I’m sick, sick, sick. I think it’s a cold/chest/respiratory thing gone wrong, but one can’t be sure. Besides the kidney stones passing, I mean. Because those are more like actual labor pain. In fact, they are more painful than labor.

Today I pretended part of the day I wasn’t sick and did some cooking and 4 loads of laundry. I feel I have to do that because many years ago during one of Julian’s minor colds, I said, “Did you ever think that if you didn’t act so sick, you wouldn’t be so sick?”

I tried that today and you know what? It didn’t work.

I am behind on emails. Terribly behind. So sorry if I owe you one. You know who you are.
