This was not a terrible terrible week but it was not a good week either.  The second week of each month is busier than than the others because of extra scheduled commitments and I could really tell this time.  It's that darn sleep that interferes with scheduling every time!  How can a person get everything done that they want to do if you have to sleep??!   And with the headaches, sneezing, and general blah feelings - I think I'm getting sick which contributes to the "I don't feel lIke doing anything" attitude.  Since the first of the year it's been a sinus infection, double ear infection, kidney infection and anemia.  Minor issues in the grand scheme of illnesses but enough to make a person drag.  And I've definitely been dragging.  For me, exercise is the key that helps everything fall into place, and I just haven't gotten into a decent routine yet.  Wah, wah wah, - enough with the whining already.   I did make it a "rule" that I have to walk some laps around the Madison Senior Center before I go home and that has worked out pretty well.  The first week was three, then five, now seven and next will be ten.  If I add the driveway into a lap, it's about 400 steps per lap so ten laps will be about two miles.  There's a neat walking path around the pond at the back of the Senior Center with exercise stations at different spots and that will be a good addition (once the snow melts!).  Walking/jogging with a winter coat stinks but it has to be done.    I'm going with the prediction of the groundhog that says that we'll have an early spring.  Fingers crossed!
