Productive Sunday???

Something is wrong when I am up and out the door ON MY OWN FREE WILL by 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning.

It may have been that 4 hour nap yesterday... yes, it probably was. In my defense, I am now officially 27 weeks prego and wasn't feeling so bueno in the hot and crowded R.E.I. store. When we made it back to home base, I immediately beelined for the couch and didn't surface again until four hours later. There is nothing like a half night's worth of sleep to make you feel better! The reason we ventured out to R.E.I. AND the reason it was such a zoo was their semi-annual sale. We arrived empty handed but came back with THIS:





The BOB Revolution jogging stroller. It is supposed to be the best, and the local running peeps must love it because it's all I see when I zoom creep around Town Lake these days. It carries a nice price tag, so when it's on sale, you have to scoop it up quickly!


Anyways, back to productivity...

Today, I have already:
-gone out for breakfast - short stack of pancakes? Yes, please. I guess a side of fruit too.
-done a load of laundry
-cleaned out some things in the garage
-made a Goodwill donation trip (while leaving the 'hood I saw not one but THREE BOB strollers - case in point.)
-worked 5 hours at the hospital

Now, I will get to my grading. This will be the first time all year that I have entered my grades online well before the deadline. I know it's only 24 hours before, but if you consider that I have always put them in no more than 30 minutes before (or sometimes even 30 minutes after) the deadline, I consider it a big difference.

What I would also consider a big difference is the way I feel now as opposed to just one month ago. My feet hurt by the end of the day if I've been on them a lot, and I can no longer take walks over 5 miles without feeling some pain. This past Friday night, R and I went for a walk to get some frozen yogurt. Round trip it is around 5 miles. The last 200 yards I was inching my way down the street and then once inside, I sprawled out on the living room floor where I fell asleep. I have decided my body can best handle 4 miles or less, especially with the hills in our neighborhood. I guess that means I'll have to start driving to get my frozen yogurt goodness. :)

Whew, I will have to admit that all of this productivity is making me quite tired.
