It is soooo good to be home! 

I had a great time with my mom, it was wonderful to see her and to relax and not worry about anything for a few days. 

I got spoiled 

Homemade belgin waffles. 

We took the dogs for a nice long walk on an old logging road

Then my cold struck back with a vengeance and this has been my steady diet 
 

Somebody is very happy to be home in her own  bed

I thoughy it fitting to watch some Twilight after spending 6 days in Forks

 Now that i am home i am adding homeopathy to my sickness regiment 

Come on oregano, don’t  let me down. The slique is for all the over eating that has happened lol. Though the last 2 days i haven’t been overeating since i can barely taste anything due to my super plugged up nose, sad face. If i don’t  see massive improvement by Tuesday it’ll be time to call yhe DR to see if its something more serious than a cold.

How was your Holiday?

A vacation at mom’s house is the best, all the stress of life just falls away and you get to be 12 again and not worry about anything.

We watched more Bones.

Stayed nice and cozy through all the rain that is coming down. 

Took the crazy dogs for a walk during a 15 minute time period of lighter rain

Then hit the gym for a little run. I took it easy since I’m still a little phlegmy.

Post  gym selfie while mom was running errands.

Got coffee afterwards, yes there are still Twilight themed things here. Weirdly i totally love that, brings a little bit of fiction to life. 

I’ve also been enjoying lots of sudoku.

Now it’s  off to bed for me. See you on Thanksgiving !!!!

Cold and flu season is upon us. Where i used to work, this time of year, i felt like i was always fighting things off and there was not enough fresh air being pumped through. I got let go on Monday and by Wednesday was laid up on the couch with a cold. An influx of stress then time to finally relax brought my immune system down so i thought i would look at when you are suppost to workout and when you are not. 

Based on what my little research online showed if you have symptoms just above the neck like sore throat, headache, runny nose, sneezing, and teary eyes you can work out anything below the neck such as coughing, colored phlegm, vommiting, diarrhea or a fever of over 101 and you should sit it out. 

I also found that it said that vigorous activity can lower your immune systems in the short term where as easy or medium activity can bolster your immune system so if you feel up to it go for a walk outside in the fresh air but leave your speedwork until later.  

My sick list

Always have good books around to read

Lot’s of fluids and vitamins 

Netflix marathon 

Soup

Over the counter medicine to help the extra vitamins. 

What do you do when you are sick?

This is going to be short at sweet because I’m about to fall asleep. 

I had a great day. The BF and I went mini golfing

I was only 5 over par, i will call that awesome!!! Then he took me for sushi because i haven’t had it in forever, even though he does not like it lol, he is so sweet. 
Next we went and saw Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, super cute, loved it!!!! 

And lastly my roommate too me out to a congratulations on getting fired here’s to better things in the future dinner lol

Now i have to get all this makeup off and pass out so i can get up and run in the  AM.
