In one day I suddenly came to appreciate two things in life that you really only come to appreciate once they're gone. First it was the electricity. It only went out for a little over an hour but it was just enough to send a chill throughout the house with the single-digit temperature outside.
The second was my health. It seems I had a delayed response to the stomach virus my whole family caught right around Thanksgiving. Apparently getting a delayed version of that virus means you get it twice as bad. I'll spare you the details but let's just say I'm thankful for my husband on days like that. He was able to take the day off yesterday so that I could camp out in bed. I feel like I finally have some energy back today. I'm sad that my appetite isn't back yet though because we are going out for a special Italian dinner tonight for Brian's upcoming birthday. I guess as a payback I can be Brian's designated driver tonight.
