Sick Days

I am on a quest to have two entries per day on this blog.  Mostly to keep me accountable so I can continue to improve my writing.   Well, I made it a day and a half. 

Then I got sick.   Yes, it's an excuse.   This was the kind of sick that I laid on the couch and I didn't know how I was going to physically make it through the day. I  have four little ones to take care of, one of which is a nursing baby.  I wanted to call my mom, or drive to her house and just sleep there all day while she watched the kids.   But since my husband was working from home I figured I could always call him as a back up.  

I made it through the day, barely.  I put on my rally cap when I had to but then I would find the couch as quickly as I could so that I could rest.   Fortunately, a few nights of sleep seems to have me back on track.

Through all of this I couldn't help but think of those people who are fighting sickness, such as cancer.  They feel like this EVERY SINGLE DAY, ALL DAY LONG.  It is something I can't imagine and hope I will NEVER have to experience.  I am thankful for my health and don't take it for granted.
