Shhh….

img_0821 It’s been this kind of day.

I went to work this morning, of course, but as the morning went on started feeling, well, blech. I said yesterday that I was completely surprised when the doctor’s office told me I had a fever? Well, this morning, I felt like it. Shivering and such. (I was so grateful I had a shawl with me!) And of course, the little bottle of Advil I keep at my desk was empty, so I basically spent the morning feeling lousy.

I’m sure there’s a reason that, since starting the meds the doctor prescribed for the lung infection and asthma, I feel worse. I’m coughing more than I was, my nose is dripping, and I’m tired. I don’t feel miserable or even really sick, but just not right, you know? And so, I stayed home this afternoon. I spent most of the afternoon on the couch with Chappy, who’s working hard trying to get me and Dad back to our usual good health. Poor little guy, he’s exhausted!

I don’t have any knitting pictures to show you. I worked on my Peacock Stole tonight, which is coming along, but slowly. I started the ribbing on my socks. I haven’t started the sleeve on my cardi yet, though–I keep forgetting to bring my Denise case with me, and therefore can’t get my sleeve stitches safely off the needles. I’ll manage that tomorrow, for sure.

    Poor Chappy, they get down too when you’re low don’t they. I get Disney wanting to sit just behind me on the sofa, so she keeps my back warm (well at least I think that’s what she’s trying to do!) I’d just stay curled up in the warm and do whatever makes you feel better. Now the doctor has told you how poorly you are, your body has given in..he should have given you a clean bill of health and you’d be non the wiser ;)

    Chappy is soooooo cute!!! What an adorable pose. I hope you feel up and running soon and much better. The meds should help soon.
    Get well.

    I’m so sorry to hear you are feeling worse. I hope the antibiotics kick in quick! I could have used a shawl myself yesterday- will have to remember to take one with me next time I go someplace cold.

    I know exactly what you mean by feeling worse after you start the meds from the dr. What’s the deal with that? Maybe you should be staying home all day on Thursday? I know you have an awesome attendence record, but really, how well do you feel?

    Oh, Chappy looks all tuckered out from the stress! You and your dad better get well soon, for his sake!

    I hope you feel better fast! I agree with the “rest” edict, and make sure to get lots of fluids!

    I’m sure Dr. Chappy is doing all he can to nurse you back to health–hope you feel better soon!

    Oooh, sounds miserable! Hope you feel better soon. Rest and fluids and snuggling with Chappy are my recommendations.

    I’m sorry that you are feeling bad! I hope you get to rest and get to knit a lot!
