lovely spring day

What a lovely early spring day this is! I have the windows open and am airing out the house. Yeah, our house could usually use a cleaning, but it is not pigsty smelly or anything - it is just that after being shut up for months, the fresh air is very welcome.

Bill and I are both lying around today, feeling miserable. His sinuses and nose are running like crazy, and mine are stopped up, giving me a bad headache. This is day four for me of a low grade fever. Dan and Steven are in Lansing for wrestling, but Dan swears he will be home in plenty of time to go to the concert tonight.

While part of me really wants to go to the concert, another part of me is really unsure if I am up to attending. I really am feeling icky today. I am even having trouble reading.
