Tough Thursday

It seems to be a week of being a lazy parent. First we missed out on B’s school learning showcase day. Today we forgot to send Ingrid to daycare with some vegetables, they were making soup for Matariki.

Went to work feeling tired and a numbing headache. Last night, Ingrid and I both coughed a lot. It’s the winter bugs. We are fine during the day, but can’t stop coughing at night. Ingrid keeps saying she is not sick, so she can go to Norway. Poor little one.

My headache gives me brain fog. Good thing is at work we have a wellness room, where I can relax for a bit. It helps to just go in a dimmed lighted room closing my eyes and sit there for a while. It smooths out the headache a bit. I am curious what causing me having these headaches every month, I think it is hormone level related.

I was proud of myself to be at Pilates class this evening. This teacher had the best playlist , I pushed hard, chose all the hard level options. Felt much better after my body moved a bit. When I came home I told B that if you ever have a hard day, best thing to do is to move your body. Hope she remembers what I told her, coz one day she will need exercise to help her get through some long days.

Went for a walk during lunch time, had delicious lunch. When I sit in front of something I really enjoy to eat, I tell myself this is the reason to work. So I can appreciate meals like this to treat myself and enjoy the reward of working.

Hope the weekend is going to be a good one, after this week ends, then we are 3 weeks till the trip begins.
