I'm starting the new year out sick. I'm supposed to go back to work today, but that's not happening. I have a fever of 102.6 and my whole body hurts. Especially my head. I couldn't even sleep last night. Evan is sick too. He's happy about that though, because it means he doesn't have to go back to school yet haha. But yeah...I'm sick and it sucks. It seems like everyone has been getting sick lately. Even though I feel like shit, I'm ok with it right now because I really don't feel like going to work today anyway. For one thing, I'm insanely tired. But also, it's 11 degrees outside right now, so I have absolutely no desire to step foot outside. Fuck that.

 

New Year's Eve was fun. New Year's Day was not. Jenny was fine the past couple days and especially on NYE, but yesterday she kinda broke down again. I felt really bad for her. She was kinda hard to get along with yesterday, too. I know it was just because she was upset and feeling depressed, but yeah...she was definitely taking her mood out on me. She wasn't being mean or anything...just kind of bitchy. I let it slide though, given the reason behind the moodiness. I hope she won't act that way again today because I don't feel up to dealing with it. I wish there was something I could do to make everything better. I've been feeling pretty up and down since it happened, but it has been so hard on Jenny. I wonder how long it will take for this whole thing to stop having such an effect on her. Well, on both of us...but especially her. I just hope it will be sooner rather than later. Overall I think we're both doing pretty well though.

 

All Evan ever seems to want to watch when he's sick is Spongebob Squarepants. I'm going to try to go back to bed now...partially because I'm tired as hell, and partially because I don't feel like watching that show. It's my cue to leave. I don't hate that show or anything. Spongebob's voice and laugh are just one of the last things I want to hear while I have a splitting headache. So back to bed it is. I'll definitely catch up with you guys later since I'm not going to work today. I seriously need to sleep for a while first though. Bad.

Man, I am so fucking sick too. My brain feels like it's coming out my ears every time I cough. Couldn't sleep last night for that damned headache, omg. I had a fever too but it seems to have gone away for the time being.
It must be so tough to be ill around your kids. I just want to sleep and not talk to anyone when I'm sick (which I can do right now, thank god) but having to juggle children, partners, and work while feeling like you're dying must totally blow.
I can relate to Jenny sometimes. I tore Potter's head off the last few days and I feel really bad about it. I am sure she feels shitty too, and I think it's admirable that you are empathetic to her feelings. The holidays must've been tough for you guys but hey, there's a new year ahead and all that stuff...
Get better! I'm going to chug some Neocitran and sleep more...

It sounds like we have the same thing. The cough sucks so bad. I seriously want to smash my head in with a hammer though. You're lucky your fever went away. I hope mine will soon, but I think it's going to stick around for at least the rest of the day. Who knows. That sucks that you're sick too. I hope you get better soon! I had to look up Neocitran because I had no idea what it was. Apparently it's the same thing as Theraflu? I have never actually tried that stuff. At least I don't think I have. Does it work well? Because if so, it's probably worth a trip to the store, even though I don't feel like moving.

Yeah, having to take care of kids when you're sick kinda sucks. At least I have Jenny to help with that. It's sad when kids are sick, but in a way it's kind of nice having Evan home sick with me, because misery loves company haha. I'm really fucking glad Ella isn't sick too though, because that would be a huge pain in the ass. Huge.

Sometimes stuff like that happens. I'm sure Potter didn't take it too seriously, especially since you're sick. Biting your partner's head off is kind of part of the whole relationship thing sometimes haha. The holidays were tough, but still good. I'm excited about the new year though. I think this year will be much better than last year was.

Thanks! You get better too!
