On the Mend

I finally seem to be over my bug. I started feeling a lot better Friday. Yesterday I got outdoors and went for an hour-long walk along the Dyke and through a nature park next to the Dyke. I felt fine during the walk, but felt a bit tired and really hungry afterwards. I found a quick rest and bite to eat really perked me up again.

Last night we went out to dinner for a friend's surprise birthday. Just before we left, we were offered free tickets to the Canucks game. If the Canucks had even been mediocre it would have been a very, very difficult decision on whether or not to bail out on the dinner; but they downright suck right now.

Don't get me wrong, if we didn't have set plans last night we would have taken them in a heartbeat - but to bail on a friend's birthday for sub-par hockey - well, you just don't do that.

I was planning to go to dance class today, since I have missed the last two Thursdays in a row. But I am scared to over do it, as I often do as I am just recovering from a cold or sickness. A low-impact walk is one thing, 90 minutes of hard, aerobic activity is something entirely different. I've decided I will ease back into things: a walk yesterday, and Curves tomorrow. Hopefully. It will all depend how I feel after a full day back at work. I could feel fine and re-energized, or I could be dead.

I use the latter term loosely.
