Time for some rest

I had a good and productive day yesterday. We finally got Colin back in daycare after he was out for a few days with a slight fever and I was able to focus at work in the office most of the day. After work, I took an interval running class and got a great workout in to burn off some steam. I was riding a high all evening.

Of course, as I was preparing to get to bed I started to feel a bunch of aches and cold all of a sudden. Within 15 minutes, I was under my covers with multiple layers on freezing and my head was throbbing. It wasn’t a fun night and I’m perplexed as to what exactly happened. My body was clearly fighting off something, but I had never had something that sudden before.

On top of all that, I feel generally okay this morning with some minor aches and fatigue. The usual symptoms of a scratchy throat or cough aren’t present and I tested negative for covid. I’m not sure if I’m still fighting off what Colin had or if I may have picked up something ele, but I suspect that my body is also just run down and my nervous system is reacting as such.

I suppose it’s yet another reminder for me to rest more. I am now 35 and with Colin, I’ve been running on fumes for the last 9 months. Powering through is probably just going to make things worst for me in the long run and I need to make sure to take care of myself.
