Lately. . .

Sorry if it's been a bit quiet around this part of the blogosphere, I've had a cold since Monday morning and every time I think I'm starting to feel better one of my nostrils decides to either stuff up completely or run like a leaky faucet. Not fun. Originally I tried to power through and did a full workout on Monday but decided to call off the workout because just running errands was making me feel run down. 

I also had to go get a full physical done so I can join the volunteer fire department in my area (as an EMT. I will not be fighting fires yo!) Now, when they requested that I get a physical I thought: blood work, listen to my chest, medical history and maybe some vaccinations. Oh no. I got drug tested, an eye examination, a lung capacity test, an EKG, blood work and chest x-rays. All of that along with the usual doctor appointment stuff. Also, I had all of this done after having two cups of coffee and feeling like shit. The nurse was like "your pulse is a little high unless you're running a marathon right now." I was in a terrible mood and was like "Hey, I had two cups of coffee, no food and didn't expect to get put through a ringer here. I feel terrible. So sue me." She did concede that the cold + coffee  could easily be the reason I had a fast pulse. The whole time I was being poked and prodded all I wanted was to put my pj's on and curl up. Which is what I did once I got home. Dr. J and I ran a few errands on Tuesday but nothing major thanks to feeling like crapola on my part. 

So, outside of errands for necessary things like appointments, food and paying rent there hasn't been much going on over here. Just juicing (in an attempt to ward this cold off earlier with Vitamin C) and snuggling with this cutie. (Who is very spoiled, btw). 

I'm hoping to be back on track next week and have some interesting and constructive topics to discuss!
