Today was day 4 of being sick in bed. I missed church so as not to make anyone else sick. Tyler taught Sunday school by himself and said the kids were great. One boy volunteered to run to the library for chalk and scripures. Tyler had everyone join chairs into a circle and said the discussion was good.
He then spent 2 hours shoveling the driveway so that I would no longer be stranded and would be able to take the Envoy for errands and such. I am so grateful, although I feel bad because his back is hurting now. With his stomach pain and getting a CT earlier this week, he was ordered to not do anything strenuous for a few weeks. I hope he doesn't hurt too bad. He said he "feels like a man now" though.
Jessica invited us over to watch the Superbowl and Caitlin and her family was there too. It was potluck style, but Tyler and I had been been too sick to prepare anything other than chips and salsa. I am still not fully recovered, but I'm grateful to no longer have the pounding headache that made me take off on Thursday and Friday.
My appetite isn't fully back, but I wanted to eat something other than rice.

At one point, all the nieces gathered around Tyler and were poking him. It was cute.

So, back in the beginning of December, we gave Lilly this doll at her birthday party. Caitlin said that she's been taking the doll everywhere and taking care of it ever since then. 

Winter is hard. I'm really dreading work tomorrow. It's always hard to start again on Monday, but even more so after a vacation or long weekend.
Winter is hard. I'm feeling a bit in a slump, having a hard time finding motivation and energy to do things, including pushing through a work day, especially if I'm having some tough appointments. I'm trying the approach of being easy on myself and not getting too upset when I am not able to reach my goals, such as making dinner, doing exercise/yoga, or chores. Tyler is really patient with me and he doesn't get upset if something isn't done around the house or dinner isn't made. I'm trying to just push myself to do my best, but to not stress out if I am late to something or if I don't feel up to doing an errand. Tyler also has helped me with pretty much all the errands. He has brought me dinner a lot lately when I haven't had the energy to cook. I ought to be pretty grateful for my guy.
