Sometimes I get so busy that I forget that I’m only human and do not have the abilities to tackle every task at hand and try to do everything anyway. And then life reminds me that I’m only human and strikes my over-exhausted body down with sickness.
Last week was one of those weeks. I was so busy, so productive, and so happy. and then BAM! everything shut down. (By ‘everything’ I’m referring to my immune system).
I was fairly certain I was going to die on Friday from the common cold.
Yeah, this could be an example of me being dramatic, but seriously, I had the fever, the chills, the sore throat, the stuffy nose, the cough, you get the idea. I felt disgusting and managed to look even worse. Maybe that’s why the Husband took pity on me and was even nicer to me than usual. This is one of the great perks of being married – I have a wonderful roommate who is willing to cook for me, rub my feet, draw me a bath, etc.
Do I know I’m spoiled? Definitely.
The point is, this weekend was more uneventful than I had hoped, but the Husband took great care of me and I was able to read a fantastic book!
Silver lining people, silver lining.
This book…. I cannot say enough about it. It’s kind of self-help(ish) but pretty much just awesome.Over the weekend I finished The Gifts of Imperfection. No summary of this book (that I could write) would do it justice, but suffice it to say that this book is one of my very-favorites and I think I’ll find it to be quite life changing.
What book is next on my list? I have a whole shelf full of possibilities, filled with recommendations from friends and blog writers and all sorts of other sources.
These are next on my ‘to-read’ list!Don’t worry (were you worried?), I didn’t spend the entire weekend with my nose in a book and devoid of any human interaction. On Sunday my mom came into town and we went to brunch and any weekend that involves a fancy brunch is pretty wonderful.
It wasn’t just an ordinary brunch, either. We went to Longman & Eagle and it was every bit as fantastic as I thought it would be.
Oh brunch, how I love thee!Ah – books, love, brunch, family, wine, a documentary or two… I had quite the successful weekend.
I hope you enjoyed your weekend and are recharged for the week ahead!
