Day 183 - Tuesday, March 10

Where has the week gone? Sunday Dennis and I slept in because he was so sick and I still was not feeling up to par. We lazed around all day, except when I went to church. Yesterday I was feeling so much better and exercised, went to work, visited grandma, cleaned my house (from weekend neglect), made dinner, visited with Amanda and her family (while Steve worked on our spare bedroom), and studied (with Amanda) more on our online "Family Herbalist" course. Dennis got home at 6:25 and we had to leave at 6:45 for the BYU Spring Scene (all the BYU wards in his stake do a 10 minute play). I put dinner in at 5:00 but the sweet potato was still hard and the chicken was not cooked all the way through, so we ate the zucchini and onions with a glass of orange juice (freshly squeezed that morning) and ran to BYU. We thought we would eat when we got home, but we didn't get home until 10:30 and we were both too tired, so we just went to bed. As the evening wore on I started feeling more and more miserable, and this morning I just couldn't drag myself out of bed until 8:00. I have managed to make my bed, make a simple breakfast and study my scriptures and read some email. I am now ready for another long nap.

No exercising today as I don't have the energy.

Breakfast:
Blueberries and granola in yogurt
Red Raspberry leaf tea

Lunch:
Chicken soup
8 Whole wheat crackers
1 orange
I sat around all afternoon watching Tivo. Several home improvement shows and a movie I recorded a year ago called "The Aviator". I really hate being sick!!!

Dinner:
Peanut butter and honey sandwich on wheat bread
1 apple

Snack:
Spaghetti w/ wheat noodles
carrot and celery sticks
1 slice whole wheat bread

When I sleep in until 8:00am my eating schedule gets all off. So I was hungry at 5:00 and made myself the sandwich knowing Dennis wouldn't be home until 7:00. Amanda and the kids came up with Steve while he finished the trim in the spare bedroom and she made spaghetti for everyone. I didn't feel like eating then. Finally at 8:00 when Dennis finally ate, I sat down and ate with him. I sure hope I am feeling better tomorrow as this is not fun at all.
