Love having Mollie, hate having this cold

It’s Mother’s Day and I'm lucky enough to have Mollie here with me.  We’ll see Nick’s Mom and Dad after church for lunch – but don’t worry, we aren’t making her cook.  She hasn’t been feeling great lately.  Last Sunday we showed up at their place to see a ladder placed against the side of the house where my FIL had been up cleaning out the gutters.  No problem, I mean he won’t be 92 until next month!  He has three sons and a grandson who are usually there at least once a week and who would have been happy to do it – but what are you going to do?  Thank goodness he managed to get back down in one piece.

Nick gave me what I asked for, for mother’s day.  I asked for no weigh in this week – I’m doing terrible!  I’ve been overeating and then coming home with NO energy or desire to exercise at all. Of course he told me I’d have to show progress from last week or I’d be paying double this coming week.  Scary thought especially with Mollie home for the week, she cooks and we’ll want to take her out some too.

Then there’s this cold.  This is the worst cold I’ve had in years. My head, ears and chest are all involved.  I know doctors can’t cure a cold I may go next week if I’m not feeling any better.  I’ll be testing at school soon and I have to be able to stand up and walk around and right now I’m not sure I can even manage that. If I’m not commenting or writing as much it’s because I’m trying to use my energy on getting well.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Mother’s day.
