Sick.

Oooooo-eeeeee.  Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I have spent the last few days feeling like death warmed over.  I definitely haven't been this sick in years, and am just now feeling human again.  It wasn't the flu - just a really bad respiratory cold thing, but I've had periods of such horrible coughing that I WISH I was throwing up instead.  Thankfully, I seem to be coming around and I'm sure Andy is disappointed that my voice is back.  In all honesty, though, he did a great job of taking care of me while I was incapacitated, and so did the animals.

On Monday, Ripley decided I might feel better if he slept on top of me all day.

Then Fro got the memo:

Ripley really enjoys sleeping with his head in her butt.

Obviously taking pictures of the animals with my phone was all I had the strength to do while I was dying on the couch.

In non-illness related news, we're settling into the house nicely.  We have made it through most of the boxes and are more in the "putting away/organizing" phase rather than the unpacking phase.  Does anyone need 453,000 boxes?  Feel free to come and get them all out of our shed, it's not locked.

Fro has discovered the fireplace:

Zeus decided that the dining room table is a good place to roll:

If anyone comes to our house for dinner we promise to try to remember to change the tablecloth.

Ripley has a favorite spot, too:

I'm pretty sure that Ripley sits on the couch all day just looking out the front windows.  Usually he barks at children playing in the cul-de-sac (a nice way to make friends with the neighbors, huh?) or just watches the world go by.  There weren't any front-facing windows that he could look out of at the rental house, so he's been missing this view for the last year.  He's a happy pup now.  

In other exciting news, it seems like spring is creeping in.  We've had a lot of sunny days with the snow melting and over the weekend it got up to almost 50 degrees!  ....and then on Sunday it snowed 6 inches without warning.  As much as I love the snow, I'm ready for it to be spring again, especially now that we're at about 12 hours of daylight.  Thankfully it's already melting again.  

Okay, I think it's about time for me to take a bunch of nyquil and pass out before 8pm so I can make it through another day of work tomorrow.  I can't wait until I'm feeling normal again!
