Tuesday, May 21, 2013 - Rest and Sick Day

The sore throat I started getting over the weekend is working it's way through my system in the regular pattern of a cold, the first time that's happened in a long time. I've been taking Alka-Seltzer Cold Plus fizzy tablets every night, so I've been sleeping well, and last night was particularly good. So quiet here, no lights, and the quiet whooshing of the nearby creek provides just a little bit of white noise, like a small fan in the next room, and has provided both Hubby and I with just what we need, a lot of sleep. I spent most of the day in bed, reading and sleeping, which did a lot to improve my cold (and my humor, which has been pretty grumpy lately, undoubtedly because we're so run-down from our busy schedule), and another relaxing evening will likely go a long way as well. Hoping we feel up to taking a short ride tomorrow.
