Today I slept in until around 12pm today even though I had planned on getting up much earlier. I had a bit of a difficult time getting to sleep last night and I'm not sure why. When I finally did get to sleep I had a lot of weird dreams, which kept me from having a very solid sleep. My Mother was already up when I got downstairs and I made myself a cup of coffee. For breakfast I had a single cup of cottage cheese. I spent most of the morning on the internet catching up with emails which I had been meaning to pay attention to all weekend. I also wrote my blog from this weekend and, obviously, spent time talking with my Mother. After I had my second cup of coffee I decided to gather my laundry up and put a load in the washing machine.
Even though I was still feeling very sick I thought it would be a good idea to get a light workout in. I only did my arm workout and a "saddlebag eraser" workout which my twin sister had sent me the previous week. After I was done those workouts I took a shower and I really wasn't feeling well at all, at that point. I felt very warm as if I had a fever, so I took a few ibuprofens. I still had a lot I wanted to get done so I balanced my checkbook and paid my bills while I cooled down. Then, for some reason, I got a spark of energy to go through some old receipts and shred them. This process took forever because my paper shredder sucks and it clogs the first chance it gets. I was still trying to get through a huge mess of receipts when my second to oldest sister arrived. I feel a little guilty because I immediately put her to work! She helped me unclog the paper shredder and I was finally able to shred the rest of the box of receipts. Some of them dated back to early 2010, because I used to be really obsessive about keep every single receipt:)
For dinner we ordered from my favorite local eatery and got a Caesar salad, a pizza, and a turkey club sandwich. My second to oldest sister picked up the food with me and the pizza wasn't done when we got there, so we had a beer and chatted. I feel so lucky getting to spend the last two days with her! My second to oldest sister and I have a lot in common so it's always so great getting to spend time with her. She definitely has helped me over the last several years with some of my insecurity problems as well as my obsessiveness and that means a lot to me. I only hope that I've been as supportive of her as she has been of me over the past several years. After dinner my Mother, sister and I all shared a bottle of wine and chatted. It was so nice having my Mother and sister with me tonight and it definitely cheered me up a lot. Even though I didn't work today I had the Monday blues for most of the day so this evening was a great pick-me-upper.
In between my workout and my shower today I managed to clean the bathroom floor, which I've been meaning to do for a while. I didn't wash my hands that much and I think having my Mother around had something to do with it. She's always encouraging me to not over wash them, which drives me crazy, but in the long run I guess it's a good thing. My second to oldest sister has to leave early in the morning tomorrow for work but my twin sister will be coming before noon. We're going to discuss the design of the wedding invitations and I'm look forward to that! It seems like it's been a while since I've seen her. Alright, I'm going to go to bed.
