catching up

I was still sick last night. My throat felt like it was on fire and my whole body felt like I'd been beaten. Rodrigo has been great. I hadn't had anyone take care of me when I was sick for a long time. It feels good and honestly makes me feel a little spoiled. I still feel a bit achy but I had to take Brianna to school, so I decided to get up and clean up around here. It's amazing how much housework piles up when you don't do it for a couple of days. Anyway, I started doing that, but I'm feeling super weak. I'm just sitting here now and decided to catch up on the blogs I read and look over the memes I play. Again, I'll try to write more later if I feel up to it.
