Fortunately I\u2019m doing better now \ud83d\ude03**<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">What a week it\u2019s been!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I just have to almost laugh when I think of the last 7-8 days. See what you think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Last weekend we went out of town and our hotel room was infested with ANTS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">On Monday on the way to work, I heard a loud pop, like a plastic bottle popping in the heat. I didn\u2019t have any plastic bottle in my car so I looked at the windshield and saw a big ding with a few cracks right in the middle! A rock or something hit my windshield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">On the way home from work Monday, I got pulled over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Two hours into sleeping Monday night I woke up in horrible pain on my right back\/side. I made it through work Tuesday and went to an urgent care where I was diagnosed with a kidney infection. By Friday morning I was not feeling much better so I spent Friday going to another office, getting bloodwork, and a new prescription. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In the past these kinds of things would really have unraveled me and now they affect me, but to a much lesser degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Yes, it sucks I pretty much lost this whole week. Have gotten only one workout in on Monday and I think like 2 walks but honestly I have felt so bad I didn\u2019t care. (And that\u2019s how I know I am sick and need to rest too!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">But again, I am not as upset that my plan for the week was horribly foiled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Also, I am seeing the positives in these not-so-positive situations: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><li>I handled the ant hotel well. I was upset but we still enjoyed a nice dinner, found somewhere else \u2013 ant-free \u2013 to stay and the weekend worked out even better than we originally planned.<\/li><li>While my windshield got dinged and cracked, our insurance covered it at 100%<\/li><li>I was pulled over but didn\u2019t get a ticket. I also realized maybe it was a warning to slow me down so I don\u2019t get into a future accident.<\/li><li>This kidney infection has sucked big time but I believe it was a sign for me to slow down and rest.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/images.jpg?resize=225%2C225&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/images.jpg?w=225&ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/images.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It really is neat to see the work I\u2019ve been doing is working! Maybe that\u2019s also why these challenges are happening \u2013 to show me that sometimes on the outside it doesn\u2019t seem like much is changing but on the inside a lot has.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>**edit: This blog was originally written Saturday, March 12th\u2026there will be a follow-up soon as this is just getting posted due to being sick 3+ weeks!
