Happy Tuesday, friends! I had a long weekend due to Martin Luther King Jr day, so today is my first day at work this week, and it’s been a bit of a slow start. Let’s delay the inevitable a few moments longer with a look back at my long weekend.
Friday
Friday evening I went to my first-ever actual Crossfit class, and it went great! I’ll go more in depth on Wednesday, but for now I’ll say, I’m planning to stick with it for a while! After CF, I had a three hour dance rehearsal for 9 to 5. Thankfully, my endorphins were running hot after a great workout, so I felt amazing and awake all evening. I went straight home after rehearsal, had a beer with Ben and my in-laws, and went to bed.
Saturday
Saturday was a great, lazy day, because I knew I also had Monday to give me some extra time for all my usual weekend chores. I spent the morning tidying up our room a bit, and then spent most of the afternoon playing Fallout 3. #cantstopwontstop. In the evening, we got spiffed up for a party in town, but first, we stopped by Grammy’s room at Sterling House to drop off a belated Christmas present and chat for a few minutes.
The annual January Thaw party hosted by my friends Freda and Michael was a blast. Lots of my favorite people, way too much food, and a few too many servings of vodka for me made for a very good time. Ben was my gallant DD, who also forced me to chug water and take an Advil before I went to bed.
Sunday
Sunday started off a bit rough for me. I drank a bunch of water and took some more ibuprofen, which started to even things out a bit, but then my father in law made a magnificent feast of steak, eggs, and fried potatoes and I was well on my way to recovery.
On the way in for rehearsal, I bought a large coffee, some Polar seltzer, and some beef jerky, and that was the final piece of the hangover cure; after that I felt totally fine, and had a great time dancing my butt off at rehearsal.
Monday
I was SUPER productive on Monday. After breakfast I did laundry, loaded my new musical soundtracks from Christmas into my iTunes library, meal prepped all my lunches and dinners for the week, and cleaned the bathroom. After lunch, I decided I was done with productivity and played Fallout 3 for about an hour and a half, and then it was time to get myself together for CrossFit and rehearsal.
After a quick wash, some clean clothes, and gathering up all my stuff, I headed into town for my second CF class, which was just as good as my first, and left me full of energy. Rehearsal was a quick one; I was in and out in an hour, which meant that I got to come home, have an actual dinner, finish this blog post, and read before bed. Woot!
I’m realizing that I really should start taking more picture to accompany these posts, otherwise it’s just a whole lotta words. I’m just not very good about thinking in the moment “Oh, hey, I should take a picture for the blog!” And half the time when I DO think of it, I’m too embarrassed to whip out my phone to take a picture “for my blog.” Ah well. I’ll figure it out.
Did you have a long weekend? What did you do with your “extra” day?
Sounds like a super fun week/weekend! Hospitals don’t close for holidays so sadly I was here at work! have a great week!
Thank you for doing what you do to help others! I’m sure it’s frustrating sometimes to not get all the days off that everyone does, but we all appreciate it ❤
Thanks, Rae! ❤
No long weekend for me! Yay for loving Crossfit!
Aw, bummer you didn’t get the day. I know I’m super lucky my job is tied to the markets, so if the markets are closed, I don’t work.
Sounds like a great weekend! And husband and FIL for the hangover win!
I took still don’t like taking photo’s of myself during a run or even after if it’s out in the open. I figure people must think I’m crazy.
Yeah, I don’t know, I just don’t want to be “that girl” who’s taking pictures at weird times.
Monday was oddly productive for me too, it was kind of weird! Today made up for it, took a vacation day and was pretty lazy. 🙂 Glad you are still liking Cross Fit!
Well, Saturday was my lazy day instead, so it was a trade-off. But glad you had a nice vacation day!
