I have been missing in action. My house did get cleaned on the weekend, I think, it is hard to judge the effect of the clean come mid-week, but I am sure it was done. Instead of getting back to blogging I was clearly sidetracked, doing what I can’t quite remember.
What I do remember is that the past 2 nights I have been in bed by 7.10pm and asleep by 7.30, before the kids are even asleep. Of course both nights I have been woken by inconsiderate people (or just one person?), slamming doors, running stomping up and down stairs and turning lights on and off. Normally I sleep through anything but fever induced sleep is never restful and I wake easily. By day I have been tired and grumpy with a head cold. By night I have had fevers, sweats and chills, random body aches and generally feeling crapola.
I am feeling marginally better this morning. Fingers crossed I will be back later today and I can play catch up. I feel so out of touch right now. My reader is exploding, I haven’t caught up with my favourites online, I haven’t even had time to check my email all week. All going well I will have the energy to play online tonight.
Relish, my Relish

Glad you’re feeling better. Why is it that when we women are sick, we still soldier on as best we can, making sure the household doesn’t descend into total chaos?
Yet when men are sick, they have MAN FLU and must immediately retire to bed for 3 days, with the possibility they may never make it back.
Aaah, they joy of being a woman!

I have been having many of those days where I don’t even get to open my laptop lately. Not cos I’ve been really sick though. Hope you feel a lot better. My husband is just not a naturally nurturing sort of person. He doesn’t mean to be an arse when I am sick, he’s just missing the part of his brain that enables him to selflessly care for others. I’m sure some men do have it. Somewhere.

Who are these mean loud people and how can I best smack them into submission so that they let you sleep?
I heard your island home moved a bit in the earthquake… did you feel it?
Hope you get some good sleep soon!
