Still low-energy and recovering, but still alive. My accomplishments today: my first walk since coming down sick on May 1, and a shower. Livin' large. My body is uncertain about the walk being a good idea, but I'm sure it'll come around eventually.
Elayna yesterday: "Happy Mother's Day even though I'm sick and you didn't get any gifts." Aw kid. Yes, she's down with it now. Judah had it last week, and Adam's done with it, so at least this'll be the end of this particular ick in the household - and at least she wasn't sick on SAT day!
Mother's Day shopping was apparently a comedy of errors. She tried to get me the "Shut Up, Shinji" t-shirt that Topato must've only been offering for like a month. So no gift from her, as she has to choose something currently available. But I love that she wanted to get me that. Adam ordered me a book, but then got the inter-library loan pickup notice on that selfsame book (he mostly picks up my library books, because the library is on his way home). I also use my wishlist as a remember-to-request-this-from-the-library list. I read fast and don't have money. So.
Judah made me GF s'mores pancakes and the breakfast potatoes I love; the guys suggested brunch out, but Judah's food is better than any restaurant food, plus my house is less crowded than a restaurant and I don't have to wear shoes. Also, on Saturday, Judah painted the rest of the stairwell and upstairs hallway. So I regard this as a pretty good Mother's Day weekend regardless.
Right. Enough internet procrastination. I should (hopefully, brain permitting) get to writing.
