Apparently, Sundays are for sleeping!

Yes, it's Monday night. Yesterday was all about sleep - sleeping late, napping, and then going to bed early and being completely unable to sleep at all. Oops! Which meant that today was also about sleep, and since I called in sick I took full advantage. Napped 'til nearly noon and then watched a string of movies on cable. Wholly indulgent. I also made some more progress on my Clapotis, which is now back to where it was when I frogged it in irritation last summer. I've been taking a small break from socks as I'll be teaching a three-week sock class starting next week, so lots of sock-knitting coming up.

And I should recap last week, but honestly it's kind of faded in my mind. I'll do my best. Last weekend when we put the garden in, I wrenched my back. Monday went to the doctor, who said, "What did you do to yourself?", put me on heavy-duty drugs and wrote a referral for massage therapy. Wednesday went for the massage which helped the low back immeasurably and also fixed a lot of my upper back/shoulder/neck issues (which are chronic - for work I either sit at a computer or in the car, and for recreation I either read or knit!). Have another appointment for that again on this Wednesday coming.

Saturday was faboo. We were up early to prep for the Hockey Night in the Trailer Park party at our place, did some cleaning and food-ing and yard (almost said YARN) work. Set up the firepit in the back yard and had a test-drive pit BBQ for lunch. Sat in the sunshine with a good book. All wonderful. Then people arrived - lots of people! Neighbours and friends (friendly neighbours) - lots of food and festivity and then the Game. Which, if you follow hockey, you know was Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, and you know Ottawa won. Seeing as how we live in Ottawa, this was a Good Thing. But, being up 'til after midnight is not something I do often anymore, which led to the sleeping-all-day Sunday. Closing the loop of this post, so to speak.

I think I'm turning into more of a balanced person. Normally I would be guilt-wracked for taking a sick day when really I'm just tired. Today, no guilt. No email-checking on the Blackberry. No worries. Everything will still be there tomorrow and I had a pretty darn good day of doing not so much. Tomorrow I will do much - really, because I can imagine what's landed on my desk and to-do list and I also have my Knitting 101 class tomorrow night with two new students! I'm very excited about that. And it's June, and my garden is growing and my hubby made me dinner. Life is Good. Now, go Sens Go!
