The calm before the storm

I had a very quiet weekend this weekend. In fact, I only left the house twice. Once for dinner on Saturday and once to go to the store on Sunday.

Steve ended up getting very sick on Saturday during dinner. He said he was feeling weird, like he couldn't even lift his fork to eat. When we got home, he ran to the bathroom. He was in such a hurry he hit his head on the door frame! When he finally came out, he had a huge knot and was sweating like crazy. I checked his tempurature and put him to bed. He had a fever of 100.4 and it lasted until 2pm on Sunday. I was getting kinda worried that it wouldn't break so I was glad when it did. He stayed home from work yesterday and is starting to feel much better.

I am not as excited about Christmas this year as I normally am. I think it is because we are not doing what we normally do for Christmas, well, what I normally do. Normally, I take 2 weeks off and pretty much spend that entire time in the Valley with my folks, this year I will only get to see them this weekend. The worst thing about getting married is sharing the holidays. Or at least that has been the worst for me. I have never been very good at sharing.

I hope everyone has a great Christmas! And Happy Hanukkah Steph!!

Sick, sick, sick

Sorry I have been MIA for a few days. I got sick last week and haven't been up to doing much of anything. I can't stop coughing and my nose is super stuffy. It sucks. It started on Thursday which was ok because the weekend was coming and I knew I could sleep it off, or at least I thought I could. My coughs are so violent they keep me up and if I am able to fall alseep, they wake me up. Like I said, it sucks.

Steve and I didn't do much this weekend thanks to my cold. We finished putting up the lights on the house and took some pictures of the dogs for our Christmas card.





This was my favorite picture of them but it isn't the picture that we used on the card. It didn't fit the space in the card that we liked. I sent them out on Tuesday so they should be arriving soon!

Sunday night my computer crashed. I took it to IT on Monday, went to our employee health clinic for some prescrition drugs, and then went home. The doctor gave me some cough medicine with codine so I thought I would be able to sleep forever - wrong again. It doesn't work any better than the over the counter stuff. :(

I have been playing catch up at work every since. As nice as a day off is, sometimes it just isn't worth it!
