taking a sick day



- As I laid in bed all day listening to the wind push against my door and the chairs move around on my porch it occurred to me that my killer sinus pain and congestion is due to allergies, not because I'm sick. Oh well, I'm taking a sick day anyway because let's face it, I feel like I am.

- Adam came home this afternoon to offer lunch and take my couch away. Apparently it was exactly what he's been looking for to go in his new office so now I have an empty space in my living room. I'm wondering how long it's going to be there.

- Tess came home, saw the missing couch and asked if she could please vacuum where the couch had been. Eh, yes please. After a while of hearing the vacuum running I could hear Megan and Tess giggling as they, I imagine, sucked up each others clothes. Don't I remember doing that as a kid?

- I've been able to read most of today and am almost finished with Run. Hopefully by the end of the night I'll be done and able to move on to The Middle Place.

- I was able to talk with my good friend Eryn this afternoon. I found out she'll be spending the majority of the summer here so I'm looking forward to all the time we'll have to catch up.

- Lori and I are officially going to see Keane in concert on May 12th. I'm really looking forward to not only going to see Keane, but going with Lori. What can I say, she's good concert company.

Sorry you are not feeling well. Allergies are so frustrating to me because at least with a virus you feel like you'll be well again in a week, where allergies are more unpredictable.

I loved that Tess wanted to vacuum. What a sweet offer!

I saw on Lori's facebook that you guys are going to Keane! I'm so jealous! They're my favorite, as you know, and they're not coming to Phoenix. I would have felt really ripped off, but they're not going to Portland either. I'm wondering if there will be a second US leg to the tour. I hope so! I've seen them twice, so I shouldn't complain, but they are just so good live! You guys will have so much fun!

Uh, hello, where's my invitation to Keane?!? I want to go! I'm so offended.

Sorry to hear about your sick day, but I can say from recent experience... just embrace it. It's so much better when you allow yourself to rest when your body needs it rather than trying to keep up with the usual activities.

Do you wanna go couch shopping?

Just be glad you have the option to take a sick day -- live it up, I say.

That's so awesome that Tess felt the need to vacuum. I wish my boys would get that desire once in awhile!

Lori is definitely good concert company and Keane sounds like a good one.

I didn't know you got allergies, that sucks.

If Adam took your couch to the office does that mean you're going to get a new one? Woohoo for that.
