Five Five!

1. Hey guys, Miss my face? 🙂 I’m still alive! I honestly don’t know how people OD on prescription drugs! I had to have Hydrocodone and when that wouldn’t take away my pain, they gave me Percocet. I felt nauseous, seasick, tired and kind of foggy on those drugs. The Percocet was way worse. But! The pain is gone and I’m currently only on Tylenol and my antibiotic. I spent most of Wednesday and Thursday on the couch, “resting my eyes.”
2. I don’t like feeling foggy and out of it. I like feeling in control and on top of my game. I like feeling clear and awake and energized. I’ve not felt that way for the past few days. That’s the drugs talking. They get rid of the pain, but at a cost. My arms and legs and even chest felt funny. So did my ears! So freakin’ weird.
3. I’m off from Corky and The station this weekend! Hooray! Yesterday was my brother’s 35th Birthday and so tonight is a family dinner. I miss my 3 nephews. I haven’t seen them in nearly 2 months. That’s waaaayyy too long.
4. The 2nd picture is the photo collage I made for Facebook for his birthday yesterday. He and his wife ran the Lincoln Half last year. They’re doing it again this year with me. I’m so proud of my family!
5. I don’t think I’m taking in enough calories. I don’t know exactly how many I’m doing, but seeing as I’ve gained a few pounds, and I’m eating healthy AND running 20+ miles a week, I think THAT’S the problem. Advice?
6. Bonus one: I’ve only run 2 miles this week. This tooth infection has made me so tired. I could have ran this morning, but I needed sleep. And I’ve slept a lot the past few days. Clearly, being sick and fighting infection takes a lot out of a person. 

Happy Friday Friends!
