I am feeling better than when I arrived in Chicago just over a week ago, but still no where near normal. I've had the pleasure of visiting with a few friends, but I still spend most of my time at home on the couch in front of a television or a computer. Or napping.
This Monday I'd had enough. Enough! I woke-up at a normal time, put on normal clothes, and ran around town completing a few tasks I'd had on my "Once I return to the U.S." list.
- I bought new gym shoes
- Purchased a new tooth brush
- Washed my car (She'll need a few more scrubbings to remove all the bugs we splattered during our road trip.)
- Toured the gym a few minutes from home. I'd been exercising regularly while in Vancouver and it's something I insist on continuing in Chicago.
- Utilized a gift card and enjoyed a free lunch at Chipolte.
Upon returning home I felt happy and productive. And then I felt exhausted and slept for over two hours.
I get to see a few more friends this week, but have learned that those moments will be the highlight of my day - not only in enjoyment, but in energy expenditure. I've also realized that time on the computer job searching and updating my resume has the same affect. So my recovery and return to Chicago continues... slowly.
