Our Simple Life

Light on Snow and taking it easy

A few days ago I bought a book called Light On Snow by Anita Shreve. Over a year ago I read another one of her books called The Pilot's Wife and it was a good read so I'm hoping I enjoy this one as well. I'm on page 60 now and so far it's good. She has a way of writing where it's somewhat suspenseful but not scary at all (which is good because I don't do scary!)

This morning when I woke up my ears were aching and throat was a little sore. I took some Dayquil and it helped a lot. I didn't exercise at all yesterday (that will be my off day for the week) and so far today I've walked one mile. I just don't have much energy for some reason. I hope I'm not getting what M and J have.

J is doing much better. Last night he slept 12 hours without any coughing. : ) Today he has been more energetic but he has such bags under his eyes! You'd think he had very little sleep last night. Maybe it's the steroids. I don't know.

Stephen has to work tomorrow, again. It's good that he's getting so much overtime now (financially, I mean) but I miss him being home.

I was in the kitchen a lot this morning. I made banana muffins, banana nut bread and peanut butter cookies. I filtered 4 gallons of water too. Washed the dishes in the sink and emptied the dishwasher. Did I mention I also did laundry?

Can all of that count as exercise (especially since I didn't eat any of the stuff I made)? ;)

Maybe I'll feel up to riding the bike tomorrow.
