Pheebs and Rain and Rest

Saturday morning, when I woke up, I had "that feeling" in my throat. You know the one I mean, right? It's scratchy but not sore, and your voice sounds funny but not bad, and you're mildly achy but not sick? That one.

Ugh.

I refuse to get sick. I'm still mentally recovering from being sick from October-December last year. No more. I said no.

But I think one of the best pieces of medicine is this little cutie patootie right here, and it just so happened that she came over for the whole day!

Ryan had to work, so Pheebs and I alternated resting on the couch with going for long walks. The weather app kept saying rain would be coming, and I hated for her to be all cooped up inside all day, so I took her out for walks often, each time thinking it would probably be the last, and then the rain kept holding off, so we kept enjoying more walks!

Here's a peek into our lazy day:

She's just a gem (unless you ask Braeya) and we love having her. It was a treat! And it was so lovely to just be able to rest with her.

Right about the time Miss Pheebs left, the rain settled in, and it was Ryan's favorite kind of rain: gentle and calming. He was excited to be out in the garage (still) working on the cabinets in the perfect weather.

When I woke up yesterday, I felt some better, but I knew I wasn't out of the woods yet, so after church, we just pulled out Mo and rested the entire day. I took multiple naps and drank a lot of water and coffee, diffused my oils, and took extra vitamins. The rain came in full fury in the afternoon, so I snuggled up under the blanket, with Cupcake Wars on TV and just took it easy.

(And I asked Ryan why the 70ish degrees we enjoyed couldn't have made an appearance the PREVIOUS Saturday when we were running in the freezing rain all over the Notre Dame campus!)

Hope your weekend was filled with much rest as well - despite the weather and the potential germs. :)

Linking up with Tamar!
