Fell

Tuesday, November 8, 2011

Fall has been so beautiful in Tennessee this year. The days are warm and its getting cool enough in the evenings to enjoy a cup of hot tea. I have actually had to turn on the heat, though just when people come over and I notice them starting to shiver. Its been a much cheaper and yet very comfortable past two months without running the heat/air.

These pictures of Andrew rock climbing are funny to me because he looks like grandpa. Its the shirt I think, and those skinny legs.

The night after this gorgeous rock climbing day with my brother, I fell ill with a terrible stomach bug. Emily openly scoffed when I told her I was never (ever, ever, ever) eating candy again but its been almost a full day and I am still standing firm (er, mostly laying on the couch). Granted, I haven't gotten much down besides rice, saltines and watered down powerade but I do aim for temperance. Nothing like a good night of vomiting and a day of feverish agony in bed to repel you from the evil that is staying up late and any food that isn't immune boosting.

Things are better now. I was able to wash the rats nest that was my hair and I am getting some laundry done...but I think the fever did something to my brain because I'm pretty sure I forgot to put soap in. How much does that matter? Probably only matters if there are vomit germs involved. Oh well.
