This Sore Throat Ain't Goin' Anywhere...

Rats! This is the third day in a row that I've woken with a sore throat... and it's getting increasingly worse... I also noticed that I'm more tired than usual, which also happens when I'm getting sick. I just wanna keep sleeping in the morning. It probably doesn't help that I haven't been getting to bed at a reasonable hour, and didn't drink enough agua yesterday, but still, zzzz. I think that tonight I will make a valient effort to be IN my bed by 10pm. I know the hubs will want to watch a couple shows in bed, but that doesn't mean I can't get a head-start on bedtime. Gotta nip this cold in the bud.

Yesterday I went to TaeBo again, it was awesome as usual, just dripping sweat and sore this morning... but the instructor was not my favorite. She's the owner of the studio, so I was expecting it to be really intense and difficult, but not in the way that it was. I find with all the classes that they are really hard because it's so taxing on your body, but with hers it was also taxing on the brain and I couldn't keep up with her crazy combos toward the end... there were too many moves. I was like "hey, lady, we all have brain-melt, stick to 3 moves per combo, 7 is way too many"... I found myself just doing my best to keep shuffling side to side so I didn't get punched or kicked by the people around me!!! Ha! But alas, all that matters is that I keep moving, right? Burn baby burn. I really am loving this studio and these classes... they are really hard, but you feel so good at the end, that it's totally worth while. Plus, it's a fun environment! I think I really just needed something different to motivate me and this was the perfect solution! Tonight I'm going to try their class called "Old School" which is apparently a circuit class, so cardio and strength. I'll report back with how that goes later! Eventually I'm going to need to evaluate my schedule and start working some runs in, too, because I'd like to run a half marathon this Spring, and also the Bolder Boulder 10K on Memorial Day! But in the meantime, I'm going to just enjoy these classes and the change of pace.

The only other thing going on here in Dwardland (my husband calls me Dward) is that my manager mentioned an opportunity for my virtual cohort and I that I'm getting more and more interested in... it would require that we go IN to an actual Lockheed facility a few days a week, and it turns out, I think I need that. I think that if I could have the best of both worlds, I might actually be a lot more satisfied in my job. I love being able to work from home, but man, I think I'm getting a bit of cabin fever... I miss getting dressed up a bit and interacting with people and collaborating face-to-face. So I think if this opportunity comes to fruition, we'd work a few days at the Aurora Facility, and a few days from home per week! How fab would that be?! It'd make me appreciate working from home more, AND it'd get me out of the house a few days. Here's to hoping!

Have a Lovely Tuesday!
