Where I've been
I have been completely out of the loop, so I have been staying quiet. I just realized I haven't updated for a month! I am alive, but not well.
We went out of town for a week. Then as soon as we returned, Lucas got really sick with a nasty stomach virus that lasted for over a week. Then I was roped in to becoming the Secretary of the Board for Lucas' co-op nursery school. (It's kind of exciting, but I'm a bit overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of responsibilities.)
Now I am sick. Miserable. I have the stomach virus. I have lost 5 pounds in a few days and can hardly stand up. I started coming down with it late Friday night, so if it runs the familiar course, I should be feeling better on Friday but unable to enjoy normal food until Sunday.
:(
Sunday is my 30th birthday. We planned a small, but fairly elaborate, dinner party to celebrate my birthday on Saturday night. I don't know if I'm even going to be able to enjoy it. I am frustrated and done with this year of ill health. At least I will be putting it all behind me on Sunday.
Trying to stay chill about the party. Whatever happens happens. It is a small group of my oldest friends, so they will understand. And I will enjoy what I can, even if it's not what I had envisioned.
Or maybe I will be better. I hope.
