Timing

Arg. Our timing seems to be off when it comes to connecting on the phone. Good thing we have our blog...when we use it! ;-)

Before I get all Susie's Sick Again on you let me say Happy Valentines's Day! I hope J or one of your boys (maybe both, so all of them?) does something nice for you today and makes you feel special and loved.

Here in my world I am feeling loved but celebrating alone. Not that I'm celebrating Valentine's Day as much as I am just feeling better. Well, maybe I am celebrating a little of both. Making American chop suey for dinner was a bit of a nod to myself and being able to comfort myself.

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I had a rare-for-me respiratory thing and I guess I wasn't 100% before W came down and the stress just left me running a little on empty. I suppose I stayed that way all the next week too. And then Sunday, after I hung up the phone with D I got this wave of nausea and fatigue, and decided to take a nap (which I think is when you called). Two hours later I woke up and hurled. I hurled out both ends for the rest of the day. I think my last episode was at 9:30....I didn't feel like I could stay home on Monday (yesterday) so I went in. I figured since I wasn't puking my guts out anymore I'd be okay. But I really wasn't. As the day went on I got more sore and cold and tired, and I couldn't wait to get home and nap. I left a little early and did just that. Then went to bed early.

This morning I was like new. Seriously. Night and day...which makes me realize I should have just stayed out yesterday. And leaves me wondering if I had actually been sick for a couple of weeks...just going through the motions.

But the moral of the story is I'm on the mend...belly full of comfort food, sorry I missed a chance to catch up on Sunday.

I hope all is well in your world.
Love you!
