I spoke too soon

 On Monday I got up early and took Kara to the dentist.  Then I went right to Group Power.  I kept my weight low because I haven't been since April.  It was tough especially all the ab workouts.  I went and picked strawberries.  Squats and lunges + picking strawberries afterwards = pain.  

Around 3 PM my gut started to hurt and it felt like I had spasms.  I felt feverish and lost my appetite.  I took an Immodium and two Tylenol and felt significantly better.  Almost back to normal.  Went to the pool and enjoyed being in the water.  I went home and ate pizza for dinner.  Then I felt awful.  I could not get my body off the couch and I felt nauseous and in pain.  I managed to sleep very well but I woke up feeling not great. It was like that most of the day.

I went to bed at 11 PM.  The batteries need to be changed in the smoke alarm and it was keeping me awake.  I didn't want to take the batteries out because of that episode of This Is Us where the whole house burns down because they didn't change the batteries.  Ugh why did I watch that episode.  I have a somewhat overexaggerated fear of house fires after our small house fire back in 1986. I tried sleeping in the family room with the door shut to muffle the beeping.  The cat really liked that idea and she wanted in...thus I couldn't really shut the door.  The beeping was still annoying.  Tried running a fan and that didn't muffle the sound much at all.

 I did take the batteries out.  We have smoke alarms in our room and Derek's room, the family room, and the upstairs.  We had to get that many to become a registered day care home back in 2016.  So if the house would have caught fire we would have been woken to beeping.  By the time I turned on lights, took out the battery, tried to find a new battery and was unsuccessful...all at 12:30 am.  My brain was pretty much awake and I was up for probably two extra hours.

I realized my body has been through havoc since we came home from Mexico.  That time of the month with bad cramping, bacterial infection or parasite of some sort, itchy shoulders from sunburn and peeling everywhere (super gross), and bug bites all over my legs. And the intense ab workout on Monday did not do me any favors.  It was all worth it though.  Such a great vacation.  The gym is not going anywhere.  I'll be back there soon.
