I went down to Nashville this past weekend to visit Emily! It was SO very much the weekend I needed. We spent almost the entire weekend snuggled up in a hotel room watching movies and cuddling. We even had late-night chinese in bed! We went to Cabana for dinner on saturday, and had breakfast at Noshville on sunday! Talk about a perfect food weekend, right? It was just nice to be able to spend time with Emily without having to wake up and shuffle stuff around and get out of the way of her suite-mates. (Not that I don't love being around her friends and such, I just enjoyed having some alone-time too....)
I had kind of a cough all weekend, which I attributed to a weird-smelling cleaning product at the hotel, but when I got back Sunday night, I felt kinda allergy-ridden, and then I woke up monday morning feel just completely useless and sick. I was still in an awesome mood from the whole weekend with my baby, though, so I stayed positive, went to walgreens, got some medicine and OJ and Ive been taking care of myself, snuggled up in bed or on the couch all day. It's technically now tuesday, and Im thinking Im gonna use another sick day and stay home today. So far Ive kept down some soup, but my nose and head are still all stuffed up, and Im still a little woozy/dizzy.
Basically, being sick sucks a whole hell of a lot, but its made a lot better by the fact that every time I close my eyes, I can picture my baby softly sleeping on my shoulder next to me all weekend.
