I caught Freya’s cold, and so did Brian. She recovered in less than 24 hours, but Brian and I are not as tough as our little baby, so we are both kind of a mess. But she still must be cared for, so while I’d love to be laying on the couch with some tea, dozing through a movie on TV, instead I must be wide awake and reading books to her and changing diapers and giving her snacks. Also the weather outside sucks, which means no outings today. I HATE YOU WINTER PLEASE STOP NOW.

Also yesterday I did two 5-minute burst training routines, not thinking about how my poor muscles would pay for it today. My quads, back, sides, etc, are all sore. It’s good, it means I used them well, but bodyaches + a cold really blows, especially when I must carry my 20+ lb baby around the house.

In nicer news, I bought forty small unopened daffodil stems yesterday for $5 and placed them into a clear glass carafe in the kitchen window. They are slowly beginning to bloom and it’s lovely.
