Friday check-in

 I can't even remember if I blogged this morning. Sometimes I come up with blogposts in my head that never make it to the page.

Well today, I struggled through a few work tasks from bed. I was quite groggy and managed to lie around until 12:45p. Then got ready to go to PT. 

She worked my arm muscles a lot. I was happy to see that two weights exercises I'd started before were done this time around.

I am really out of shape!

I'm blaming the heat. But I have no stamina. So this will be good to start small.

I got a little overly ambitious with my plans to walk outside this weekend. But maybe I'll just sweat through these 3 walks and then remember it's July in The South.

Now that I see how weak my arms are... I do want to build up my stamina.

I went to Trader Joe's today and I guess everyone is out early for the upcoming holiday weekend because it was very busy. Luckily, I found a close parking spot without looking and I didn't have to pay or get validated. Phew.

It was very busy and there were two near misses in the intersection. Luckily, not involving me, but it made me want to get off the road as soon as possible.

So I made the executive decision to go to the local grocery store near Interim Apartment and just suck it up for the higher prices. No bargain hunting while I'm here. Just want to keep my self safe and carefree.

I went ahead and got the Pepcid. I was already thinking of starting with the low dose even though the doctor recommended the higher dose. I figure, I'd rather just start small. But the smaller dose box was $10 and the higher dose was $7.49. Go figure! So it made me almost want to get the higher dose.

Actually, I took the pill over an hour ago, and I still feel a little burn. Yikes. 

I did drink a full glass of water which made me almost snort water through my nose. 

Yeah, that's definitely some burning.

I'm not even going to play around with this.

If I'm coughing or uncomfortable tonight, then tomorrow when I go out, I'm going to pick up the higher dose. I also need to go to Moneygram.

If it were not blazing hot, I would walk there now.

I want to be outside. I feel really good, but it is really hot. And I have a few bites up my leg. There was a swarm of insects last night when I went out.

For the walk tomorrow, the organizer already sent out a heat warning email. So I was hesitant to go, but I think I'll still go. I'm looking forward to taking a hot shower. And I'm going to wear sunscreen.

I'm glad I went ahead and organized my big suitcase when I moved in because it makes it really easy to pick out clothes. I was going to wear pants and a t-shirt. But with all this heat advisory talk, I might do a tanktop and shorts. 

I got some yummy snacks for the weekend including a sparkling strawberry juice that I'm excited to try. 

I mostly want to take a nap.
