I've been popping pills like an addict to stave off the pain and fever basically all weekend. I'm pretty sure this is how I felt when I had strep throat many years ago, but we won't find out for sure until later this afternoon. I feel like at least one of us has been sick at any given time since the end of January. No reprieve for us. Penelope has been hit the hardest, poor girl. Seriously, look at that face. It stinks, but it could always be worse. We are counting our blessings. And then there's Felix. He seemed to be least affected by all the bugs flying around our house. Look at this guy! He's so happy and cuddly, it doesn't matter what's going on (unless Penelope takes away one of his toys). On a more positive note, we got rid of a bunch of old furniture that has been cluttering up our hallway. It's only taken us 3 months to do it. No big deal! Our hallway feels so empty without the headboard and six foot desk propped up against the walls. It's time to put artwork up there instead. I'm planning on taking it relatively easy this week and focusing on hanging art in the hallway and living room. We've got an expansive blank wall above our couch, something needs to be done about it. Stat. We were very pleased to get our new vacuum last week (huge splurge) - it actually works unlike our last one. It's got so many beautifully engineered bells and whistles I've actually enjoyed vacuuming the floors (!!). P has even joined in on the fun, too. We also got the most lovely wool rug from Dash & Albert. I'll show more pictures once this space is complete, but you get the idea. I won it at Alt Summit - I've been eyeing it for months, so I couldn't be more thrilled about our new piece. It definitely makes the living room look more posh.
