After having a "less than fun" day with students on Friday (was it a full moon or something?), I came home and decided that I needed a Brothers & Sisters nap before I did anything else. Then I threw a temper tantrum while I was on the phone with Matt because the wiimote batteries were dead and I had to get out of bed to go get more. I proceeded to growl breathe on the phone with Matt for a few minutes until he wisely said something along the lines of, "Oh man, I'll see you when I get home. I'm going into a dead zone." Fortunately for him, I was asleep by the time he got home (like 15 minutes later).
But then when I woke up four hours later, I realized that I'd caught the cold that he'd spent the whole week fighting, and then I was super pissed. So I went to Target to pick up my cure for a cold, a bottle of Simply Grapefruit juice (this cure is 90% placebo effect and 10% vitamin C, but it works pretty well) and some fancy cough drops (I am a cough drop addict, as is my dog).
Then I wasted my Saturday away taking approximately 12 more Brothers & Sisters naps, drinking another entire Simply Grapefruit juice, making some tasty chicken noodle soup, and pouting because my cold cure had failed. This morning I finally changed out of the clothes I was wearing on Friday. I haven't taken a shower in seven weeks.
Suckfest.
The good news, though, is that I had a freezer full of popsicles, and I found a water bottle at Target that is basically just a sippy cup for grown-ups that I could prop up against a pillow so that I could just roll over slightly to enjoy some nice, cold water. And the weather was out of control perfection, so I had all of the windows open and enjoyed the nice breeze. And tonight I got super inspired and attempted to make some mini pumpkin cakes. They're delicious, but I definitely didn't have the right pans, so they look kind of like hobo cakes. Oh well. I'd rather have delicious ugly food than disgusting beautiful food. Right? Right?
Here's to a new week, getting rid of this stupid cold, and more open window days.

Brothers & Sisters nap #9.
If Simply Grapefruit doesn't work, maybe Ben & Jerry's will?
New laundry baskets make me happy. Also, I am old.
Mitch loves the smells of fall.
Totes super glued my fingers together.
It's all very Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Well, shoot.
