Monday, I got up early as planned and went to the gym before work. I barely squeaked out two miles on the treadmill before running out of steam. I did about half of my upper body strength workout as well, then called it quits. It was by no means a stellar workout, but it sure beats being sick and doing nothing.I had intended to give it another go this morning, thinking that I would try to get at least 2.5 miles in, then do the other half of my strength work. Then maybe I'd be doing full workouts by mid week.
However, I awoke to discover my right eye was goopy and stuck shut. What?!?!? You've got to be kidding me!!! And just moments after I asked Husband if he knew what time urgent care opened, Daughter came by complaining that something was wrong with her eye too. Lovely. Two cases of pink eye. So much for going to the gym...
Instead, we spent the morning at urgent care, were administered a prescription for antibiotic eye drops, and came home to disinfect the house (aka wash the sheets, pillow cases, towels, etc).Neither of us should be contagious tomorrow, so she'll be back at school and I'll try once again to get to the gym before work. Of course, I've had to reset expectations *again*.
I'm thinking there must be a lesson in patience or something in here for me. What do you think?
Ahhhh... Murphy is kicking in. Pink eye sux!
ReplyDeleteoh crap. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteIt must be going around...my niece just got over it. A warning from her experience...she rubbed her other eye and once her left eye was better her right eye got it!
ReplyDeleteTake Care of you and your daughter!
I'm sorry chica!! I TOTALLY felt your pain a couple weeks ago. Hopefully it will clear up ASAP!
ReplyDeleteBoo to germs!
ReplyDeleteGet well soon Lisa (and daughter)
That sucks.. Get some rest and I hope both of you feel better soon
ReplyDeleteunexpected set backs are a funk that can be tough to get out of but you'll get through. Pink eye is such a wierd thing. I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteStuff does usually come in waves..
ReplyDeleteHope you and the kiddo get better soon.
That sucks! Have you been hanging around Marcy and allowing her to rub her ickiness on you?
ReplyDeleteOh man! Sorry to hear that.
ReplyDeleteI still have a little pain in my ear and throat off and on since I was sick. My doctor said a lot of people are getting little relapses after they get over the flu this year. Pink eye probably isn't related to that though.
Hope it's getting better.
Pink eye is the worst too! Just so dang annoying! I hope you are back to top notch soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that there had better be a lesson there somewhere. You have been hit with so much lately. Get well soon!!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking you're right. It's like if it's not one thing,it's another w/in regards to our bodies.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, pink eye. That really gets around in the schools. Good thing you stayed home with her.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had pink eye since middle school... luckily. Especially since I work in a school and we see it all the time.
