Apparently yesterday was 'sink into despair and hit rock bottom' day as far as this cold goes. My temperature was a proper fever last night and I had a rough night's sleep. Tested again this morning and still negative. And my temperature was back to my normal both through the night and in the morning.
Again, being up out of bed made me feel better so I had tea and chocolate and then s2s and ate breakfast. Then back for a 10 minute rest (after taking a pain pill) and off to the bazaar. I managed my 2 hour shift plus a bit. It was mostly quiet while I was there.
Bonus, they forgot to pull out the squares I had made until the end so I took all but 8 home with me. Woot! And they gave me 4 butter tarts too.
Dgs2.75 had a fall at his other grandparents' (thankfully while mom was supervising!) and has a huge bump on his head. He was upset and doesn't nap there so he came to me a few hours early. It was too late to nap here so we played and watched a tv once I was too tired to play. He's been in a good mood except he didn't eat much dinner.
He said "all done" quite clearly after just having some homemade tostitoes, so I let him down over dh's objections (when he uses words I feel like we should follow through on the social contract and acknowledge his wishes.) He played for a little bit while we still eating our dinner, then disappeared out of view and came back with his blankie and tried to drag me to the bedroom to put him to bed. As it was only 5:45, I managed to distract him and he went down for the night at 7:30.
I checked my temperature both after getting home from the church and after getting dgs in bed and it is elevated but just a degree, not a fever or near fever. And I don't feel lethargic, just tired after a long day, poor sleep the night before and the coughing. My aches are also gone.
I got the load of laundry I started at 2 finally hung up to dry. Then I got to work on the repairing the diaper bag. Dgs' dog had chewed through a hand strap about a year ago and I had offered to repair it in February. Then in the past month he nearly chewed through the backpack strap so the repair became critical. Both are fixed now, using a canvas strap that was off something, I have no idea what. But I saved it, and a leather hood off an old coat and they both worked for the repair. Since I had to empty the diaper bag to do the repair, I remembered to take my container of cheerios back. Bonus!
I'm off to bed now. We assume dgs will sleep until at least 6, possibly 7. I hope I can have a good night's sleep and that the cough doesn't bother me too much.
This guy had to do a bit of taping and mudding. He is leaving it to dry for 24 hours, and he will be back tomorrow at some time. The new door and the solid bi-fold doors look lovely, even though the "new-to-us" bi-fold doors haven't been hung yet. There will be new trim around both doors and around the alcove where the washer and dryer live. They stick out too much to put a door on that opening. Now we just have to choose knobs.
