Dear Plague, please leave our house. Thanks, Management.
So, Jonah stayed home sick from school today. At first, I wasn't sure if he was just slow waking up and cranky or what. I spent about 30 minutes trying to hold him while he was alternating between trying to get comfortable on one of my shoulders and crying from not being able to get comfortable. But, he didn't want me to lay him down either. Eventually, at about 9am (when he should have been at school) I was able to get him to lay down without me so I could call them and let them know he wasn't coming.
I felt horrible making him go to the grocery with me, but we didn't have any medicine for him or juice, both of which he was going to need. So, despite the tears as I got him ready, we made it there and back and he spent the rest of the day on the couch watching movies and sleeping. He'd only leave the couch to come find me if I was out of sight to get him something or just to come sit with him. I've never seen him so pitiful when he was sick before. I even had to feed him his lunch. As in hold the food to his mouth so he could take bites. Even for cookies! He perked up quite a bit at about 5pm after Chris got home.
Despite that, I was able to get pictures of all the pieces of jewelry I made last week and get another necklace done today. I was able to go run after Chris got home, but since Jonah took his nap on the couch (I didn't have the heart to move him, since he looked so comfy), I wasn't able to do any yoga. Maybe tomorrow. My right leg has had a dull ache periodically since the race. I had forgotten about it until tonight. After my run tonight (which was only a mile), it really started to ache. It's not the calf, it's lower and kind of feels more like a soreness right around the bone than something muscular that I could stretch out. Stretches I normally do for my legs didn't seem to help. I'm hoping the yoga will help. I know in the past, any aches and pains I had from running or lack of exercise went away after a week or two doing yoga regularly. It's not like I didn't rest it plenty last week. *shrug*
I just better not get sick again. My sinus infection is officially gone I think, though I still have some congestion.
