Checking In

String of farmed mussels that must have gotten loose from its tether
Life has been very busy and tiring this week.  I am still getting adjusted to my new work schedule and have been facing a small health issue at the same time leaving me bloody well exhausted each night then insomnia (part of my disease of fibromyalgia) kicks in leaving me tired in the morning.  So not much blogging has been done.



Fortunately hubby has been pulling up the slack and cooked an awesome two day beef enchilada casserole to take some of the pressure off me to cook.  He is such a good husband.

Anyhow, I am not here to complain - just letting you know that tomorrow night is our Beginner Sea Kayak Lesson of which we are both looking forward to and just a little fearful at the same time.  The weather looks lovely so we shall make the best of it. Wish me luck!

    1. I forgot about feeling tired once we got on the water. It was a blast!

  2. Good luck with your Kayak lesson. I would be terrified. You're very brave. And a hubby that cooks is the greatest thing ever in my book. Insomnia though, is the pits. I have an irregular sleep cycle which is not exactly insomnia but it has me up at 2 or 3am everyday and it's extremely difficult for me to stay up past 7pm.

    1. I recently guilted him as told him we was such a great cook but hasn't cooked much recently. He stepped up after that! My favorite dish he cooks is his BBQ ribs though.

    1. Thanks Lisa! Hubby has a watch that records calories burned (he only turned it on part way through) and he burned over 600 calories. Way more fun than the treadmill.

    1. There was a certain amount of security knowing if I went into the drink the instructor would come rescue me. But husband asked where the life insurance was before we left lol.

  7. Fibromyalgia is a tough disease - I hope you are more at ease soon. So nice to have a husband who helps out, you're lucky there!

    Have fun at the kayak lesson - I'd like to do that. :)

    1. It was fun! I loved the fact that I am not a strong person on the upper body and I relaxed and just cruised around. Those that are more muscular seemed to have a harder time as they were over paddling.

  8. Kayak lessons sound great! And, I can definitely relate to the laying in bed, not being able to sleep - have the same issues at night, despite being exhausted. Here's hoping you catch up on your rest!

    1. Yes, I am sure with Lupus you suffer far more than I do. Just having a bad stretch, hopefully it will get better in a few days.
