uh oh, an unfortunate thing happened. i got very sick.
i went to the dr last week for this cough that will. not. quit. after sleepless, coughing nights for over two weeks, i'd had enough. she prescribed me a couple inhalers and a cough suppressant and said to come back if i didn't start getting better.
then things got worse. way worse. yesterday i felt worse than i have in ... well, maybe ever. and i suddenly had a fever.
i went back to see dr with this fever and clunky, wheezy, noisy lungs. while i asked adam not to touch that and gave marin something to chew on, she said things like "bronchitis" and "pneumonia" and handed me her personal cell phone number and a prescription for antibiotics.
i popped the first two at the pharmacy counter.
today is day two and i feel somewhat better.
thanks to this speedbump, i have had lots of personal leisure time. probably not enough - as i still powered through making dinner one night, going to tj's, a meeting with adam's teacher, and teaching a yoga class tonight (ugh). BUT i did get my class last night subbed. and, also i took a nap today. a nap!! i slept in till 8 today. 8!!! and eric made coffee and breakfast and did laundry and ran errands and did SO much while i lazed about our house and porch for two days (it's crazy warm and sunny and despite how i feel, i had to soak some into my skin). i read people magazine and ate leftovers and did more resting than normal. i could have totally rested more, but still. it was pretty awesome.
thanks to this speedbump, i have not done much organizing or streamlining our living space. i do have a clutter bucket - that's full. and not getting put away today. but that's as far as i have gotten. i think a little slack this week is ok since, you know, i can barely breathe.
i haven't been on a computer too much, which is also great. and i have spent loads of time with our babies, which is always the best part of my days.
forced rest. not such a bad thing. if only i could breathe.
back to time tracking and normalcy and working on goals when i feel like i can fearlessly take a full breath without having to dig around for an inhaler afterward.
