing up crap, & have body aches. Maybe my doctor was right & all I have is a nasty virus. Last Saturday night, I finally gave in & bought a humidifier. It has been a huge help in getting me to sleep. I still wake up occasionally during the night, but I can usually fall right back to sleep with out having to get up and take more drugs. I slept all day last Sunday & felt a little better. But, this week has been long & stressful & any progress I made was lost by Thursday. Thankfully, because of parent teacher conferences this week, we had Friday off. After spending some time watching TV with my brother Thursday night, I fell asleep & didn't wake up until 9:30 Friday morning. I got up, ate breakfast, watched The Biggest Loser, & went back to bed around 11:30 AM. I woke up again round 2:30 PM. I kept thinking I needed to get stuff done, but all I felt like doing was watching TV. I managed to shower & go to the store, but was in bed by 9:30PM. I hope I can finally get over this crap. I want to start working out again. I've got about a month now until the 5K race. Even if I'm feeling better, this week will be difficult to get to the gym. Monday I have to go to Costco & buy stuff for Enrichment, Tuesday I have rehearsal, Wednesday I'm going to see Pirates at Hale, Thursday I have to prep & serve our Relief Society dinner. I guess I'll resume workouts next weekend.
