I must say, my camera roll from last week is kind of puny. I think because I was kind of puny all week. I worked remotely all of the days and got a TON done, but I barely left the couch any day, expect to check all of my exercise boxes because I am nothing if not a rule follower. The thought of driving downtown, parking in my garage, walking to my office— it was very overwhelming. By the end of each day, I was exhausted and fell into bed, and, even though my cough persisted, I FINALLY started to feel ok by Saturday morning. YUCK. BUT THEN! I went to hockey on Saturday afternoon. Our local ice rink is in a bit of financial pickle since it is owned privately (surrounding rinks are city-owned-- at least partially-- and have plenty of funds for upkeep and expansion) and needs some serious work. Right now, to keep the ice cold, they are using a chiller outside in a semi-truck because the rink chiller is broken, and they can't have ANY HEAT in the building. It's SO COLD. Anyway, after the game, I couldn't get warm at all, had chills, and developed muscle aches. I felt almost as yucky as I did last week and went to bed at like 8:30.
Everyone else in my house (except Harry who also feels intermittently awful and makes me think it's a virus and not some sort of terminal thing that I only I have that has just revealed itself) bounced ALL THE WAY BACK within 24 hours. Again, YUCK.
I am so glad Minnie is not in daycare or preschool because I am sure our illness exposure would be worse, and I am not sure I could handle worse. She is all signed up to start 3K in the fall (!!!!) 3 mornings a week, so I am sure I will be complaining plenty about cold and flu season in like 8 short months. GET EXCITED, FRIENDS.
Your snow mound is great! You should be proud.
ReplyDeleteUgh. I am so sorry it has been such a long haul for you, Sarah. What a horrible bug. I am hoping you feel back to 100% so very soon <3
Thank you— miss your blog posts this week!
DeleteSorry about the sick week, but who CARES if your camera roll is puny if you have tiny adorable CHILDREN in it? I miss the nap cheeks! My daughter's university town got snow finally so they build a snowman and then the boys from across the street wrecked it and had to be roundly chastised.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the student houses by campus with snowmen in the yards— so cute and helps me remember that students are kids.
DeleteOh geez, that sounds like too much sickness! But Minnie is quite the cutie pie, so that's a day brightener for sure.
ReplyDeleteShe’s a delight, even when she’s hacking into my open mouth.
DeleteSorry about the lingering ick and aches, Sarah. I hope that dimpled, dancing toddler energy helps though. <3
ReplyDeleteThat is a bummer that you didn't have the strong bounce back. That virus sounded nasty. I have managed to avoid things like that and overall, our kids haven't been too sick this year. We had a rough stretch in the fall, though. I am sure you are looking down the barrel at quite a few viruses as Minnie builds her immune system, though. That is definitely the downside to communal care, although everyone tells me my kids will barely be sick when they go to school. I've already seen that with Paul as he is very rarely sick. But oof, the first 2-2.5 years can be brutal!
