This cold has got me tired and stuffed up, but my boss is understanding (and I'm sure doesn't want to get all his customers sick!) so I'm off work today. That will leave me with enough time to get things a bit more organized around here. I should probably try to lie down for a bit of rest before I get cracking, or maybe take an acetaminophin... that's supposed to be safe during pregnancy and I didn't take anything at all last night, although the Nyquil sure was tempting. Couldn't risk it - and I did manage to sleep on and off for a few hours at a time all night. Pain in the sinuses, I tell you!

So my horseplay has been much curtailed, first I was away all weekend and now I'm not feeling very healthy, so I don't want to risk getting out there and getting into a situation where I don't have the energy or ability to cope with what comes up. I think I might just go sit with them for a while today, bundle myself up and trundle off to the paddock for some quality undemanding time.

I have a feeling I'm going to need more tissues before this cold is over with! Puffs Plus with Lotion... here we come.

Aside from the sniffling and snuffling of a cold (a gift from my sister-in-law's twins) I had a good weekend down on the coast... and now that my parents know, everyone else can know, too! Matthew and I are expecting a baby in September. =) You don't know how many times I've been typing away and almost let something slip on here. ;-) Now I can be open and not have to censor myself.

Trying hard to get this place cleaned up before Matthew comes home on Friday, but I don't know if I'll make it or not. I keep sitting down in front of the TV and getting sucked in. I have accomplished a bunch but I'm sneezing so much that it gets demoralizing and I just sit it out and blow my nose and turn on the TV. Then I'm done for a few hours. It's already dark out and I haven't fed the horses, yet. I'll head out there, now and call my boss to see if we can postpone or he can find other help this week. I do NOT want to sneeze in the dip! Ick. Nobody else does, either, I'm sure.

Okay.. so off to try to get this place ship shape!
