December 18

Wow yesterday was quite the day.  It started off with a deep and fantastic sleep.  I had taught from 10 am - 6 pm Sunday, then Marc, Juliet and Elizabeth were sick so I did reflexology on Elizabeth and Marc.  Poor Marc I was non-stop yawning during his session.  We brought the air purifier into our bedroom as that was the infirmary room during the day.  Wow did I ever sleep probably one of the best sleeps I have ever had, I think I only flipped once, the sheets barely moved.  I decided not to workout out in the morning so my alarm was turned off. 

I got up and did my measurements.  My weight was 188 lbs, I stepped on the scale again and was down to 186, I stepped on it two more times and 188 again so I am sticking with that.  I was down 1.75" - 1/2" across my shoulders, 1/4" off my waist, another 1/4" off my hips, 1/2" from my thighs, and 1/4" off my calves.

I got ready for Aquafit and both kids announced they were too sick to go to school, then my client called saying she was in early labour with baby number four, oh and did I mention Marc was going to be out for the evening.  So I made some calls, found coverage for my 10 am and 7:45 pm Aqua class and rescheduled an interview, made my weekly outline and grocery list, reported the kids absent, hopped in the shower, had some breakfast, booked a reflexology appointment, ran out to pick up groceries, our Christmas cards, birth story albums and a few other things, deposited some cheques, made it home, unpacked the groceries, unloaded the dishwasher and got the call to head to the birth around 10:20 am.  It was a fantastic, fast, easy birth, I was home by 4 pm.  Elizabeth was still on the computer, same place she was when I left, Juliet was asleep on the couch.  I had a 15 minute cat nap, Marc came home early, the kids were not interested in what I had planned for dinner so we convinced Marc to bring home a pre-roasted chicken meal.  We played a game, I did three loads of the family's laundry, but together a birth story, prepared for my two reflexology appointments, finally cleaned up my props from my childbirth ed class on Sunday as well as the house, updated my Birth Beginnings website, responded to some e-mails, prepared some mail, finished wrapping the presents, determined there are still, 5-6 things I still need to pick up, I think that was it.

Today I slept in until 6:30 am as I knew I was doing Sonny's fast workout which takes about 30 minutes and I wasn't in bed until 12:23 am.  The sleep was not as good, but I made due.  I had a hard time pacing my breathing during my workout and got a little wheezy during one exercise, so I took a short break to move some laundry and the wheeze settled quickly and did not resume once I did the same exercise on the other leg.  I have work to do for CRS today, a reflexology appointment at 10 am and another at 1 pm.  Juliet and I were going to go to yoga, but because she is sick I may give it a miss and get some work done instead.

Chat tomorrow.
