today is day 3 of being on meds. i've had my ups and downs. mainly because i've always been on the sensitive side when it comes to meds, so the side effects have me in a somewhat zombie-like state.
i slept until nearly 11am this morning!! definitely out of the ordinary for an early riser. i'm feeling pretty okay so far though. really battling the urge to hit the gym for a hard cardio sesh. i know it's probably not the best thing to put my body though right now... being off my normal gym routine is making me stir crazy though. i'm such a physically restless person that it's nearly impossible for me to be idle. hurry up and get better body! this girl wants to get her run, lifting, and spin on!!!
tuesday i spent nearly all day at the Interbike trade show. cycling and triathlon are a part of my work portfolio, and happen to be the two areas i'm anything but an expert in. i have a road bike, but don't ride nearly enough (actually haven't ridden in over a year) to group myself in with the roadies. also, i've never done a triathlon, so there's that. but i love going none the less. there's always so much to learn about. new technology. new gear. and plenty more that really just goes over my head haha.
my day was pretty booked with appointments, which meant a lot of running around. i held up well, considering i realized half way in that i'd been running a fever all morning. the convention hall is kept at like 30 below zero (okay, a little exaggeration haha), so nearly everyone had a sweatshirt on. except for me. i was in a tee and still drenched in sweat and clammy as... well a clam? by the end of the day, my head was about to explode and my body felt like i'd been run over. needless to say, i crashed as soon as i got home.
yesterday started out rough too. i was supposed to go to Interbike again, but felt absolutely 100% terrible and so, so nauseous. i almost went home a couple hours within getting to the office, but held it together the best i could. even sick i am stubborn and don't like parting with my sick/vaca pay unless it's for good reason. by late morning the nausea had passed and i was feeling pretty okay. well, more than okay since i was starving. :)
i'm sort of glad i stayed at the office instead of going to the convention. my team begins working at our new headquarters on monday, so yesterday was our very last day at the "old" office. maybe it's cheesy, but i'm a little nostalgic like that. after nearly 5 years of working on the same campus, i sort of became attached. it's a little bittersweet, although i am thoroughly excited to begin a new chapter.

| my desk looks so sad and lonely. and corporate! |
a little highlight from yesterday was receiving my initial necklace from Fifth Bond. i love, love, love it.



I'm so sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well! It's so hard to function in moments when you're not feeling 100%. A few sick days always make me appreciate the times I'm feeling good. And I love the necklace! I've never heard of fifth bond before - going to have to check them out!
ReplyDeletethank you :) you are absolutely right; being sick makes me think about how lucky i am to be in good health more often than not. i'd never heard of fifth bond either until seeing them recently on living social. i'm kind of a sucker for a good living social deal lol. their pieces are beautiful! and made right in new york from what i know.
