The Blessing Of Being Organized

Last Thursday Russ came home from a business trip sick. With our trip a week away I did everything possible to nurse him back to health from afar. He slept in the guest room, showered in the guest bath, ate alone. It was pure solitary confinement. I practically slid his tray of food through a slot in the door.

He recovered after four or five days and I thought we were out of the woods. Then two days ago my throat got sore, but not too bad. Yesterday I had a little nose issues, not too bad. This morning I woke up at three in the morning, full on sick. Really??!!??!!?!

I canceled the fun Christmas lunch I was supposed to go to. I found out late that I had a church meeting, I canceled. I took a three hour nap and have done everything possible to get better.

Thankfully outside of fun things and meetings I am ready for the trip. I am packed, have all my home support set up, the house is clean so when we return it will be welcoming, I have what few Christmas presents I have wrapped. Thank goodness I think in terms of contingency’s so that I don’t have a lot of last minute things to do, just in case. And here it is, just in case. I need to get well.

Thankfully my ears are not blocked so I shouldn’t burst an ear drum. This is not the way I wanted to spend Carter’s birthday, but I did get some quality three in the morning texting with her. Thanks for all the birthday wishes that got sent to her through my Facebook. It helps to have a little pick me up when you are away on your birthday. Now I am looking for a little pick me up.
