Viruses and Mothering

Well, I have a virus. Not sure yet what it is, but I was feeling pretty good yesterday, woke up with a sore throat on one side (it’s always the same side), and an earache, and dizzy. Spent the first half of the day in bed, sleeping mostly. The rest of the day on the sofa, except for a couple hours at my mother’s.

Need I say that it annoyed me to be unable to do anything around the house today?

And it’s not getting better… though I have stayed awake since mid-afternoon, it seems to be getting worse. Even acetaminophen isn’t taking care of it.

Hoping I will be better tomorrow — need to work on those costumes for the kids!

On the other hand, it rained. A lot!  And so the plants, the animals, and the people are much happier.  There have, however, been some bad accidents on the roads.  Remember, the first really good rains after a dry spell make the roads as slippery as ice when you try to stop.  Slow down, leave good following distance, and watch the other drivers.
