A new routine

Prior to a couple of months ago, my typical Saturday started with a weekly "friendly" tennis match at 9am (7:30 in the summer to avoid the heat), then I ran about a million errands, showered mid day, and ran another million errands. I might do some work, pay bills and maybe go out to dinner with friends. I ran non stop on Saturday from about 8:30 till 11pm easily.

Napping has never been anything I did at all - ever. I am such a lousy sleeper, I would not dare nap and ruin sleeping that night. If I even stopped to watch TV, I had 10 other things going at the same.

My weekend routine has changed dramatically. My niece Landon, 13, spent the night with us Friday night, and it was great having her here. We slept late, fixed breakfast, and then I drove her to the Mariott Marquis for a cheerleading competition, (I did not even get out of the car), spent 15 minutes in Publix and pretty much napped most of the afternoon. Today, I had breakfast, a shower, and then a hour nap before watching a movie. I am blown away by how tired I get so quickly. I have gone from one extreme to the other. I am hoping I will remember how to relax when this is all over, but this is way too sedentary for me. Starting tomorrow, I am going to try to go to the gym during lunch and walk on a tread mill for at least 15 minutes. When you need a nap after a shower and breakfast, some thing needs to change!

Other than being tired, I am feeling ok. Still planning on getting out some for work next week.

A few more hair strands are appearing in my shower, so it may be time to buzz cut it tomorrow. Tuesday lunch is the wig appmt so it may be just in time.
