2010 in 16 easy steps

Here’s how our year has gone so far:

1. Replace the dead car.

2. Make aebleskivers for FHE.

3. Split internet with our diagonally-upstairs neighbors. Only one room in our house (the bedroom) has a strong enough signal to connect.

4. The Bwun gets a cold.

5. My cousin has her baby 5 weeks early, so we postpone the baby shower.

6. The Romgi gets a cold.

7. The Bwun gets a cold again.

8. I get the flu and an ear infection. Plus powerful painkillers.

9. Baby shower #1.

10. I move the computer to the other side of the bedroom so it’s not in the Romgi’s way. The internet barely works. Try to get the Romgi to go talk to the neighbors about it.

11. I get the flu again.

11. Baby shower #2.

12. Valentine’s Day dinner at my aunt’s house (my parents and sister are in town).

13. The Romgi gets strep throat.

14. Cancel 1-night trip to Midway – the Romgi’s parents were going to watch the Bwun overnight.

15. I start feeling sick again.

16. Trip to CA this Thursday? Please let us all feel better!

Misery!

Last night around 5 my back started to hurt a little. Within an hour it ached so much I could hardly move. Taking some Tylenol helped, but I got a headache, I was stuffed up, and my throat started swelling. I put the Bwun to bed and then went to bed myself, hoping I’d feel better in the morning.

Instead, I woke up about every hour, and in the middle of the night I had a high fever. I think (though I haven’t confirmed with the Romgi) that I was delirious. The Romgi suggested I take a hot bath, and I’m sure the water was hot but within minutes it felt lukewarm. It did help, though, and I was able to go back to sleep until the Bwun woke up in the morning.

I hate the flu!

Luckily a friend picked the Bwun up and watched him for several hours so I could rest, and the Romgi came home early from school so I had help. But I sure wish I felt better already!
