A Snapshot: Wednesday.

17.10

This is what my Wednesday looked like. The photos are largely in black and white, to communicate the depths of my DESPAIR and MELANCHOLY at having a cold. Jason has it too. We’re all feeling so sorry for ourselves right now. To be honest, this is only a representation of the mega whiney miserable part of my Wednesday since the evening was completely awesome, but if you can’t be melodramatic on your own blog then where can you?

First cold of the season means the winter months are well and truly here, doesn’t it? Yesterday required hot water bottles, three layers worn inside the house with the heating up full whack, hot chocolate with extra vanilla and cinnamon, and scrambled eggs for lunch. It would’ve been better to have had tea and toast made by my Mum though. If only her office would take ‘caring for slightly poorly and very pathetic twenty two year old daughter’ as an excuse for not coming in to work.

Also major players in yesterday’s line up? Hummus. Pinterest. Tea. Lemsip. Reading Freya’s blog, and falling in love with Michelle’s photo of Tania & I. Outfit planning (I went to an event in the evening, but more on that later!), PPA (that’s what we call Post Pilates Ache in this house), blueberries, Birdy’s new album, and raspberry apple elderflower juice. Also plenty of reruns of the U.S Office, because Dwight makes me laugh more than any other TV character in the history of television. Also I also made banana bread with browned butter, and found that browned butter does not taste as good as it smells when eaten straight from the pan.

p.s. Ted loved yesterday just as much as he loves every other day that’s ever existed. And that’s a lot. I took him up to the lake, and he had a whale of a time charging around getting soaked both from the rain and from diving into the water. I was grateful that he napped most of the afternoon, though. I actually allowed myself a quick catnap for the first time in forever (it’s too easy to slip into bad habits when you work from home, so napping is on my Rosie Don’t You Ever Dare Do This list!) and oh maaaaan, did it feel good!

    Lovely photos miss. Sorry you’re not feeling so good though – I had my first cold at the beginning of September, meaning my next one will be due, oh, around Christmas day (as always!)
    I’m actually getting a flu jab next week at work to see if that will keep my seasonal illness at bay this year!

    Get better soon! x

    Sick days are rubbish, but at the same time so much fun because you get to do all the stuff you are never allowed to do. Like spend the day in your pajamas!
