On the plus side, the only thing I absolutely must do today is go to the chiropractor. Which, I hope, will make me feel better. Down side is that I'll feel terribly guilty if I leave the shoveling out of the trash bins to Geoff.

On the down side, I am pretty sure I'm fighting something of the microscopic sort. I need to take it easy and care for myself today and, well, this week. Rest. Lots. But I'm going to feel guilty as hell if I do nothing but rest, because Geoff's working with a broken toe (oh, didn't mention that, did I? Yeah, he broke his little toe while on vacation. Vacation wasn't as nice to him as it was to me, though the toe did give him an excuse to put up his feet and rest more than he would have otherwise.)

But, yeah. Self-care needs to happen. Maybe taking a benadryl before bed tonight would also be a good idea. That might make it easier to switch back to this time zone. (Why is it so very difficult to adjust to two measly hours' (eastern) difference? I swear it was easier to adapt to the time change coming back from Australia than it has been from Colorado!)

Also? The water here sucks. I was spoiled by Colorado's water. (Which sucks in the spring, when they add tons of chlorine to the snow-melt, but otherwise is pretty good. If you aren't nearby a fracking zone, that is.) It's been very difficult to drink enough as a result. Which, I know, is part of my not feeling so great.

However. It's not like I'm anywhere near Death's door. For which I'm grateful. And while I really don't want to do anything at all, I think I can do what's necessary. *nods*

Speaking of, I should go start the day. I'd like to get the shoveling done before the chiropractor visit.

Definitely rest if you're feeling run down. And get a flu shot if you have time, because It's a nasty nasty flu season out there, and with Page in the Germ Factory that is school, your defenses need to be the best if they can be. Ach, poor Geoff's toe! I hope it wasn't too bad a break and that he's on the mend.

Well, taking it easy (if not actually resting) has happened. Now it is Cooking Time. :-/ But no flu shot for me! Oh, no! *shudders* Every single time I've gotten one in the past, my immune system's response to the shot has been worse than the flu that's out there. That said, both Geoff and Page have received their shots, so this house isn't too much of a danger zone. ;-)

The break wasn't bad enough for him to go to the doctor (no dislocation or anything really nasty), and it is on the mend now. Certainly the swelling and bruising have abated, so it's getting better.
