After all my emotional upheaval from last week’s Easter flu, I finally feel like I’m on the upward slope. Or downward. Whichever is better. I’m feeling better. My head has started to clear and I can finally put thoughts together without getting a migraine. So, it was a rough one, big deal, right? Moving on…

I met my best friend, Sara, for coffee over the weekend–only I got tea which is most unusual for me–and we sat at Panera, me with a toilet paper roll because I am ghetto fabulous when it comes to a stuffy nose and her with her piping hot coffee, and talked about how we should make a paper chain to count down until the pool opens again.

 For now, the sight of blue skies and blooming trees is going to have to hold me over.
