This week kind of knocked us\u2014me<\/em>\u2014sideways. Nothing catastrophic happened, it was just one of those hard weeks physically and emotionally. James, sweet, happy guy that he is, came down with a fever and a nasty cold, which Daniel and I both caught, but our comfort is so secondary to me that I almost forget that my ears are blocked and I can\u2019t breathe through my nose. I wish I could take all the sickness on myself, I do, because it\u2019s hard seeing my baby so uncomfortable, coughing, nose dripping down his chin, trying to sleep only to wake himself because he can\u2019t breathe. And beyond the challenge of the colds (or I guess, to add to it), I was a wreck with anxiety every day this week. I don\u2019t experience anxiety often, thankfully, and the feeling is starting to dissipate now, also very thankfully, but from Sunday night straight on through, you would have been hard-pressed to convince my mind I wasn\u2019t in a high speed chase. I couldn\u2019t sleep. I couldn\u2019t think. The only relief was physically being with James and Daniel\u2014just looking at either of them, hugging them, smelling them (this is spiraling). Any moment alone, I felt this buzzing panic and dread swarming all around me. Because of this, I don\u2019t really have any great finds for you this week. I\u2019m sorry. It\u2019s hard to complain about a spell of anxiety or coming down with colds (what’s the difference between a cold and the flu again?) when I\u2019m certain there\u2019s someone reading this right now who\u2019s going through actual hell. And there were good things that happened, too! My mom turned 63 on Saturday! James went to White’s Bakery for the first time! My best friend is going to have a baby any day now! See it’s already getting better over here. Let\u2019s have a good week this week if we can, ok? OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
