Uuugghhh…

I caught a cold or something, and as a result I feel horrible – yesterday it was just a sore throat, but now it’s the full on nasal congestion and general gross feeling. I’ve spent a good deal of the day in bed or doing stuff around the house that needed to be done (like put away the tea and hot chocolate supplies that has been in a cardboard box since the move). I almost forgot to take the trash out, which would have been bad as it was full because the “sanitation engineers” half emptied our can last week for some reason.

Lionel has gotten in the habit of clawing the back of my leg when I’m in the kitchen. I think this is because we feed him human food too often. Today he did it when I was holding a mug of very hot tea and I almost spilled it on him.

Amy and I bought some new dance mats as our Christmas present to each other. They look OK, but the foam insert in them comes in 6 pieces, so it isn’t as durable as the 3 piece foam mats that I had before. I think I’m going to do a swaparoo on them to see if it helps, or put packing tape on where the mats connect together to help stiffen them. More on this in a future post.

I’m going back to bed…
