Sick in the Summertime

Brian and I knew we were tired. Really tired. We have dragged these last three weeks since our trip like we have never dragged before. And it’s nice to know it wasn’t “just” jet lag.

We have mono. At least, I do. And Brian and I never have successfully gone on a kissing break longer than a few hours, so I’m assuming the mirrored symptoms mean he has it too. The good news? We are over the worst of it.

And I feel tough to have toughed it out.

The doctor said to keep resting lots. She gave me a super-tylenol to help with the swelling in my lymph nodes and sore back. I’m happy to know that as this unseasonable cold, wet weather passes, so will this illness.

We had a memorial service for James yesterday. It was beautiful and I will share with you a little more about it sometime. But not right now. Right now I need to go tell Anna and the little boy who we’re providing respite for this weekend to be quieter. Maggie’s still sleepin’ for her nap.

    It must be a bit of a relief to know the tiredness had a very reasonable cause. You are definitely a tough gal! Praying for rest and quick recovery for you and Brian.

    It’s a great relief to know that jet lag won’t have to be this hard again!!!
