living 13

So I have made about an 85% recovery and it’s time to ease back into life and routine again. This virus hit me in the knees big time and I was literally in bed for four days. I thought I was feeling better and fever free on Friday, so I catered a party. Later that night (while sleeping) my fever came back and it was not going to ease up.
My husband was a true champion and took off work. Not an easy thing for anyone to do, but as a teacher he had to do a lot of lesson writing and such. Plus we have had literally an arctic blast (it’s 2 degrees out, as I write….but the sun is out!) here in Chicago and it was his job to keep 3 kids busy and happy while I napped…oy, thank you Nathan!
I will be updating the China stats over the next day. I think we are well into 225 gifts offered! I will be also contacting each of you who have written me and haven’t heard back. Be patient, I’m still trying to get over this nasty nasty bug.
By the way, the above photo is of my daughters’ window. The white filmy stuff is beautiful ice crystals just clustered waiting to get inside! It really is cold here, but gorgeous!
