More thoughts to follow

Thank you to everyone who commented on yesterday’s post. I was really engaged by the conversation that took place in the comment section.

I want to write more about the topic – and I will! – but I need a couple days. Last night I was wiped (my daughter got some disappointing news – everything will ultimately be fine! – and I hurried home to spend the afternoon with her) and today I have BOTH kids’ conferences, plus martial arts. Blerg.

I really, REALLY need this week to be over.

I also don’t feel great. I think it’s allergies but who knows. I don’t usually have allergies at this time of year… or maybe I do? I know I don’t in the winter but maybe in the fall I do. I haven’t been great about taking my medicine so it really could be allergies. Exhaustion is also at play. But my ears are all stuffy and my throat is toying with the idea of hurting. Right now its just a scratchy tickle that could go either way. I’ve felt like this for days, or I’d be a lot more worried about it. It’s the fact that I’ve just been hanging out in this stuffy ears / scratchy throat space that makes me think it’s allergies.

But I can totally see myself coming down with something on Friday afternoon. My body can hold a virus at bay until I finally have a chance to rest, and then let its guard down so I’m overtaken by it. I would not be surprised if that happens next week. It would suck, but it would also be fine. I’d much rather it happen next week than at Christmas.

We shall see. Just three more days until the break.
