sick? really?

Let me start off by saying that I have not been able to go outside enough these past few days. The weather has been PERFECT.

On Friday, Nate and I took the dogs to the park and Chloe completely wore herself out chasing after the soccer ball. It's almost bigger than she is and she had absolutely no fear attacking it when it came zooming at her. She also really enjoyed the car ride. Her ears were blowing in the wind so much I was pretty sure she was going to take flight and go right out the window.

That's our girl!
Watching us play soccer.

And Saturday afternoon we went down to Columbia to see the family for the first time in a month. We ate dinner with my parents. And my dad made boiled peanuts, and I'm pretty sure I had about a million of them. We brought home two bags and I doubt they'll last longer than a couple days. And we just spent the rest of the night watching a movie. It was very nice to curl up on the couch with Nate and the puppies and relax for a little while. And nice to be able to do all of that with the family.

Today we went to church with Nate's family and then ate a very early lunch with them. Actually, it might as well have been brunch. Then we had to head back up to Charlotte so I could go to work. Which I did. And now I am home sweet home. With a sore throat and aching body and no energy...all of which came out of absolutely nowhere. Nate's been sick, but I figured since I hadn't caught it yet it wasn't coming. But I might be wrong. I REALLY hope I'm not wrong, because sickness is the last thing I need right now.

I think I will just get my blanket and peanuts and medicine and not move from the couch for the rest of the night.

hope you are getting better… sore throat is not a lot of fun its just uncomfortable and difficult to swallow.

usually, i would take the Nim Jiom Cough Syrup (www.geocities.jp/ninjiom_hong_kong/index_e.htm ) which has a thick consistency formulation. it coats the throat and includes herbs that are particularly good for that application.

i hope it works on you as well.
