Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Under the Weather
I'm not one to call in sick on a snowy day, but I did yesterday. Jon and I picked up food poisoning or a stomach bug this weekend, making for a miserable Sunday and Monday. He made it to work on Monday morning, but he wasn't up most of Sunday night with stomach cramps. I tried to be productive once the worst was past, knitting the edging on Caitie's shrug, doing laundry, organizing the explosion of gift wrap in the guest room, making dinner, and even shoveling snow. The shoveling revealed just how beaten I was: my arms and legs felt rubbery and weak after just a few minutes. I persevered, but it was slow going without my usual energy.
Although I'm feeling better today, I'm not entirely well. I have an appetite, but my stomach feels a bit upset every time I eat. I half contemplated taking today off too, just to get more rest and maybe get a few more things done around the house. I have a pile of mending, shopping to do, tons of laundry to be folded, stamps to be broken in, and just general tidying. There is at least a long weekend on the horizon.
