December 20th

Ugh. Really sick again. I tried to get out of bed to have breakfast with the kids but only lasted about 20 minutes. I told the kids they could have a free day but no screen time.

Krish left for a birthday party about 11am. That helped with the noise level.

My goal was to work on the Christmas cards today but I just couldn't do it. There were some packages that I had printed off postage for last night and needed to go out today. So I dragged myself out of bed and had Miranda come with me to the Post Office. She took the packages in for me.

I was scheduled for a chiropractor appt. at 2:30pm. I called and told him I was sick but he said to come in because sometimes an adjustment can help with the fever and raise white blood cell counts to help fight off the infection. So I went. He adjusted my neck and stretched out my back. Then I got to sit in the massage chair for 20 minutes. And just about fell asleep.

Then I came back home and went back to bed. Lina and Bird made a little stand next to my bed with a photo, sweet note, water, and an orange. They are the best kids!

I pretty much slept the rest of the day. Brad came home about 5pm and he took the kids over to the Mather's to watch the Poinsettia Bowl game. Miranda had left a little earlier to go see The Hobbit with some friends. While they were all gone, I rested. I started feeling a little better (maybe from the adjustment?), and did two loads of laundry, printed out some photos, and return address labels for the Christmas cards. Then I sat on the couch and watch the football game until Brad and the kids got home.

We got the kids to bed and then went to bed.
