June 21st, 2006 - In sickness…
Last Thursday, Maggie got the stomach flu. I picked it up overnight Saturday morning and Eric was sick by Saturday morning. Luckily Maggie was still out of it and mostly just wanted to snuggle in our arms. We barely had the energy to get her out of bed, downstairs, in the high chair, etc. It was a pretty horrible day. I’m still not back to 100% and took the last two days off work. I still haven’t eaten a full meal, and my tummy protests after everything I eat (not getting sick, it just feels queasy).
We’ve all lost weight, of course. This isn’t good for Maggie–she’s back to under 21#, and still isn’t eating much. She’s so skinny her skorts would fall off if she wasn’t wearing a diaper! Eric and I like our weight loss, but admit it’s unlikely it will stay off. Unless I continue to be non-hungry which wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Unfortunately, everything around the house has been neglected for nearly a week now. Including the new flowers I bought Friday…they remain in their little containers. :( I need to get some bills paid and reciepts entered in Quicken tonight as well.
And, of course, catch up at work. Due to the search and screen interviews, I was only in the office one day last week so it’s like I’ve been gone for 1.5 weeks. Thank goodness it’s summertime!
