Grumpy

I have been sick for the past eight days with the flu.  And I have been a real grumpy about it.  The flu in June?!  Today was the first day that I actually started to feel like myself, but this sore throat and cough will not quit.  I am also the worst patient.  I whine and cry and constantly call out to J for more water or more blankets or ice cream.  It was so bad a few days ago that when I heard the Mister Softee truck drive by I begged J to run outside and fetch me a soft serve because "I'm sick!".  I think he is absolutely done with this flu.

i normally never do resolutions for the new year.  history has proven that when i make a big resolution announcement, i inevitably fail.  instead, i try to look at the start of the new year as just that, the start of a new year.  this year, however, i decided to look at 2015 as being filled with as many things "new" as possible.  maybe it was because we were just married at the end of last year or maybe it's because of my feeling stagnant.  whatever the reason, i'm trying to fill my days with new things.  whether it's new recipes to cook for friends, taking ski lessons, or trying to write more.  and then there's my current favorite, Italian classes (ciao! buona sera!  mangia la pasta!).  it's been a fun start so far.
