12.4 - 12.5.09

Friday ended up being a rest day - I woke up with a bad cold and decided I had better take care of myself. Of course, I never did get to just curl up on the sofa and do absolutely nothing. I *did* get to visit with a friend for 2 hours over a cup of herb tea and that was very relaxing.

Saturday - 10 minutes elliptical, 1 hr 15 min Boot Camp Class. The class was really small - even though many had signed up, it appeared that the cold had gotten them, too.

I'm typing this on Sunday morning -home sick. The cold hit HARD. Maybe even the flu, who knows. One of my daughters had a fever most of the week, the other spent yesterday evening puking. Everyone is coughing and sniffling today.
