Autumn Leaves...

The Knittels are feeling the weather change- our skin is drying out (big time!), we have to wear jackets, and I, at least, have an ugly head cold. 

I ended up coming home from work early and decided to spend the day in bed to nip whatever this is in the bud so I don't have to miss more work and more school. I called my prof to let her know I wouldn't be in class and felt some shame because she, too, is ill but she's still going to lecture. Even though I felt like a little baby after that phone call, I know I made the right choice for me considering the long-term: I routinely do not get enough sleep, and I'm stressed; I can either sacrifice a day and get over it fast, or I can push through and continue to weaken my immune system and take forever to get over it, costing more missed classes and work than what today will.

Today is a busy day for Stephen with an RCR (like a store audit), a visit from his boss, Doug, and other various events. He was a little concerned last night about how today will go with everything going on at once, and he even went in early this morning. I know he stressed, but I am extremely confident that he'll do well; it is in his character to do so. I really admire his work ethic and his people and administrative skills; he makes management look easy. 

Well, I'm gonna go to bed. Wish me luck in getting over whatever this is.
