Down and out for the last couple of days.

down and out for the last couple of days.

Oh man, what a week.

What I didn't write in the last blog was on the 31st, I woke up in the middle of the night and thought I was going to get sick. So the rest of the weekend, I didn't have too much of an appetite. Well, Monday, I started getting the sore throat (the first symptom of a sinus infection) and by Wednesday, I was bad. Thursday, I went to the doctor and started the antibiotics. Then it really kicked in. I was lucky to make it around the block with Esa and Thursday night, I did NOT sleep. I was WIDE awake – I was sitting on the couch (because I couldn't lay down without getting stuffed up) and watching TV – which usually puts me to sleep. NOPE. I think I finally fell asleep for maybe an hour around 4 a.m., woke up and fell back to sleep until Esa woke me up around 5:45 a.m. – she had a good night's sleep in the bed by herself!

Friday, I was still wide awake all day – not even a nap. Just really weird for me. Ended up starting to get up and around (like doing laundry and walking Esa around the block twice) – but mostly just watching TV. I FINALLY got a pretty good night's sleep (in bed at that!). I woke up once during the night, but that was it. Saturday was just hanging around the house, still not feeling that great, but went on longer walks with Esa and Dan.

Yesterday was back in the groove. Lunch at Chipotle and then grocery shopping. Today, back at work – coughing, but feeling good.

Unfortunately, I think Esa got a little something – her tummy hasn't been feeling well the last 2 days. It hasn't been fun (for Dan) (trying) to pick up after her.

I wonder if dogs mirror their owners when the owners don't feel good. I know she senses that I didn't feel well. She was so good. She didn't beg to walk longer or play a lot when we were home alone.
