Aug. 14: My husband is so sweet. Thanks to him, this post is coming to you live from JavaCat. I’m playing with pictures from Jennifer’s wedding on my computer and sipping on a frappe. And unless my cell phone rings, I have no one needing me right now. It’s absolute bliss.
We’re all recovering from our adventures with virus. Andrew has a runny nose and a bit of a cough, but for the most part, he seems back to himself. Sylvie is crankier than normal and has an occasional really rattly cough. On Tuesday, we watched about five hours of PBS and movies. All I wanted to do was sleep and all Sylvia wanted to do was be held and bounced. Yesterday afternoon I showered and got dressed and felt much better. Joe came over in the evening and we hung out and watched the Olympics together. He had the same cold, so we could spend time with him without worrying about transmitting…that already happened last week!
Then today I attempted to take part in a conference call for Carleton’s Alumni Adventures. It didn’t go well. We went to lunch with Gathering Waters to celebrate Joe’s last day there. And I was adventurous and took the kids to Woodman’s to stock up on food. By 3pm, I was more than ready to crash. CRASH. But the kids were not. We limped through until 6 when Bryan came home. He walked in the door and said, “Get thee somewhere else!” I’m almost never not with Sylvia, and it’s pretty nice to spend an hour without her company:)
So that’s what’s happening in our world. Our illness is on the mend. I’m loving watching the Olympics. On Tuesday, Bryan brought me home sherbet, Dove bars, and a Glamor magazine. What a wonderful guy. It’s kind of fun to get pampered when a person isn’t feeling well. Or when a person is feeling well!
I took about 400 pictures at Jennifer’s wedding, so I’m going to return to my post-processing.
xoxo
