Days 5 – 9

December 24th – 28th

Look at me. I have already (somewhat) lost count of the days. It is kind of hard to believe it has already been nine days since Bill left to go back over there. I think doing a weekly wrap-up instead of a daily breakdown is going to be better for this blog. I mean the good thing about this blog is it is my blog, and I have the freedom to adjust it however I want.

There hasn’t been anything super significant that has happened over the last several days. I have been working really hard at getting into a groove with a routine that makes the time easier on me. I didn’t do anything for Christmas. I had intentions to watch my favorite Christmas movie, Love Actually, but I wasn’t ever really in the mood for it. That made me a little bit sad because I watch it every year and have for probably ten years. I still have time to watch it before the holiday season is over and I think I might watch it this weekend. It is such a great movie.

I am working on getting back into running, and today was day 3 of this program I started. I have done this program before and seen good results, so I am hopeful I will experience the same this time. I am very impatient though and want immediate results. I want to, RIGHT NOW, be able to run like I did 18 – 24 months ago. That isn’t realistic, so I am trying my best to just accept where I am and work towards where I want to be. What else can I do! I have also been doing the Peloton at least every other day, and next week I am starting a strength training program. Working out is the one thing that really makes me feel good & makes the time go by faster.

I miss Bill, obviously. There are times where I get really, really sad and lonely but those times don’t last long. Staying active and busy is so important.
