Soccer and Sickness

This was the most gorgeous weekend of all time. And Steve had to work the entire time and I got sick. Awesome. 

Yesterday, I was OK and managed to get Wm to his first soccer game of the season (even though I pulled in, realized I forgot his cleats, and had to drive home and was a bit late because there was no more parking). Suzanne came with me (thank GOD) and then we all went out to lunch afterwards. It was super fun!! 

Action shot!

Sadly, yesterday evening, I started feeling sketchy and was up all night with a sore throat and achy body. I have some kind of virus and I'm not pleased about it. It's 80 degrees out and I have the chills. Steve and Wm are fine, so far. But, I am SUPER bummed, because I had just passed the 1 year mark of any illness at all! I think I got cocky. I was all, "I AM THE HEALTHIEST MAN ALIVE!" I mocked Wm and Steve for their various ailments. So the gods have cursed me. They waited until it was the perfect weekend of all time to strike me down. Lesson learned. 

But, because I am a goddamn warrior, I got a ton of stuff accomplished anyway. Wm was very helpful!! We went to Whole Foods and he was a super helper. Then I baked banana bread and put a really good dinner in the crock pot. We took a potted plant over and met our new neighbors. I packed up all my winter clothes and put out all the spring/summer clothes. And, with help from Wm and his muscles, I flipped the mattresses and put on our warm weather sheets. HADUUUUKEN!

Steve has also been strangely productive for a tournament weekend. Usually, he's dead on his feet. But he even preemptively put out ant traps (we will conquer you this year, ants!!) He did say he's waiting until later this week to mow. So we are those neighbors.  BUT - he brought me a funnel cake from the tournament and so he can pretty much do whatever he wants. 

I am staying home from work tomorrow, so Wm is thrilled with life because he gets to sleep in and just walk up to school. Steve and I are off together on Wednesday for a Party Day because of all his weekend work (and I'm a state worker, so I never really work). I hope I am all better!! And Steve remains healthy.
