Today my friend from work, M, and her baby, J came to visit! We learned just how much "stuff" on the coffee table is too much too interesting (he's 7-8 months old and pulling himself up to the table and reaching for things, among other activities).
We hung out and laughed with J for much of the afternoon, and Mark came up with his camera for me to take some VERY cute photos. It was just in time, because when J woke up from his nap, the sun was shining in our western-facing windows and it was very cute.
Well...I had a couple days off and then worked 8 hrs yesterday with my yuck sore throat...waking up this morning was really no fun. My voice sounds REALLY funny.
It's strange, I forgot how miserable it is to be sick it's been so long since I've even had a cold. But here I am. I've been using my neti pot and my head and throat feel better, but...ooh boy, it's moved down to me chest.
I called in today, and spent the majority of the day on the couch continuing my ginger tea, water water water, some Boston Legal, some reading of The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, as well as nursing journal articles...and an afternoon nap. Only one more 8 hr shift before my weekend off and trips with Mark to my mom's and dad's for christmas celebrations.
