8 more days..

Yep I am still resting. I am counting it down. I am in a funk. No dealing with life's little irritations right now, so its all getting me down. We are getting ready for vacation we leave monday night and I work the weekend, and we have mother's day, and the specialist at 7:45 am after I work 3-11 the day before, all before we go. I am keeping busy but I feel sllllllooooooowwwwww.
Its funny the NSAID that lady gave me is non narcotic but I couldn't handle it at all. I slept like a brick that night. I didn't even move until a heard my kid a 4:30(still sick). All day yesterday I was hung over. I couldn't pick up the pile of myself and force it to do anything. I really only take allergy meds, and drink coffee. All that other stuff I must be a "lightweight". It says on the label may cause drowsiness, but it doesn't say 24 hours of it. dang. I needed the rest I am feeling better. I have my spring headache, that will last a few weeks. Happens in western PA to about 80% i believe.
Needless to say I don't want to talk about running, I don't want to shop for running, its like playing catch with a chocolate bar when you are starving. Well, I still ended up at Lloyd's, I was in the neighborhood, I had a reason to go, and he was having a sale. Duh- I'll be there. He asked me "How are you feeling", not 'how's it going?' or 'how are you?' or 'how you doing?'. Weird. Maybe, or okay probably looked hung over, and I didn't comb my hair just twisted up in a mess knot/bird's nest wearing nasty sweats I had on in the yard with the kids. Usually if I am not in a great mood I still answer "good, how are you?" and I didn't. I said "well, I've been better, I'm injured" I go on and explain my very minor end of the world boo-boo and a funny thing happened. He said "Yeah I'm injured too, I fell at a race last week. I can't run right now either. " That really really REALLY made me feel better. I guess we all get hurt as runners and nurse our wounds, some worse than others, some no big deal, but we all have to rest, take a break and recoup. Maybe I'm not so weak after all. He even told me he doesn't want to rest either.

CAKE, Going the Distance.
