Well, sorta.

I don't feel so good today. The damp, rainy/snowy/freezyrainy weather of the last few days has finally taken its toll. Between the sinus nongoodness and the muscle aches, I decided to take a sick day, fire up a big ol' mug of Sugar-Free Hot Cocoa, and duck under a large, warm blanket. I am going to jinx myself for saying this, but as of this moment, I am pretty much caught up on my work (undoubtedly a rare moment of "calm before the storm")...so I figured I could afford to miss a day.

I think the world can run without my help for just this one day...

Besides, Freya the Warrior Princess seems to be happy that I stayed home, if the small purring pile of fur in my lap is any indication..

I hope that you feel better.

Thanks. Hot Cocoa, warm blankets, and purry kitties have been known to have amazing recuperative powers.

You need soup, saltines, 7-Up and Popsicles. That's what I fortify my kids with.

I prescribe hot white tea with honey and lemon, a lap throw topped off by feline fur, and Rickie Lee Jones.

... preferably under the lap throw with you.

My mind is not on work today, as you can see.

I don't normally buy saltines, 7-Up and Popsicles, so they are a treat for my kids.

(Hmmmm, maybe that's why Emma stayed home on Tuesday. She ended up eating six Popsicles.....)
