If I had planned the weekend out right, I would have completed my housework on Friday. I returned home to find the same clutter, dirty clothes, and dishes awaiting me. Having done such a hard workout, my legs ached. It was a bit surprising because 11 miles is not an exceptionally long distance for me. None-the-less, my legs were feeling it. Perhaps an ice bath would have been more therapeutic, but my hot shower felt so good after today’s a run. I just sat there and let the hot water run down my back and hoped that the mess would be gone by the time I got out. It knew that it wouldn’t. Instead, I had two neighbor kids over for a play date. I started slow. I wiped the counters down, loaded the dishwasher and started it, and put a load into the washing machine. Then I ate something. I was felling a bit light headed. Afterwards, I swept and vacuumed the house. It is now time to cook dinner and finish up the weekend’s homework. The bathrooms can wait until another day, but the house is back into reasonable shape and ready for the abuse of another week.
