So Tired

Saw my naturopath today and was telling her how tired I am lately. I'm having trouble getting out of bed in the morning and needing to nap in the afternoon. Pregnancy is definitely out, so I asked her what on earth was wrong with me. After asking some other questions, she came to the conclusion that my adrenal gland is in overdrive. Stress apparently can be a cause of this. She also says that after six years of disrupted sleep, things in your body can get thrown off (shocker eh?). So she's got me on some supplements now to try to help this problem and to boost my immune system before my trip to Colombia. Things are only going to get busier and more stressful between now and that point.

Speaking of rest though, I was thrilled to call and find out that our favourite room at the Bear Trail was available the weekend we want it in January so I booked it. I love having this to look forward to. A time where Joel and I can really connect and spend some good quality time together. I know I'll be thinking of it when I'm in Colombia missing him and the kids so much. It's really going to be a great winter, I'm so excited.

Oh yeah, and it looks like I wouldn't have even gotten directions to the bathroom yesterday because I got the Spanish phrase wrong, it's Donde esta el bano? Not "what" is the bathroom, but "where" :) Oops.

Buenas Noches (Good night),
