Bad weather

I've missed the gym for the last two mornings because of bad weather yesterday and uncertainty this morning. In retrospect, I probably could have gone this a.m. but then I was also fighting the call out of work or not dilemma. Our offices were closed Tuesday at 3 p.m. because of the freezing rain/ice so that folks could get home safely. I was home by 3:45, changed into sweats and climbed into bed to watch TV for a bit. I was feeling a bit sniffly and fell asleep about 5 p.m. Yesterday a.m. my hip was rebelling at being in bed for 11 hours and kicked me out of bed about 4 a.m. I was still feeling sniffly and sore throaty so I was hoping that we would be closed due to the storm. Instead, we were on two hour delay so I went back to bed for a bit, but then got up and made it to the office a little after 9. We were scheduled to open to the public at 10 and at 9:55 we got the word that we were closed after all. I was not a really happy camper!!!! My power had gone off at home about 8 a.m. as I was leaving the house and I wasn't looking forward to going home to a cold dark house. I drove around until I found a shopping center that was open and entertained myself at Kohls and Old Navy for a couple of hours, grabbed a Chai at Starbucks and headed home. Mr Mo and I spent a cozy evening in the family room with a candle and a cheery fire. About the time we were commited to sleeping in front of the fire, the power came back about 9:30 p.m. so I relocated to my bed!!! This morning I was still sniffly and thinking that I wasn't sure how the roads were going to be to go out to the gym at 4:45 so I took another day off. Tomorrow I must get back on track because we are taking off for the weekend and I won't be getting back to the gym until Tuesday a.m. My nose is still playing the let's be stuffy let's run like a faucet game with me, but other than that I don't feel so bad. Once I know that I have staff to run things I can always go home if need be! Hugs, Mo

That is O.K to take a day or 2 off from the gym, just don't go as long as I did before getting back to the exercise. I started walking again, yesterday. My legs can tell, but it has not caught up to the mind yet. Take care of those sniffles that they don't turn into something worse. Marilyn, the Bearlady
