On The Mend – A Bit

It was a huge relief only having Anna at home last night, and this morning, while Bjarki hung out with his grandparents.

Bjarki is a darling and all, but he’s like this crazy ball of energy, that sometimes oscillates in moods at the drop of a hat, and requires a lot of attention.  Anna on the other hand can still do the crazy, but she’s more sensible and easier to manage.  For example, she’ll listen when I say “I do not have the brain capacity to have this discussion, let’s do it later, please.”  Bjarki, not so much.

Yes, so this Friday lunch time I’m doing a bit better than yesterday.  My left ear is still blocked 90% of the time, and the right ear fills up the remaining 10%.  The sore throat spread from left to right this past night, but the pain seems to be receding.  Or at least I hope so.  I did cave in and take a painkiller around 2 am last night when I woke up with both ears blocked and crackling and my throat all unhappy.  It seemed to help because I got a solid 4 hours of sleep after that.

I think I’ll be spending the day in bed though (much like yesterday) even though it’s boring as heck.  That should give me enough reserves to tackle both kids tonight and tomorrow morning, before shipping them both off to a long-since-planned sleepover with their grandparents.
