Under the Weather and Over the Moon

Illness has been reigning in our house recently - sinus issues, allergies, colds, the whole lot. It's thrown our routine out the window & we've been more than a little shlumpy lately. Forget exercising and the dishes, let's get take out and just try to survive. Applesauce, chicken noodle soup, saltines, cereal, bananas, and Oreos :) have made an appearance in our little home. And lots of nasal rinses - shout out to the neti pot!

In the midst of one or both of us being sick, I've managed to watch all two seasons of the hit TV show "This is Us." When heard it described "as a show about emotions" and one in which "you'll need Kleenex nearby", I was almost certain I'd be sold. Turns out, it was even better than I anticipated. I enjoyed the characters and the weaving nature of the story line, and yes, the familial bonds and heartwarming monologues. With any period piece, I'm always drawn to the fashions and have been re-inspired by these relaxed bohemian looks sported by Mandy Moore's character.

So while sickness will always be a sour reality, we try to keep our spirits up and still make each other laugh. It always surprises me how Mr. Fleece can be a walking zombie physically but still make me chuckle with his witty ways.
