Bah Humbug

Me making fondue on Christmas Eve–and no I don’t eat Wonderbread–but it is the only kind of toast the  children will eat!  And the steamed vegetables for the fondue on our new gold table cloth that  Robert (Peter’s friend) just brought us back from China.
My two oldest girls are in Nelson at Auntie T’s. Pippi is playing with Artemis and the two-some will have a sleepover tonight at Miranda’s when she returns from yoga.
I am still fighting that odd bug. Nausea, stomach pain and fever. I am not bedridden today but still feel yuck as the nausea and cramp come and go all day. I had a wonderful break later this afternoon from it all only to have it return now. Boo-hoo.
If I perk-up, perhaps Peter and I will go out this evening while Pip is at Aunties. Unfortunately the movie I want to see doesn’t start until 9:20 and I have no appetite. Normally I could handle the late show but tonight may be a stretch.
Because of this unusual bug I have been quite boring over the holidays–a homebody.
Perhaps if I spent one day in bed I’d get better all at once. That might be too boring and depressing and may make things worse. Those hours at the hospital were horrible enough—I hate being in hospitals, I always feel panicked.
My girls are having the time of their lives though, hanging out in Nelson and Pip and Artemis getting spoiled at home. Peter is catching up on work and relaxing a bit.
