Down and Out

So I have this theory that one's body fights off sickness until it has the time to become sick and recover. Of course, this isn't a perfect theory, but I'm convinced there's an element of truth to it. For example, I had a very difficult month. From Feb. 15th through March 14th, I had at least one significant deadline per week. Then, family came into town on March 15th. That was enough motivation for me to continue functioning. As soon as they left, though, I woke up the very next morning with a sore threat, congested sinuses, and an upset stomach. I was sick Thursday, Friday, and much of today, Saturday. I'm only starting to feel better now. Please consult the photo of Kim, who is just coming down with the cold, to get a sense of how I've felt the last couple days. You'll note that in the first picture, she's asleep while sitting upright on the couch. She also has three pillows in her arms. In the second picture, she's up to four pillows, and is smiling for some unbeknown reason (probably because we simply feel we're supposed to smile when someone points a camera at us). Anyways, I hope she'll start to feel better by early next week, but will keep you posted either way.
