Some days are easier than others. Some days are better than others. Some days you wake up and think, “Whyyyyyyy?!”
Today was some days.
I don’t know if I picked up something on our trip or I’m just a bit run down but my limbs were heavy, my sinuses felt stuffy and my motivation was a bit low.
But, as with everything, life goes on. Daddy Daftie needed to get to work, Wee Daftie had to get to school so I needed to get out of bed.
I don’t like being ill at the best of times but I really don’t enjoy it now I’m a parent. I find it hard to switch off and really rest as there is always something to do. However, these past few months I have become very aware that I really do need to stop and take time to heal occasionally. Even though I’m not great at it. I am definitely trying and I am learning.
So I did a lot less than I planned today. I took Wee Daftie to school, I ate some breakfast, I meal prepped some bits for the week, I finished knitting a llama…and that was it.
And I do feel better. Sort of.
Wee Daftie and I took our walk before dinner today. The day was a little grey but not cold and actually pretty optimum for a wander.
We took the road down past these statues, towards Lower Granton Road and then back. Not the most exciting or creative of our walks but it did me some good, it helped us hit our step count and we had a lot of fun making up stories as we went.
Wee Daftie has a long day of school and drama ahead of her tomorrow and I am meant to be running but I need to see how my lungs, aches and pains are faring! Fingers crossed an early night with some decent rest will serve me well.
Another day done, not as big or long or fast but every step counts so I am proud of our efforts. Just over a week to go!
