I had a good time yesterday – we had a bit of a company party, in which we had pie because the company exists for 65 years this month… and then we went bowling. Hilarity ensued of course. I still suck at bowling, but my second run was at least halfway decent (71 points) instead of truly abysmal (52 points in the first run). My colleague N dropped me off at home since she lives in the neighbourhood, so that saved me a traintrip.
I was home at 9.30pm or something, so I grabbed a drink and my Cutie Pie and went to bed for some chatting and surfing… I couldn’t even stay awake until Olli came back from his jam session. Totally beat again — am I turning into a wussy now that I live in Nuttyville?
Thursday was the same story, but at least I had the excuse of fitness for the first time in a month. I was dreading going back to fitness a bit because I feared that my condition would have turned for the worse and I would be back at square one again. Turns out it didn’t! Some of the weights were even too light for me, and my heartrate remained nicely below 150 despite the fact that I spent 30 minutes on the crosstrainer instead of just fifteen minutes. I was very pleased about that. The only thing that was hard of my was my crunches/stomach muscle exercises. I’m still reaping the rewards on that one (ouch!). But it’s worth it.
And obviously the whole paint experience here in the castle has been a bit of a workout as well, otherwise I would have been in much worse shape. 
Today Olli and I went to Ikea to buy some prettifying yet practical items for the house, and that completely wiped us both out as well. It’s just so exhausting to go shopping! Too much stuff, too warm an environment, people everywhere… I always walk out frazzled, thirsty and wanting to kick people. But at least we got some good loot: a drawer for the hallway and a pretty mirror
