keeping moving

I went home shortly after noon yesterday. I drank tea and soup. I sat under a blanket and colored. I waited for my fever to peak and break. I disappointed both kids when I couldn't read to them because my voice and throat hurt too much. I slept for about 11 hours straight.

Today is better than yesterday. I'm able to sit up and mostly eat, drink, and talk without pain. Mostly. I still have a terrible cough, so I might tell Emi that I'll be watching her holiday concert online from our house instead of giving these germs to half the town. If I watch from home, then I can also get Alex in bed on time. Everyone wins!

The dentist this morning pronounced my teeth and gums to be in fine shape. They also took a picture of the roof of my mouth and throat to have a record of all the little red dots, indicating that I probably have a cold, sore throat, and cough. My hygenist didn't scold me for not flossing, but she did mention that it's apparent that I'm drinking more coffee and tea. Oh well.

I'm feeling really scattered today. Some of it is still being sick. Some of it is seasonal anxiety. Some of it is that there's far too much to do and I have very little drive to get it all done. I want to be at home with some tea, a coloring book, a fuzzy blanket, and my kids. And my sewing machine.

...have to put up the xmas tree this week. And wrap things. And package things to be mailed. And and and and and and and ARGH
