Sick-still

 Oh my goodness, I'm so glad that it is finally Friday. This week has been made more difficult thanks to the pesky virus that has been nagging at me. By the time I come home from work my nose is bright red, my head hurts and I'm exhausted. Hopefully this weekend I will be able to rest, reset and start to feel normal again.  Being sick simply stinks!

Sick

 I managed to dodge the virus all school year, but this week my luck finally ran out. I came down with a wicked cold, leaving me worn out while sporting a bright red nose. I've been able to make it through my schedule, but I've been heading into bed at 7 pm and sleeping until morning. I miss seeing Timmy and Scott in the evening, but right now my body just needs to sleep.

After several days, I'm finally feeling a little better this morning. My head is clear and my throat and chest don't hurt as much. Hopefully I am on the mend because this cold has been miserable. I suspect I will still crash out early tonight, but hopefully I'll be well by the weekend.

I'm looking forward to the protests on Saturday! 

Race Day

 After a fantastic week at home, Robby has returned to school to finish out the semester. I know that he enjoyed being home and eating lots of homemade meals, but I also saw that he was getting antsy to return to his autonomy and friend group. He is also chomping at the bit to share the news of his scholarship with his professors.

Several months ago, he signed up for the Lucky Charm 4 Miler race with his Aunt Sheri. Wanting to perform at peak, he has trained for more than a month. He was nervous about the fourth mile because all of his other races have been the regular 5K distance, and concerned because he became ill after his last 5K. (It was nearly impossible to convince him that he was sick with the flu, which had absolutely nothing to do with the 5K.)

Despite his concerns, he did an amazing job. Sheri and Timmy crossed the finish line in less than 1 hour, which was his goal. He delighted in us cheering him on, and was especially giddy that his Dad was there to witness his triumph. Timmy wore his participation medal all day and it is now proudly hanging on his wall, in a prime location to be seen and admired during his Zoom class today. It looks like Aunt Sheri has a new race buddy because Timmy spent hours on Sunday looking for his next challenge.
