Sick Day

Today I woke up at 5 am when Aaron got up for work. The plan was for me to drive him to work so that I could have the car for later when I needed to go to work. Unfortunately the cold I had been trying to ward off came on full force and needless to say I felt like poo this morning.

I couldn't fall to sleep again so Aaron gave me some meds and made my bed out in the front room. He turned on the Christmas tree. I fell asleep with Home Alone 3 on for background noise and the tree was my night light. I woke up at 11 feeling rested but still icky. It was one of those days I hate but love at the same time.

The reasons that sick days are bad is because there are a million things you can do, but you don't have the energy to do them. Also, if you are like me, you don't have the will power. I spent the afternoon cat napping through Cake Boss and thinking about how I will accomplish all of our thank you notes from the wedding.

There are also a million and a half reasons sick days are great. You get lots of sleep, hopefully. You get to lay around and hopefully not feel too lazy. Also it is kind of acceptable to wear sweat pants all day and not take a bath until 3 pm. I love sick days now that I am married because Aaron is a real good caretaker. I have always thought he is the more nurturing of the two of us, and I have lots of examples to back that up.

Today he came home with everything we needed for dinner, he got lots of medicine for me, and jello for my scratchy, hurty throat. He made dinner for us and he even rubbed my feet while we were watching Burn Notice. He hates rubbing feet!

All in all today was not the day I had hoped it would be or that we had planned it would be. It was however a nice day to cuddle up, get well, and spend some time receiving wonderful care from my hubby :)
