Recovery Day
I feel exhausted and tired and out of it and I shouldn’t. I’ve gotten in to the habit of taking a day off (recovery day) after returning from our trips to Iowa. This gives me a day to sleep in (theoretically) and catch up on chores and relax. We got home at midnight Sunday. I had my recovery day yesterday. Why am I still tired?
Maybe I partied too hard at the wedding?
Maybe it’s because I spent a large chunk of yesterday afternoon in bed with a headache?
Maybe one day just isn’t enough?
Whatever it is, I feel like I may be quiet (here) this week, but we’ll see. Whenever I say that, I never am. I do hope to catch up on emails and reading blogs, so as always, be prepared for all of my comments on “old” posts.
(Also, I don’t want to go in to many details, but we found out a family member has cancer a few weeks ago and they are having surgery this morning. The first time I saw the family member after the diagnosis was at the wedding and they looked awful and it broke my heart. I’m feeling a bit quiet and sad about that. And hopeful that everything goes well this morning.)

yay, you picked the purple dress! It looks great on you 🙂
I’m sorry to hear about your family member. They are in my prayers.
Thanks. 🙂 And thanks! The surgery went well, now he is just recovering!
Yea sometimes the stress and the craziness of all the excitement and the running around catches up with you. You look amazing in that dress!
And i sm sending good thoughts to you and your family as they are dealing with cancer.
Aww, thanks about both 🙂
🙁 sorry about your family member – I hope the surgery goes well…
thanks for running with me yesterday, even though you weren’t feeling it. I hope you’re feeling better soon, and the “bla” passes quickly. take some quiet time if you need it 🙂
The surgery did go well, thanks! Now he is just in intensive care for a few days.
And you’re welcome. It was a treat to run with you!
That dress looks amazing on you!
Stay quiet and get your enegery back. I’m thinking of you!
Thanks!
(Apparently I have a hard time staying quiet. I knew this would happen. I need you to come smack me and tell me to relax!!!)
I’m more of a shin kicker than a smacker hahahahaha.
Sorry to hear about your sick family member…I hope the surgery goes well.
You look amazing in your purple dress! take care of yourself, you deserve it!
Thanks. The surgery did go well and now he is on the mend.
Thanks. And that is something I struggle with big time – taking care of myself. Meh. I should write a post on that.
I’m sorry about your family member… I hope all is well. News like that can be very draining, so I’m not really surprised that you feel tired!!
Love the dress, BTW; it looks great on you. 🙂
<3 <3
Thanks! The surgery did go well, so I feel better knowing that.
And thank you!
Sometimes it just takes a while to get back into the swing of things. Especially after a high energy weekend like you had. Lots of ups and downs and now it’s back to regular life? Blech. It’s perfectly understandable to still be tired.
I think I will be happy to get to regular life with its more steady flow… soon 🙂
I’ll keep you and your family in my thoughts today! Even if this relative looked ill, I imagine that it was uplifting to spend the weekend before surgery at your brother’s wedding. It must have been fun and distracting (in a good way) to spend time with family and friends, celebrating the marriage!
Traveling ALWAYS takes a lot out of me. I think it just does that. Maybe more than one rest day is needed.
Thanks. And thanks for being upbeat! This person did specifically put off the surgery so they could come to the wedding, so I bet that did make him feel better. And the surgery went well! Now he is just recovering in intensive care.
You look like you’re having fun though!
Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and heart.
Thanks sizzle 🙂
I absolutely love this picture of you! You look so happy and that color is great on you!! Sounds like you had a blasty at the wedding!
I’m glad the surgery went well and I hope your relative has a smooth recovery. A cancer diagnosis is such a hard blow to take. We have had several in our family (both sides) in recent years and it is hard. Hoping it goes well.
I am glad the surgery went well. I will think good thoughts for all of you. Cancer is no fun at all!
