Whatever Andrea and Val have, I thought I'd avoided it. Until last
night, when all of a sudden I started feeling like crap. I was so cold,
I used every blanket I could find, but still sooo cold. By morning, I'd
sweated some of it out but still, I felt like crap.

I had a meeting this morning, part of my new job. I didn't want to miss
it so I drove in, weaving a bit on the road and thinking 'hrm, I'm kind
of an idiot for doing this.'

So I went to my meeting and for what might be the second time ever, I
went home early. Val and Andrea were home sick, too, so the family
project became Let's All Nap.

It took like 2 hours to get Val to sleep. Note to self: now that she
sleeps in her crib, it's almost impossible to get her to go to sleep in
our bed. Sigh.

Finally, she fell asleep and I tried to get some rest myself. Until
Patrick starting his low arooo of lonliness because Andrea had taken
Zeus into the vet for bloodwork (yes, of course, as always, he's fine.
The new pain meds are helping.) Val woke up and came back to our bed,
where we both slept until Andrea got home.

I still feel like crap but at least I'm more rested. I can only hope
that tomorrow brings more health for all of us.
