A day off today, and as a bit of a novelty, one in which I actually got to sleep in. My son blessedly slept until 5:15am this morning, giving me a great chance to stay in bed.
The extra sleep is probably a good thing since I woke up with the start of a sore throat this morning. The kids have been a bit sniffly for the last couple of days and so it is possibly not that surprising that I am not feeling 100%. I tried hard to avoid it but it looks like I haven't been successful. Time will tell whether it is just a sore throat or something more. Other than the throat I am still feeling okay, so I am hopeful of avoiding anything worse. In the mean time I have implemented all my usual measures of trying to minimise the effects of the cold (if that is what it is). Upped my asthma medication and a few other things to try and stop it getting into my chest. I am not particularly snotty or anything, which I am hoping is a good sign.
In other news, I had a massage today. I was always intending to have one after Mandurah, but being in Darwin made it a little difficult so I took care of it today. A little after the fact, but I still have plenty of stiffness and soreness to take care of, so hopefully this will help. A little while ago I mentioned I was hoping to make massage a regular thing and that is still my intention. The place I went (Subiaco Sports Massage) had a good reputation and now I can see why. I can claim some of the visit on private cover as well, which is icing on the cake. I will see how I pull up in the next couple of days, but I might look at getting one last massage this time next week heading into Phuket.
Being a rest day there isn't a whole lot more to report. The plan for the rest of the day is try and get as much sleep as possible today and hopefully wake up in the morning feeling improved.
