Just like that Spring Break is Over

Spring break came and went and I am still at home…

Last week was our Spring Break and I spent it at home with my little family. The first half of the week I feel into a depressive state and couldn’t really bring myself to do anything but cry on the couch. By Wednesday afternoon I was able to pull myself out of it just enough to be able to go out to lunch with my kiddo, my partner and his friend followed by dinner and a movie with my partner’s sister. That was probably the first day where I felt most like myself. The following days were quiet but we were able to accomplish a few things we had put off for a while. We assembled our Starmork gaming table. It’s one of the those tabletop gaming tables where the top is removable and has an interior space where you can play games or complete puzzles. We rearranged our entire living room and it’s looking quite nice. We also hit up the Costco Business center because we like to bulk buy our meats and freezer items and restock on pantry staples like rice and beans. We also came across a chest freezer and went back for it the next day so we could reorganize all our freezer items. It’s been one of our best purchases to date. We can finally see what foods we have, frozen foods I’ve meal prepped in my souper cubes, and organize all our bulk meats. We usually buy the 10 pound ground beef roll, some sort of meat to cut up into steaks, and this time we also got a box of chicken leg quarters. We’re set for a few months.

Now on to why I am still despite work starting up again yesterday. Somewhere between lunch, dinner, the movies, and our Costco run, I got the flu. When we went back to get our freezer I don’t know how I was standing up because I was so weak. I ended up staying in bed all day Sunday and stayed home again yesterday. Then to make matters worse I fell and rolled my left ankle. So today I stayed home, still dealing with this flu, and now nursing a sore ankle. Add in my hyper mobility issues and let’s just say, my limbs are all a mess. I had a doctor’s appointment today and was given a note to extend the days off. I know most people would be excited to stay home an extra few days but I don’t like missing work especially when I have so much to do because now I’m falling behind on projects plus creating sub plans is the worst.
