Sick Day
29 May 2013
I guess it was inevitable. All that running around in the cold. All that very little sleep. All that marvelous cramming of an entire semester’s worth of fun into one weekend. I came home in the warm effervescent glow that only an Oberlin reunion can bring, full of energy for getting back to work and catching up on a few things I’d fallen behind on. And then I realized I was sick. Like really miserable stay-in-bed-all-day sick. Ugh. It is officially my least favorite souvenir. On the bright side, I’ve got enough chamomile tea to last until 3013, the world’s comfiest bed to rest in, and a husband who buys me lemons and brown rice, so I can make the world’s spiciest get-better soup. In the meantime, if I owe you an email or a comment or a phone call, I’m so sorry. I hope I will be getting back to you very soon! Until then, I raise my mug to you and thank you for your sweet comments, emails, and friendship.

Kisses and hugs! Feel better soon. Then tell me about that soup!

Getting there! My throat stopped hurting, and I can occasionally breathe through my nose. Progress! Next up: hacking, wheezing coughing, I am sure. Will call you tomorrow so you can hear my crackly voice!

Thank you! I feel very blessed to be able to rest and wait it out–it’s a gift that I don’t have to be anywhere this week!

Here’s hoping the tea and soup work their magic in a hurry. And here’s a hug to go along with it, all from a safe distance. q;>)

Oh, no! I was sick all weekend, too 🙁 How do you manage such adorable posts, though, even on your sick bed?! 😉 Get well, & listen to good music! xoxo

You sweet girl! Ha, I wouldn’t consider that post stellar at all, but thank you! I am sorry you were sick too–are you feeling better? I sure hope so! XOXO See you soon in Pasadena (I mean, when we both are not contagious!) 🙂

Ugh, so not fun! Glad you’re on the mend, though:) Looking forward to seeing you sometime soon!

So sorry you are sick. Get plenty of rest so you can get to feeling better.

Thank you! It’s no fun, but at least I have books to read and shows to watch!
