Just a short update today as I am going to be taking some down time with my wife to watch a movie and just chill out. Some well deserved rest!
Today was a difficult day in terms of fatigue. After running for over 2 hours at basketball last night, I only got about 5 hours sleep before I was up with Thomas for his morning routine. I think 7 hours would have been ideal for physical recovery time.
Because my wife Jessica and I are both home based entrepreneurs, we have been taking turns getting up with Thomas in the morning while the other one gets an extra hour or so of sleep. And today, Jess was overdue!
It was a back and forth day of working and playing with Thomas as Jessica was busy with some of her business stuff that was quite high priority. Now that Thomas is over 1.5 years old, he will play on his own for stretches of time and I usually try to get a little bit of work done while he's doing that.
By about 3pm, I was still feeling groggy and tired and I decided I really wanted to shift my energy. I focused on feeling alert and ready. I had an appointment with a local college where I will be teaching some extra credit courses and the meeting really helped me get my second wind. By the time I got home, the thought of going to the gym was actually energizing. I had a great shoulder and cardio workout! There were maybe 4 other people in the gym (Friday nights are not busy as you might guess) so it was really easy to focus and all of the machines I wanted were available!
The rest of the night was scheduled down time and we watched a movie called Stop-Loss. This is not a movie review blog so I won't go into detail. But I give the movie a 7.5/10
