It seems my winter sickness waited until after the holidays to strike and I'm not minding at all. Despite the fever, aches, and chills it was a good excuse to lay under pretty blankets all afternoon while Ruby played nearby. After last year's family stomach bug without the backup of Brett around, I'll take a fever, no problem. Thankfully no one else is feeling bad yet except Sunday who seems to have picked something up while at the kennel while we were traveling. Plenty of liquids for the both of us.
I've got about ten posts lined up waiting on something or other for me to finish and I fear it will be Valentine's Day before I share a full Christmas decor post but that's just how it's been this week. I'm quite enjoying keeping the trees and twinkly lights up a bit longer since we were away for two weeks of winter break. I'm also feeling quite energized about the new year and some family goals we've set for ourselves.
I hope you and/or your family has had a lovely start to the new year! I'm off to drink some more water and get to bed early to see if I can shake this by tomorrow.
