Well, I certainly drew the winning card this week. Sickity sick sick sick, and Morgan left for Michigan this morning. Either one of those occurrences would be just fine on their own, but watching Lola for 4 days by myself while sick, well, it's sort of like having to take care of two people, her and sick me. We're about 4 hours into our little solo adventure, and so far all is well. Morgan's on a layover Denver for about 15 more minutes. (Update moments later: OK, now it's getting to be more work...3 diaper changes already, and this stuffy head just makes everything so exhausting.) To be fair, I do have a good support system in place, with several friends and family at my beck and call to help out.
As for sick me, hmm, let's see, I think it started last weekend or so, mostly cold-like, cough, stuffy nose, etc. But yesterday, the fatigue and aches hit me mid-day and I left work early. By late afternoon, all I could do was lay on the couch, shiver, and take my temperature (101 if you're interested) and eventually I just skipped dinner (and we were having Vietnamese, dangit!) and went to bed at 6. I'm actually much better today than at that pinnacle of illness, but there's a broad range between better and well.
Like Morgan said, we got the new camera. Hopefully I can get some of those new pics up this weekend and list the old camera on ebay. Actually, I'm really hoping this creeping crud subsides soon...I've got a three day weekend that I don't wish to spend nursing myself back to health. I've got to go shopping, buy a turkey fryer, and hopefully devour the new Michael Connelly book.
So I suppose that's it for now. Hoping this finds you well and fine. Marc
