Lin doesn’t seem to be feeling like crap today. I, on the other hand, feel like crap. Oh yes, I do. The horrible headache seems to have diminished though, so really the rest of it isn’t so awful. Just achy and having no energy. The perfect excuse to sleep, which I have been doing a lot of since yesterday afternoon. In fact, I went to bed at midnight last night and slept until noon. It was wonderful.

There was a brief break in my many-hours-long sleep session though. Sunday is our watering day, and so I set my alarm for 8 am, wandering around the yard in my sleep (not kidding, I barely remember doing it) setting up and turning on the sprinkler in the garden, went back to sleep for an hour, and then wandered around in my sleep turning off the water. I’m sure the neighbors were all amused by the silly sick-looking woman stumbling around her yard in pajamas, with unbrushed hair, and her eyes barely open. I’m sure I looked quite the sight.

I didn’t get the fall planting done today. I went out there this afternoon, but seeing as just walking out to the garden and pulling a few weeds wore me out, a lot of digging and bending and stretching didn’t sound like a good plan for today. I do have to get to it soon though. Time is flying! This stuff has to get in the ground.

I did get some more knitting done on the shawl. I’m almost done with the third and final repeat of the main pattern motif. I think there’s only one more partial repeat and then the edging, but my mind is too foggy to recall without looking at the pattern. No matter what, I’m certain to be done with it in a few more days, and if I make it the same size as the one in the pattern’s photo, I will have enough yarn left over for a hat and maybe even some fingerless mitts, which would be cool.

The roast turned out awesome last night, and it was just the thing to eat when not feeling all that well. The remains of the roast are currently simmering in the stew pot to which I’ll be adding some more potatoes, rice, and pasta to plump up the meal a little. I am so looking forward to stew and cornbread tonight. It’s going to hit the spot in my none-to-happy tummy.

I hope I’ll be feeling better tomorrow. Lin’s usually one day ahead of me with getting sick and then with getting better. He’s better today, so I’ll be better tomorrow, right? I’ve got too many things to get done to be laying around being forced to be lazy!
