In healthier times (last week lol)
You guys, I have a cold and it has knocked me over! I feel like such a baby, but maybe this is a really bad cold? Like, not the usual low-key chill cold haha? How are you doing these days?
This was my scene last night — a roll of toilet paper, a blanket, a big glass of water, and the Sopranos, which I’ve been watching recently (more on that later, HAVE THOUGHTS).
Vibes.
But the silver lining of being sick, even just a little bit sick, is feeling loved by people around you. My doctor sister called to tell me what medicine to get at the drugstore.
My friend Leah brought over matzo ball soup (“Jewish Penicillin,” she called it), which I ate for dinner before taking my evening pills.
The next day, my friend Rob came by to take the boys for ice cream so I could lie supine.
The guy I’m dating (more on that later, too) sent this cute pic of his dog and a Mates of States song I hadn’t heard in a decade.
It’s so touching, especially as the only adult in the house, to feel a little village when I’m down for the count for a couple days. Again, just a cold! I’m a wuss! But it meant so much to me. xoxo
How are you feeling these days? Anyone else under the weather? Or dealing with something bigger? What would help these days? Sending a big hug to anyone who needs one. xoxo
P.S. Cold season: the board game, and what are your hyper-specific love languages?
