Well, it's no surprise that I've been increasingly exhausted, drained, and just plain tired lately. Not to mention the horrible cold/sinus infection I've had since last October (no joke...) that just won't go away. People kept telling me it was due to stress; that the feeling I had been physically beaten was a natural way to feel when you're in the midst of a divorce. But I knew something was wrong.
I ended up in the hospital this afternoon and was diagnosed with mononucleosis. I just about died laughing when the doc came in to tell me. I mean, how fitting! I get an illness that requires only one thing to get better: rest. And rest is something I am not so good at. Granted, I have a 2 year old and a job, plus photography sessions booked, a divorce underway, and a million things I want to do for the house. But if I had the ability to just stay home in bed all day, I wouldn't. I couldn't!
But he did tell me that if I didn't get this much needed rest I would just stay sick. So I suppose I'll compromise by going to bed early, extra cuddling time on the couch with the little one and Sasa, and maybe a nap or two if the little one complies.
At least the computer doesn't require a heck of a lot of energy. I've got some fun posts coming up this week, so unless Sasa ties me to the bed in an effort to get me to rest, you'll still be seeing me around!
