Day 53: Picture perfect

It's inevitable that one day throughout this, I'd push too far and overexert myself. Monday was that day. I woke early, headed to the office to send my one or two needed emails and then did some Tabata! I felt good...until I got home. Apparently, I had promised the family (aka wifey) I'd help get the inside of the house homey, hanging pictures and such all day. This was one of those instances in which I truly believe the conversation never took place but never question as I'm never right in those fights. I wanted to be lazy, I did squats, cycle jumps iron crosses, hanging leg raises, bench knee highs, bench jumps and pushups. I was physically spent. But the two things I learned early in my marriage is that no one puts Baby in the corner and I really know nothing; I'm just a man.I could sum it up by saying "resistance is futile"

So instead of going quietly into storage and pulling out the pictures, neatly packed away 6 boxes deep in my mother in laws basement, I decided to be a huge jerk and show wifey what I had to move to get to the pictures out and to the house and the day was spent moving countless boxes we had procrastinated moving for months now. Hours were spent bringing crap to the house, placed in the living room (or Parlor if you live in RI) and no forethought of who would ultimately have to move the boxes out of said room. EPIC FAIL on my part.

Around 10 pm, and after several verbal attacks on each other, we called it a night. I wish I had noticed it at the time, but I had started to get a sore throat around that time and it has since gotten progressively worse and is now a full blown cold. Yup, I'm this guy today:






















Just throw a blanket over me and leave me be for the day. I'll be healthy again tomorrow.
