Polly got croup and then Matt got pneumonia and then I got... Something. I don't know what you want to call it (maybe putrid throat... Poldark reference) but it felt like it could be croup and/or pneumonia and it knocked me down pretty good for a while. It's Sunday night and I've pretty much been in bed since Thursday night. OK, yesterday afternoon I got up for a few hours and then this afternoon I forced myself out of bed from about 2 pm to 7 pm. Oh and I showered yesterday. Hoping that tomorrow I'll be ready to face real life. And maybe even shower again.
In the meantime, I sure am grateful that since Friday afternoon, Matt has taken care of all the kids and the house and the grocery shopping and making dinner and church and anything else that might come up, so that I could stay in bed that whole time.
I'd like to say I've been sleeping, but in all honesty I have spent most of the time watching TV on my iPad. With a little bit of reading. OK and some napping. I rarely make time for TV shows (which I'm fine with) and also don't make much time for reading books (I'm not fine with that). Now I'm almost done with The Audacity of Hope (LOVING IT), and in between reading, I binged pretty much every random TV show or web show I came across that looked interesting. (Gilmore Girls reboot... Poldark... A Different World... Drunk History.) And some things that looked interesting but turned out to be super overrated. (e.g., This Is Us. sorry if you're a fan!) I think my brain might be ready for a rest from the screen time. I kinda feel myself turning into an iPad zombie of sorts.
Next up: Monday!
