Wrinkly Face

So today the family had a bbq today, grandma included… our family gatherings tend to be different. This one went pretty well up until the point where I said I was going to run a 5K. Gramma hadn’t heard that yet and when she did she gave me the wrinkly face. That face tends to go along with disapproval, which was confusing.  Still not so sure why I got that face but oh well. I’m not doing this for her, or anyone else, just me. If that means I have to put up with a couple wrinkly faces, so be it. I have several people who are saying they’ll be there to cheer me on, even co-workers.

 

I heated my knee last night rather than icing it, that seemed to help more. They still aren’t up to par yet but are getting there. Yay! Bad news, my back has joined the cranky fest. My body is great at cranky it seems. Time to break the pattern I think. I did get a lock though so I can go use the pool at the Y, maybe I’ll start back up with Thursday night water aerobics. It’s actually Tuesday/Thursday but can only go on Tuesdays when there isn’t choir. Not that I’ve been awesome about going to choir lately. It almost seems that when I start one thing, something else kind of falls behind. My energy levels are getting better but aren’t steller yet. Several years back, I got mono.. I’m not sure how but that’s not important really. It drained me more than anything has. At some point I went from just a bout with mono to having a chronic case. Since then, I’ve had to be pretty picky about where I spend my energies. Sometimes, I over extend and get drained rather easily. That’s starting to change though, I’ve been able to do more for longer periods of time. I’m hoping that by continuing to eat organically and gluten free, as well as the added exercise, that time will lengthen and the energy will improve. Not too much to ask is it? I don’t think so.

 

That being said… bring on the wrinkly faces!
