Snot = Productivity

Sitting here coughing, sniffing and sneezing, oddly the people at my door today has lessened considerably. Apparently being contagious is good for my productivity. As I sit here taking a break to eat some lunch (whole wheat pasta with meat sauce – so semi-clean living) I can’t help but notice how much time I’ve had to get things done today!

I should be sick more often, it has two benefits: weight loss and increased productivity! Yes there are the aches, pains, jammed packed sinuses, headache, crankiness, snot, whining, lovely breathe right strips and general lethargy but hey, no plan is perfect!

Mr. Finnegan is slowly recovering from pneumonia, the poor little guy sounded like he’d been smoking three packs a day for a good thirty years every time he coughed, which is hard since he’s not even two yet! (And I’m pretty sure he’s not allowed to smoke). Although now that his energy is slowly returning, mommy and daddy’s energy is slowly draining from chasing the little bugger around!

He’s at the “let’s touch everything!” stage, which is super fun; he leaves little piles of destruction in his wake. His current favourites are to fill the cats water bowl with dry cat food and watch it expand or filling the overflow tray on the water cooler and splashing in it. Another is pulling all the board games down and pulling out the pieces and giggling when Daddy gets all excited about it.

On a positive note in the day in the life of me is that I got a new laptop last night!! Scott and his best friend Tony went out to Future Shop and returned with it, so now I can write to my heart’s content! I know, you’re thinking, crap she’s gonna write more? You betcha, all the better to torture my friends and family with!

The diet, goes, no new progress, the whole exercising thing has kind of died with the surgery and the whole “I can’t breathe” cold thing. I better start soon because I signed up to walk in the Sun Run for work so either I start exercising now or working on my Obituary for May 9th!

Anyhoo, this is another day in the life of, I know, I know, my life is super exciting, what can I say.

  1. Well I'm glad Finnegan's on the mend and keeping you on your toes.... just keep telling yourself that you don't have time to be sick.
