My coworker, Ryan, sent this too me... pretty funny.

Olympics

I woke up today without feeling like I was running on empty. It was quite nice, but I made sure I didn't over do it today. Just made a run to the grocery store and took in some more Olympics. I am amazed by the people that do the moguls... watching it just makes my knees ache.

Because of the downhill competitions being postponed, I actually watched the biathlon and nordic combined competitions. They were pretty neat to watch, although I could have done without the snot running down their faces. Some guys were just as bad as Hooch from the movie Turner and Hooch... ewwwwww.

Saturday

Yet another day of not feeling well. I woke up and finished watching the Olympic opening ceremonies, which I should have watched with the Iadipaolo's, but didn't want to spread my germs. Plus, I went to bed sometime between 9 and 9:30... okay, maybe not actually went to bed, more like fell asleep.

I thought I was up to going to Sofia's birthday party, but I was wrong. I did get to drop off her present, and hopefully didn't spread any germs in doing so. Nothing sounds good for dinner, so I think I may just have cereal or something. I must have a cold because isn't the the saying "starve a cold, feed a fever"?

Anyway, here's footage of tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum. Sorry about the raspy voice, although I do sound better than first thing in the morning.

Silver Lining on a Cloudy Day

A not so fun cold bug sunk it's teeth into me yesterday and I couldn't shake it. This morning I woke up with an awful headache, sore throat, and just plain old tiredness. Not wanting to spread germs, I opted to stay home from work. I've been pushing fluids and taking it easy. Nap time is coming up soon, but I had to post something that made my day.

According to Homer, the Chiefs mascot... my big brothers, Tom and Jim, and my parents were have been thinking of me. I'm kind of glad Homer didn't find the doorbell and kindly left the Happy Valentine's flowers and card on the porch for me. I was not up for the photo op today.

I don't know who the mastermind behind it all was... all I know is that it was perfect timing and I am truly touched.

This means so much to me because I've had a rough couple of weeks with my anxiety flaring up. I went back to the doctor last week when I felt myself sinking, but am hopefully back on the road to being myself. I need to give it time and remember that I have one of the best support systems anyone could ask for.

Thank you!
I would give you all hugs, if I didn't have cooties right now!

Question
I mentioned this to a couple of my coworkers the other day. If there was a roly-poly (pill bug) sitting on the edge of table... and I sneezed right next to it, sending it a rollin'... do you think I would have helped it set a land speed record for insects?
