Just an update.

Two days ago, my sickly self slept all day because the stomach bug had its hold on me. Then, that night, I had trouble falling asleep, as you may remember, due to the fact that my last blog post took place around 4:00 am. Well, I didn't get to sleep until 6 am that morning! It was a strange sensation falling asleep as sunlight was beginning to seep through my bedroom window.

Needless to say, I slept late yesterday morning! When I finally did wake up, I was informed that poor Christian had caught my bug. He literally slept all day yesterday. So, while my family headed out to church (which I was sad to miss- apparently it was extra great yesterday!), I stayed home and dozed, watched Project Runway, and layed out/ swam in our back yard. It was a nice, lazy morning. For lunch, I ordered a gluten-free Domino's pizza! Their new crust is absolutely delish!!

By this point in the day, I was feeling pretty restless. I mean, I had just spend five days flopping on the beach, and a day and a half being lazy and sickly. So, when the rest of the fam got home, I got dressed and headed out to Academy Sports (I had to pick up a new swimsuit for lap swimming) and then to the gym! Ahhh, it felt incredibly wonderful to work out again! I can't even explain. I really do go considerably crazy when I go long periods of time without working out. At the gym, I did lower body, power walked, and swam laps. It was lovely. 

Today is going to be the same as yesterday in that I will be lazy for the first half of the day, and then active for the second half! I didn't wake up this morning until about 10:30, which was fabulous. Then, I made my way downstairs and ate a bowl of Cinnamon Chex (gluten-free glory!) for breakfast. Now, I'm blogging up a storm. Around 2:45, Julia is going to pick me up, drop me off at physical therapy for my elbow, and then pick me up again in time for us to make it to Hip Hop Latin Spice- my favorite class at the gym!! 

Julia is doing all of the dropping off and picking up because my car is in the shop. It should be ready later today...fingers crossed! Once I got my own car, it has become hard to imagine how I ever got by without one!! Haha. I do so much running around on a regular basis. Thank the Lord for sweet friends like Julia who help me out when I'm in a bind!! 

Speaking of friends. I miss my Eli! We have both been traveling like crazy people. First, I was at the beach and she was in California. Now, she's at the beach. Then, with one day in between when she gets home and when I head out (we WILL hang out.), I'm heading to DC with my daddio! Then, when I get back, Eli and her mom and sister are headed to the Grand Cayman!! So, basically, mine and Eli's summer together doesn't start until she arrives back home on June 7th. At least we are getting all of the big trips done early and all bunched together! After that, we can both look forward to the trip to Destin that we are taking with my family in July! I'm so excited, I tell you!!

Wow. This post got a little lengthy. Goodness gracious, if you are still reading this, I have an enormous amount of respect for you!

I'm off to...piddle until lunchtime, I suppose.
