I woke up in the early hours of Friday with a stomach ache and it progressed into vomiting and fever and just knocked me flat all day. Two days later and I am thankfully not throwing up or feverish but I have no appetite or energy. Yuck!
It marked the end of a somewhat unusual week that started on Monday with Elise hanging out with us. After she and Beckie had lunch, we four played an ancient version of Celebrity Taboo that Beckie got a hold of and figured that we would be able to tackle it since we lived in the 90's. It was pretty fun. Tuesday was time to get back to "reality" since all our visitors were gone and it was fairly successful except for a frustrating shopping trip in the afternoon. Wednesday afternoon we had an older couple, Stephanie and Mike, from our ward over to explain how we did Billion Graves since Stephanie wants to get involved. Not that we're experts but we have been doing photographing and transcribing those photos for Billion Graves for over a year now. I spent Wednesday evening baking Beckie's birthday cake and making gluten-free Chex mix. Thursday we did grocery shopping and had Beckie over for dinner that night. Emily and the kids joined us for cake and ice cream.
Aaaaaaaand then Friday morning hit and everything came to a screeching halt. No music lessons that morning, no FaceTime with Kirsti and family in the afternoon, no Art Night with ladies in the ward that night. General Conference has been this weekend and, thankfully, I was able to sit and listen and do some hand projects with lots of napping before and after the sessions. We did a make-up FaceTime with Kirsti mid-day Saturday and poor little Ivan had hit his eye and had to go to urgent care to see if he needed stitches..... he didn't. He looks pretty chipper in the photo below, doesn't he?
I watched two movies this week - Age of Adeline because when I was on Netflix looking for something else, it sucked me in and I stayed up way too late Wednesday night to watch it. I had seen it before but had forgotten much. I loved it. I watched Pretty in Pink while I was languishing in bed Friday night and I honestly don't ever remember seeing it before. And, I really don't ever need to see it again. Lots of potty mouths and a teen angst plot. But, now I can say I have seen it, right? We watched Picard Thursday night and it was a bleak episode. Three more episodes to go to get them out of the mess they are in...
Here's to a healthier week with more energy because I am going to need it....
