I got the crud that was going around work a week ago. Yesterday I started with a cough and today was all chest congestion. I answered work emails at home for a little bit in the morning and then went back to bed. Only Cooper wasn’t cooperating. First he opened the bathroom door, which brought in the light. So I got up and shut it. Then he brought in a squeaky toy, followed by opening the drapes at the door, letting in the light again. When I finally got him to relax in bed, he draped himself completely across my legs. Good thing Barley got himself settled early so only one pup was a pain in the butt.

I slept maybe an hour, hour and a half. But it helped for a time. So did Mucinex. But I remained tired all day. I’m thankful that I didn’t have anything at work to worry about, that Patrick made me homemade soup, and that I was able to lounge with the pups all day.
