sick days

This time I have an excuse for not posting

I've been sick

Yes me, the "I don't get sick" mom

Caught a variation on the bug going through the family. Came home early from church Sunday because I felt wrong. Felt like I was cheating, since I wasn't throwing up and didn't have clear signs of being sick. But I think I maybe had a fever. Spent all day Sunday and Monday in bed, more or less.

Today I'm feeling maybe 75% better. Still have some symptoms. But I am better by default because Buzz is sick. When a 2 year old is sick, Mom has to kick it into gear whether she feels like it or not. 2 year olds are not compliant in the bucket grabbing. In fact, he sees the bucket as a sign of being sick and will not let it be near him. Stupid Bucket!

So anyway. I'm a little oogey, a little light headed, and facing 3 days of laundry to catch up on.

But still. Nice to be feeling a little better.

Only bad part? Seems not fair to only lose 2-3 lbs after not eating for 2+ days. Not that I'd get sick to lose weight. But if you ARE sick and can't eat for a few days, seems like you ought to get a little more bonus in the weight loss department, is all I'm saying.

I'd really like to be down 2 more pounds. That would put me in another zone I haven't been in, in a long time.

As for the walking ... I can see it slowly drifting out the window. Summer and walking just don't go well together. I don't know why.
