Time to Think, Get Well & Row

After writing the blog post a week ago on working and burnout, I took time offline to think about what comes next in my life and focus on getting well. As, I am almost a month out from my flu/pneumonia, I’m coughing less and feel like my lungs are getting stronger. In fact, I’ve taken up rowing and have been to the gym three times to use the row machine while my daughter is in class.

My daughter has a class on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I go with her and then I drive to the gym and workout. Having that as a routine saves her from having to pay parking fees. She uses my car so it is pretty economical for her.

Normally, I drive from her university to across town and work out at the Gold’s Gym. But, I’m thinking to swallow some pride and start going to Planet Fitness on Tuesdays and Thursdays because it is closer to campus and I will have more time to exercise.

I worked at Planet Fitness so I still have a membership there. I’m a little bit more out-of-shape than I was when I worked there so I feel kind of anxious about going back, but it is a good gym, and I like working out there. It would be the smartest choice on days when my daughter has class.

Rowing is very good for asthma and lung issues so I feel good that I’ve started doing it as a new habit. It is also low impact and helps with some issues I am having. I might write more about that later, but it is a sensitive topic so I’m unsure if I want to share that here.

Depression & PTSD

For a few days, I did have some depression. And my PTSD kind of fed into that depression, but thankfully, I’ve had a lot of therapy and learned a lot of skills to help with recovery.

Blog’s New Look

I’m not sure why, but with every theme I tried, my headings are HUGE. After spending an hour trying to find a theme that isn’t a disaster, I decided to just let the large headings be for now. I’ll catch up to making the site look better. I don’t really feel like putting more work in on it today. I might just leave it and change future posts until I get the hang of the new theme.

While writing this blog, I thought about how much I hated the theme I was using so I took a break from writing to update the site’s appearance. It’s crazy how fast time can fly by when you are trying out new themes.

Anyway, I think this will conclude today’s post. I feel tired and I hope to personalise this theme as I think I like it much better than the others I have tried so far.

Thanks for reading, and I wish you a happy and healthy day.
