Back to work today! Sawyer stayed home with Aaron today because he is really sick. I felt awful but I needed to go into the office. I took time off last week when Aaron was in San Diego and I feel guilty about that. I really need to work on this guilt thing. It doesn't serve anyone. Work was pretty uneventful. I chatted with my friend Mary, my friend Linda, and I got a bunch of things done that needed to be done. Around 3 pm, I decided I just couldn't be there anymore. The ibuprofen I was taking wasn't cutting it and I needed to lay down.
By the time I got home, Sawyer and Aaron had gone out grocery shopping (there was a great deal Hawaiian tuna and we wanted to make poke). I crawled into my room and was so surprised to see that Sawyer had left me gifts----he made my bed and turned on the essential oil diffuser. On my pillow, he had left my book, my rice filled sock (it feels so good after a minute in the microwave), and a sweet note. He is such a considerate kid. I napped and when they got home, he made me a tuna sandwich and delivered it in bed. What a sweetie.
Aaron went out fishing while I helped the kids with homework. He came home with two pretty sea trout and I could tell he was happy about his catch. He made some poke and let me just lay around and be lazy.
By 9:00, I was dead tired and feeling bad again. I crawled into bed, turned on my diffuser and wrapped my neck with the warm sock. I'm hoping that soon the sickness will be done with our house and everyone will be able to breathe clearly and energy will return. It seems that this has been bouncing back and forth between us for a couple of weeks now.
