achoo!

This pattern has been going on since high school-- really stressful time full of little sleep followed by down time in which I get slammed with some sickness or other. So of course, following our first weekend home, I'm laid up with a nasty cold-- the full tilt coughing/sneezing/sore throat/congested thing. My dear husband talked me into staying home from work-- I very rarely take a sick day. I think if my co-workers could see (or hear) me now they'd be glad I wasn't holed up with them in our small conference room for the myriad of meetings scheduled today.

One thing worked out well: Mom brought a nice big jar of her chicken noodle soup when they came to visit yesterday-- it's the best comfort food there is.

In other news, we did make a lot of progress on the apartment this weekend. Check out photos here. I do love this apartment-- even more now that the mountains of boxes are gone.

p.s. Happy one month anniversary, dear husband! (As we speak he's on his way to deliver me a movie, juice, and cough drops. He's pretty great.)

*that darling teapot, a gift from my friend Emily, has been my best friend today. I think I'm on cup #4.
