I declared today a "me day". This morning after all the duties had been done to get everybody out the door, I turned to my husband and said OUTLOUD that I was going to make today about myself. Self care, they say, is essential. I'll buy that for a dollar. So, I put a little more creamer in my coffee, spent a little more time indulging in my iPad games and social media, and stayed in pajamas. I run 3-4 miles about 4 times a week and I was going back and forth about going out today, but I was inspired by a recent conversation I had about AvaLanche. AvaLanche, is my treasured Roller Derby identity. Long since retired, but still in love with the sport, and truth be told you never really leave. So I decided to skate my run today. After all, it's a "me day" and skating is FUN! Best. Decision. Ever. Mind you, I was rusty and played it safe by sticking around my nicely paved neighborhood. Definitely reminded me that skating is a lot of work and I loved it! Oh yea, that's why I was in the best shape of my life in derby. Anyways, super sweaty and tired muscles and I feel like me again.
If you have been feeling like you're on a hamster wheel, I highly recommend a "me day". Maybe even just a "me morning". Try to remember things that make you tick that you don't get to do everyday and go do that. It's good. Mine isn't event halfway done and I already feel like I have shed the shroud of monotony. So dramatic, I know. Let the reminders lead you somewhere fun. It's worth it. Now, I'm gonna binge watch something on Netflix.
