Week 8 seems so very long ago. The truth is, it was. I think I am going to refer to it as the lost week. For most of the week I had the flu. I didn't realize it at first, but after 6 days of being sick and not being able to eat, that is what I am calling it!Week 8 started off well enough. We had plans to go to a show at the Pitman Broadway Theater, A Song in My Heart, with Bunkey and Eddy. I was up relatively early and took care of my Sunday chores before we had to leave at about 1:15. It was during the drive over to Pitman that I began to feel, not so good. But we persevered and ended up at Carolina Blue, which we love, for an early dinner. It was frigidly cold and by the time we got home, I was ready for bed.
Monday I went to work only to have the nurse call Mark to come and pick me up around 10:30. Tuesday, most of my day was spent in bed. Tuesday evening, after his writer's meeting, poor Mark got sick. I slept through most of it. I woke up around 6:30 to his suffering through, what I think, was food poisoning. I went off to work and he stayed in bed all day. Wednesday evening we just hung out, laying around the family room watching Lost in Austen, good movie. Thursday I ventured off to work. Mark was feeling better and made plans to go to a writer's meeting. Thursday I rushed home from work and climbed right into bed where I stayed for two more days. Finally feeling a bit better, Saturday evening we visited with Naya and Howard for her winter holiday celebration. The place was decorated for Mardi Gras, Valentine's Day and the Chinese New Year. To round out the holidays, we donned St. Patricks' Day hats. It was a fun evening and although I did not feel up to eating, we had a great time and spent a good part of the evening laughing. We needed that! For a week lost to the flu, I did manage a few photographs. One of my best discoveries this week, my bread machine. Even if I do not feel well, the bread machine can make a delicious loaf of bread with very little help from me. That's a good thing.Even though I am very late, I will still link up over at The Mom Creative. If you notice, I am keeping Project Life very simple. I have been printing photos of my children that I have been stealing from their Facebook pages, but I have not figured out the best way to add them in, especially when I have had a full week. Well, it is still a work in progress, and I am still thrilled with the way it holds me accountable for recording our life's story. Afterall, our story is lived out in the everyday and I do not want to lose that!
