eeeep!

Let’s just say this was not the funnest birthday I’ve had – stupid cold. And turns out poor Don has tonsillitis – no wonder our symptoms are different!

Because of the illness horror, I’m carrying the planned birthday activities forward to (I think) the weekend of 10 December. There will be a Big Birthday Bike Ride and a Big Birthday Run (possibly also Big Birthday Pilates if I can squeeze it in).

The best bit about my birthday by far is that Don, despite his extreme illness, insisted on smoking a pork shoulder for my birthday dinner – BECAUSE HE IS THE BEST HUSBAND EVER.

And TheUniverse has not quite finished smiting me.

This morning I woke up with a cold sore on my top lip. I really don’t care for this cold sores without warning thing that has been happening recently – no tingling, no pain, just GIANT lump.

Hurrah! All The Things!

I’m having today off sick because I’m pretty sure that going to SML would extend the illness by another couple of weeks. And it has been actually pretty gosh-darned relaxing.
