Sick.

[judecorp]

I am in my pajamas. Jen is in her pajamas. Or maybe yesterday's clothes. We just ate some delivered chinese food. Punk is taking a nap. She is also in her pajamas. Because everyone is sick. And grumpy. And sick.

Jen has been sick since last Sunday and can't seem to shake the cold. Punk started getting sick on Wednesday night and has been crying and restless and feverish every night since (which never bodes well for me). She has a double ear infection and is getting two of her two-year molars. The antibiotics are /just/ starting to kick in and maybe we will actually leave the house tonight. Depends on Jen, really.

Tomorrow I will go visit my grandparents. My grandmother got out of the nursing home today and is doing very well, getting her strength back and doing PT and OT to build herself back up. My grandfather has been really depressed and down but I think he will perk up when my grandmother is home. He has agreed to see an oncologist (he previously said he didn't want to) to at least find out the scope of the situation. I am glad for that.

This is not at all the Valentine's Day I would ever have imagined for myself: us in our pajamas in front of our laptops with take-out chinese, and lots of tissues. But there are two sets of beautiful flowers on the mantle and that's going to have to do it this year, I guess.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone. I hope your day is better than mine!

Ugh, I'm sorry :(

I'm sorry. Alas, our day is not better. I am sick, J. is recovering from an ear infection (not quite as cranky as earlier this week, thank goodness) and C. is working like a fiend because she missed 2.5 days of work this week thanks to a sick boy.

We have a lot of dark chocolate in the house, however.

Now see, I don't like dark chocolate. :) But "the cats" got me a reese's chocolate and peanut butter heart and it was deeee-licious! (I had to sneak-eat it during nap time, ha ha!)

Punk is loads better today than she was yesterday, which I am taking to mean that the cold is running through and the antibiotics are starting to kick the ear infections. Yesterday was an awful day I'd like never to repeat, which basically involved her insisting that I hold her against my shoulder all day while she sobbed and rubbed tears, boogers, and coughed-out food all over my shirt. Again and again and again.

Perhaps she will even sleep tonight and it will be the best Valentine's present ever!

I'm glad to hear that J is on the mend and I hope you (and I) get over the ick quickly!!

See, your Valentine's beats mine. Subtract the Chinese, flowers, and child, add in sneezing bloody mucus (me), and you've got our Valentine's day. Yay.
