Recovery

I am feeling a lot better now than I did this morning. I could say that my mood improvement is thanks to the strangely spring-like weather, or the fact that I took a big fat nap, but really I know the real reason: JBL is working from home today, and helped me through a Rough Patch this morning, and for that I am eternally grateful.

Man, it sounds lame that I can write about being at home, taking a nap, and having my husband home too to lean on. What exactly is it that I do around here? Well, I did some laundry, thanks. And I had exactly two business calls this afternoon. Hmmm, still sounds lame.

But we are in recovery from, among other things, J's first (and hopefully last for some time) UTI. It hit Saturday night at bedtime, and although I know we are fortunate that pain was the only real symptom (I understand there are worse cases, like fever and a more severe infection that leads to ORGAN DAMAGE), but at 2 a.m. when she was crying but unable to unclench enough to pee, things were looking rather bleak. Cajoling, back rubbing, and a (an?) Hannah Montana (thank you K and the Dollar Tree) ring/lollipop finally helped nature take its course. Several successful and pain-free bathroom visits occurred over the remainder of the weekend, and I think we are on the mend.

So now with my sunny disposition I will update a few process flows before heading to the bus stop. I would say hopefully the rest of the week will be even better, but I don't want to jinx myself. The throw-up virus is still going around, after all...
