Vitamin C

Did you know that strawberries (8 of em) have more vitamin C than one medium orange?

The fun-filled weekend left both Nick and I rather tired on Monday after the flight took off, sending Derrek & Louie back to NE.  (Coincidentally, an hour after they took off, the rain started too.)  Yesterday, my general feeling of being tired took a turn for the worse, and I’ve got one crazy sore throat/pain swallowing/head cold thing going on now – to the point where I sent Nick out for sore throat stuff last night, and woke up in the middle of the night with it.  Eigh.  Add that to the low grade fevor that my body is spouting and you can bet that the only thing I want to do to day is stay in bed.  Lack of extra vacation time has brought me into work to try to be here as long as I can – or maybe, it’s a want to use my extra vacation time for something fun rather than sleeping.  I am hoping that I feel better by tomorrow afternoon so that I don’t have to go to the MD.

The countdown is on till I’m back in bed.  T-8 hours to go.  Time to go finish those strawberries, and grab some hot tea to boot.

Random thoughts for this Tuesday

-  It feels like a Monday today.  I woke up to find that we had no hot water.  After being lazy yesterday after the 10 hour drive back from Vermont, I was in desperate need of a shower and into the cold water I went.  BRRRR!

(I did enjoy talking to Nick this morning before I went to work.  Things were looking up.  And then…)

-People can’t drive.  Seriously – it felt like half the people on the road this morning should have had big “STUDENT DRIVER” stickers on the back of their cars.  It made my drive to work feel like a very frustrating video game that I just couldn’t win.  Ugggghhhh.

(On a good note, my laptop power cord WAS at work, so I didn’t lose it!  yay!)

-I forgot to put my watch on today.  I keep looking at my naked wrist and wondering what time it is.

So it appears, all in all, that I have a case of the Tuesdays.  It’s not (?) supposed to rain today, so I’m hoping that is a good sign of things to come….

After a great weekend….

…. I’m glad that I don’t feel like I need this today!

A thought for this Friday….

Spring

Spring can get messy. When we lived in Vermont, we didn’t call it spring, we called it the mud season. I remember being in my teens, and having it snow on my birthday in early May in Rochester. But somehow, around DC, spring moves fast and makes you notice that it’s here – with the rain storms, the quick blooming flowering trees, and different wildlife. Or maybe it’s just that this year, with the dog, we’re outside more to notice it. Brought the camera with us on our afternoon walk on Thursday of this week….thought I may be too late to catch mama goose with her eggs as some of the others had hatched, but nope, she defended that nest as much as she always has. All of the turtles (and yikes, the snake) make afternoons fun.

A Monday Laugh

Connor!

LOVING the warmer weather this week! Thursday after work, spur of the moment, we packed up a small picnic and met Emily, Joe, and Connor at Wheation Regional Park! Connor the puppy is such a sweetheart – he and Pinot seemed to get along well – though their play appeared to Emily and I as a bit rough at times, they were both wagging their tales the entire time and Nick and Joe thought nothing of it.

I wish I had brought the camera to get some pictures, but since I forgot, I figured I could at least get a picture of Connor up!
