Nope. Not even close. Why am I wishing the day away? Because my head is congested, I feel like a booger bomb about to go off. Breastfeeding and being sick as a dawg do not mix. Panadol has been my sometime friend, but really, I'd like something harder than a glass of water and a box of tissues.
The Doctor hasn't even self-medicated. He's suffering too.
As for Tiny, she's so congested she sounds like she's purring when she's breathing. The vaporiser is her sleepy-time friend. And boy oh boy, she hates it when I wipe her nose. Even when I sneak up on her, all stealth like and SURPRISE MUMMY'S WIPING YOUR NOSE BABY! Nope. Not a big fan.
Last night I finally set to starting some Christmas presents. I was pleasantly surprised I got through more than I thought. What do you think? Do you think the colour variants work? I was a little unsure at first, but now I kind of like it. And I think I'm going to block in some petals. I've been looking for inspiration online, but haven't seen any roses that were great examples, so I guess I'm just winging it - and fingers crossed it looks ok - otherwise the receiver might be a little crest-fallen. Any thoughts? Advice? I can't figure out satin stitch. I've tried, it just doesn't look that good. So I've dumped it in favour of something more 'rustic'. More 'homely'. I'm ok with imperfection.
I picked up the softest of ballet pinks today, so tonight I'll set to filling in. It's kind of like grown-up colouring in, I think so anyway. Maybe I should be sick more often, I seem to get more stitching done.
Thank goodness it's past sicks pm. Now I can get on with my stitching.
