Day 30 - This Sucks

Yesterday I just wasn't in the mood. For anything. Couldn't be bothered exercising, breathing or eating. Could my hungover really still be lurking around from Friday night? Does being healthier mean that your hungover lasts forever? Maybe if I became an Olympian and got drunk, that would be it for the rest of my life? Eternal hungover? That sounds worse than being dead.

Anyway, I got up and shuffled round Princes Park and could only bring myself to do one lap. It was a nice sunny morning but I felt like raindrops were falling on my head.

After the run, I got ready and went with my best friend to see a movie for my book club, called Summer Coda. But it's a movie, I hear you say. Well most of the time we read books, but occasionally we break it up with a movie. We got to the Nova which is pretty much the only place still showing it and shit, fuck, damn, I got the time wrong. It wasn't on at 11.30am, it started at 11am. Oops.

Feeling like a big doofus, I suggested we go have lunch instead. Which was kinda cool anyway cos we went to a cafe that I have been dying to try called New Day Rising. The coffee was awesome, not too strong and bitter (which most long macs I have been drinking lately are) and my friend had homemade baked beans with rocket, avocado and feta on some delicious grainy toast. I looked at her lunch with envy cos I already had a boring sandwich with me. But I'm gonna go back and try the beans cos they are pretty healthy and fall into more diet friendly food groups.

After lunch we called into chez sister and did a spot of baby minding while she had a 4 hour kip! Grreeeedy. She should be able to cope with a half an hour here or there right? ;) The midwife came and weighed the twins and I'm pleased to report they have both put on over 300 grams and are thriving! So my sis can now stretch the feeds out from every 3 hours to every 4 hours. This will hopefully give her a bit more time to rest.

After dinner I went to meditation. I hadn't been in weeks and it was great. I really released some built up tension and it was great to still my mind for a while :)
