As you know, I’ve been working on slowing it on down this past week while I’ve been visiting family. Well, that slowing down slowed WAY down when I caught a bad cold a couple of days ago. Several family members had it and with eating together and being together all day, catching it was sort of unavoidable (and totally worth it because they are all so wonderful). So yesterday when the baby went down for a nap, I did too. And I woke up THREE HOURS later! Goodness gracious. By the time I woke up the baby had been up long enough to build a “mountain” out of legos (which also somehow involved a hippopotamus), play under the dining room table for a while, and have a cheese stick (her fave snack).

The cold also has me in a sort of slow motion time warp—-you know how that is when you are sick and feel out of it? But that driver part of me that likes to make me work past the point of being healthy can still get around that somehow. Last night my husband could see I was super tired, so he “sent” me to bed early. He came upstairs to check on me and found me in my jammies in bed on my laptop returning emails. Oops. I’m glad he took away the laptop and turned out the light. Sometimes I need a little help like that.

So, now I am home in Minneapolis and will be catching up on work here. But I’ll be trying to do it in a balanced way so that I can get well. It is the kind of cold that makes you lose your voice intermittently, so I guess singing will have to wait for a few more days…
