Well, that cold lasted longer than it should have.  Just when the flu symptoms let up it moved into my chest and I had a nagging, hacking cough for about 3 weeks.

With my wife back to work and our daughter still waking in the middle of the night for a bottle, fatigue has been setting in.  My wife and I alternate nights with feeding, but both of us end up waking up when the other gets up. I really haven't felt like working out this past month and a half.  I just get home, make supper for the family, clean up, and want to veg.

Weight is still the same - 208lbs.

I'm going to the PT on Monday to have my shoulder tended to.  I think it's an impingement, but I'll leave that determination to the pro.  My right knee has also been giving me grief for the last week.  It's not always there, but seems to come up when going down stairs (going up is fine) or any time that I allow my knee to cave.  Oddly it was the worst when I tried skipping a rock or two at camp.  I think this new problem has come up from a serious lack of activity and the way that I get up from my chair at work.  We've started the process of moving offices and I was building a file rack in a storage unit for the past two days and my knee has actually gotten better.  I'm going to ask the PT what exercises I can safely do and which I should stay away from.  Hopefully he's positive towards weightlifting.

I need to get away from the couch and TV and back on the iron.
