I am *still* in the sick room. This is day five. Nicole did let me come out for a little while last night to have dinner and some ice cream. I had to sit waaaaay on the other side of the couch, but it was worth it. Even an introvert can get painfully lonely. I think she saw my emotional state was fracturing because every time she visited - even just for a moment - I cried when she left. Like, boo-hoo-ed.

I also had to go back to urgent care yesterday because night before last my eyes started acting like they had pink eye. The flu and and pink eye? Could I please please catch something less communicable?! Turns out it is just conjunctivitis related to my new sinus infection. Wtf? Apparently, when the body is down, all the bugs come in to play. Now I'm on a bevy of antibiotics in addition to what I was taking for the flu.

Having said that, Nicole said she feels safe enough to let me come out this afternoon and see the kids after their nap. I am pretty excited. And I know she is too. Each day I've noticed a little more wear on her face each day as she's kept the army moving entirely on her own for several days. She says she's fine, and I know she is, but she's exhausted and trying to power through.

Okay, 2013, let's have a year of health, shall we?
