So I am in Manitoba visiting my parents with my daughter. I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time. Getting away can be good for the soul. Unfortunately, I’ve come down with a cold/flu and am feeling totally crappy. At least there is satellite tv to keep me company in my misery. And Barney videos for the little monster. I am just thoroughly annoyed with my body’s poor timing.  And I just realized that I forgot a book at home that I needed to take with me because I needed to read it for my class the day after I get back. I don’t think I’m going to be able to make it through 300 pages in the 24 hours between my arrival home and my class. Stupid placenta brain! I am getting dumber every second!
