Give me your energy!

It's only been 3 days since my last post but I feel like I'm majorly slacking with updating. 

I'm feeling exhausted today on so many levels. 

Today is my high dose prednisone day which typically means I feel gross and don't want to leave my bed. 

I've recently been trying to push myself with my laps and I think I may have gone a bit overboard yesterday between laps and arm cardio. 

That comes out to be 836 feet. 

So there's 5280 feet in a mile. 

1/4 mile would be 1320 feet. 

Gotta add approximately 12 more laps to achieve that goal. Mind you I take a lot of resting breaks but I'm still building up my stamina and my muscles! 

But when I reach 1320 (35 laps will be 1330) I will have a bit of a celebration for myself. It's good to have goals right? 

Before we left the house earlier Andrew checked the mail and office for packages. It was like Christmas morning over here! 

My amazon package came 

A surprise package from my MT full of fun goodies to make me smile 

New shirts from Debs

A surprise package from Ashley and Dennis for some coney dogs! Yum! 

Prescription package 

I don't think I've ever received that many packages at once. Definitely made me smile :)

Today I went in for blood work. 

A complete blood panel as well as liver enzymes. I am really hoping the enzymes have returned to a normal level. Since that alone has kinda been stressing me out. 

The girl at the counter told Andrew he was so helpful then asked if he was my husband or boyfriend. Which is kinda rude to even ask. But I felt myself kinda panic because I wasn't sure what to say, he replied "we're best friends". 

It was nice and while I'm still bummed out that we couldn't make things work, being best friends is still pretty good. 

While waiting in line for blood draw someone passed out in there. Whenever this type of stuff happens I find myself being so nosey and wanting all the details! They kept asking if he wanted to go to the ER. But sadly I have no idea what really happened. 

The girl was able to get my vein on the first try today. I wasn't so sure at first since she was feeling around for quite a few minutes. She even apologized for the tiny pinch. And now we just wait and see what the results are. 

After we decided to grab some lunch. We wanted wahoos which I wasn't sure if any existed in the area anymore and found one over by Andrew's work. 

I ordered the usual 2 Cajun chicken taco plate.

While the tacos still taste as good as I remember them the salsa wasn't quite the same. I hate when you remember something a certain way and then you kinda expect it to taste that way and when it doesn't you are disappointed.

Came back to the house after and was feeling pretty rough. My legs are tired from yesterday and then doing the bottom 6 stairs I was exhausted, I was like half laying on the next flight of stairs. Rollins was looking at me very disapproving like I had lost my mind (ok maybe I did for a minute) and he promptly let me know they were his stairs.

I probably would have stayed in that position longer if I didn't have to pee so bad. Which meant I had to make it up the next 8 steps pronto! 

Hung out downstairs for awhile after emptying my bladder. 

Opened all my packages and listened to some music with Andrew. 

I decided I better head back upstairs before I got any more tired than I already was. 16 stairs on your bum is a workout, I feel like I was sweating an entire hour after I made it back up! (Thank you prednisone) 

I finally kicked off my crocs and saw that my feet and ankles were swollen. 

I changed into some pajamas and opened the window since I was dying over here. 

Andrew got me a pillow to put my feet up and now I'm just waiting for the sweating to stop so I can try on my new shirts.

I wore my new dino shirt today and realized that regular tshirt collars kind of bother me. I feel like I'm suffocating when I wear them. Usually I would just cut it out and make it more of an off the shoulder shirt but I feel weird doing that since u literally just bought the shirt! 

Anyhow I'm hoping tomorrow is a better day leg wise and that I can possibly crank out 24 laps? Gotta get into beast mode! (Don't hashtag beastmode it sparks the porn bots on Instagram).

It's kinda crazy looking back in my planner cuz there was days when I could only do 2 laps! Hoping my legs are just tired today and that tomorrow they will feel stronger than ever! 

One day at a time ;) 

Hope you all are having a good weekend!
