Fighting the bug on Friday

Dear James, Daniel and Emily,

Fighting some stomach bug today, started yesterday but got worse overnight, but I know the drill so fighting through it here at work.  Amazingly light weekend no plans at all beyond a Sunday hike with Dad.  Loads of house projects around the house though so shouldn't get bored. 

Health

No run today, or even walk.  I started feeling the beginnings of the stomach problem yesterday, but gutted it out (forgive the pun).  But it started feeling worse overnight, didn't sleep real well, so didn't feel that I would be able to make it for a run.  So I took advantage of some other things to just sleep an extra hour and a half.  But I know the drill for today, keep it light, mostly fluids for the day, and should be pretty much back to normal tomorrow (so can catch up on the run then).  This is a bug that just seems to catch me every 6 months or so, not as bad as it used to be due to the weight loss and improved diet. 

Family

No kids sports, no birthday parties, no barbecues, feels kind of odd to have such an empty weekend.  Of course the last time this happened we ended up tearing up the living room so look out.  I'm gonna cash in my rain check for Dad on Sunday and take a hike with him & James, but otherwise just gonna be homebodies this weekend.  Keep it relaxed and free of plans (and free of spending).

Projects

Of course no shortage of things to do around the house.  Hopefully we can get the baseboards in and be done with the living room project.  And of course there's plenty of mowing and weeding due to the onset of August Monsoon season.  Which is good, because the worst part of these light weekends is I can get bored and either eat, or start something I can't finish, gotta keep it one step at a time.
