I have been sick since Saturday night. A full-on, knock 'em down, beat 'em up sick. Headache, sore throat, aches, runny nose, fatigue. It's my most favorite thing, ever. Yesterday, watching me moping around and puttering from one half-finished activity to another, Chad looked at my furrowed brow and pouty mouth and said, "You just can't stand missing a day of productivity, can you?"
Well, duh! Of COURSE I can't stand it! I had plans, BIG plans for yesterday. And today. And everyday. My life is a Big Plan, and being sick throws me entirely off course. I need to clean my house, develop and prep projects for upcoming Stampin Up events, clean up my garden (hard hit by frost the other night–everything is looking wilted and blackened and ugly), start thinking about Christmas projects, work on ongoing projects. I am BUSY. I have THINGS TO DO. And then God thinks I need to slow down, or something.
I know, I know. None of those things on my to-do list is that important. There is still plenty of time. It's ok to stop and just be.
It just feels so wrong.
Hope you feel better soon. I woke up with a sore throat and stuffy nose this morning. I guess it’s going around.
(Love the leaf picture, btw)
Tea and sleep and letting yourself rest are my best advice… tomorrow is another day 🙂
BTW, I have an advent calendar question for you – I emailed you but never heard back… shoot me an email when you are feeling better so I can pick your brain, okay?
It’s ok to be crabby when you are sick. And it’s ok to rest when you are sick. And if you are too sick to drink tea and read a book then it’s ok to cry when you are sick.
My advice- GET WELL SOON!
Love you,
Heidi
