Last night I went to bed far later than I should have. I was catching up on a show that a friend told me about and even though it was not knock-your-socks-off good, it was silly and light-hearted, which happened to be just the mindless television that I needed. I fell asleep reading a Nora Roberts book on my Kindle- and at some point during the night- I turned it off and tucked it under the pillow it was resting on. Marcel had the night shift- which meant I was home alone and no snoring to wake me.
This morning when I awakened, I had a pounding headache- and I also noticed my eyes were watery and blurry. Welcome to Spring- I’ve been noticing an excess of pollen and it appears from the nausea and headache that I’ve had most of the day- that it has found my nose and sinus cavities. I consider it the price of having beautiful weather and the gorgeous flowers that Spring gives us, although I do recall grumbling this morning when I woke up with that pounding feeling in my head.
Over the course of today- I’ve been busy and the headache has waxed and waned. It’s also left me feeling exhausted, which may actually mean an early bedtime for me tonight- That remains to be seen.
Starting next week- I’m going to start getting up an hour earlier each day. I’d like to make it even earlier- but I’ll try a little at a time until I get there. I want to start training for a 5k- and I know that in order to do so- I need to schedule some work out time- and not make it hit and miss the way it has been. I know I can do it- and I plan to run my first 5k this year. It’s been on my ‘list’ for a few years now and it’s time to make it happen.
