Fully recovered from whatever-it-was on Sun night. Honestly, I was pretty much recovered at the point that I posted about it; I ate a little bit carefully on Mon and turned down subbing for PREP, just in case, but everything was fine. Today I ran and mowed the lawn and had ice cream, so - clearly, I'm fine. (Although NOW I have menstrual cramps. ( Read more... )

The adults are kind of in a funk over here. ( Will's funk )

I: have a headcold. But I got in an 11-mile run on Saturday before I came down with it on Sunday. Even slogged out 4.5 miles today, made soup, pasta salad, washed dishes (see below), planned for this week's PREP class and school's chocolate order pickup - but then needed a 90-min nap after lunch. :P

Right then. Just shoot me now. England's back on (for those of you who saw my despairing post last night, which I have since removed). Really - planning a trip anywhere was about an equal headache, so might as well stick to the fun destination. :P Still working out the kinks and my head is still spinning from information overload but ... yeah ( Read more... )

One of those days where I'm sure I got something accomplished, but I'm not sure what that is, exactly, aside from taking Two to speech, running a short errand, going for a short run, baking a batch of cookies, debating the merits of signing up for an intro Library Tech Asst class at the community college, a bit of reading/playing with the girls and ( Read more... )
