Sometimes you just need a day like that. N and I woke up around noon (fever free!), and I changed into fresh pjs roughly 6 hours later. He's stayed pretty much near "normal" all day, so I feel like I can say we're on the tail end of this whatever it was.
I can't call it the flu...but it was something special.
We were just lazy today, the way sick/recovery days should be. Movies, a few snacks (his appetite still isn't up to par) and a lot of lounging. I told him he needs to get up and move around, but he claims his legs don't want to work. They better get moving...otherwise it's going to be really hard to climb the stairs to his classroom on Monday morning.
Barring any disaster or relapse, he WILL be at school on Monday morning, although I'm not so sure about basketball practice. That might be a bit much. I'm almost sad that I missed the "pep talk" after the game today. Almost...but not quite.
Now, I'm curling up with a cup of peppermint tea and a Doris Day movie..."Pillow Talk" if you must know. It's a classic. Doris Day was quite the classy broad.
So, I've been doing this squat challenge for the past couple of weeks or so and I'm roughly halfway through it. I wanted to try it because a) I'm always up for a challenge, b) the super-hot Fireman climb is a couple of weeks away (I added the "super-hot" to that because...well, yeah), and c) I haven't worked out steadily in months.
Maybe it's not the best choice while my back is still recovering, but I was already 10 days into it when I made a poor choice. To start over would be totally counter-productive. Besides...my thighs like it when I do squats.
I called my mom tonight and told her how I could see and feel changed, and it made her more optimistic, too. I've forwarded it to several of my friends, and B does them with me when he's at home. If anyone wants it, just let me know. I'll just say, if I end up with a rear end like the "after" picture on this challenge, I will squat every single day for the rest of my life.
True Story.
