But maybe we can be grateful for anything. I got sick friday night with a sore throat. I drank a bunch of rum and non diary eggnog, it&#8217;s a great combo if you have the chokey coughs. I spent most of the day Saturday on my computer, or napping, or reading. I just gave in and allowed myself to not feel bacd about all of the things I had plans that required me to move my body around a whole bunch, like work on my dresser\/clothes in the closet, or clean up and organize my office. I snuggled with my dogs a whole bunch and got quite a bit of work done. Today it continues. I feel better but don&#8217;t feel like moving much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing this quiet time has bought me is some time to think about my health. It&#8217;s been a challenge for me to take my life and health seriously since August. I&#8217;ve kind of been on some sort of protest where the only person that suffers from it is me. I think I&#8217;m ready to start now. I signed up for the 100 mile Petal Pedal ride in June, so I have a goal to work towards. I checked my glucose numbers today, they aren&#8217;t good. So I need to lose weight and exercise more to get them down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, this couple days of sick time have allowed me some time to put some sort of plan together and do some time rallying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know, this is a weird one to be grateful for.
