I’m back… And hopefully better!

Well, my holiday weekend ended up being a little longer than expected, so my apologies for the absence in posts!

The weekend started off great.  Well, Patrick had to work a ton which is always bittersweet (yay for money, boo for time apart), but it meant that got to have a nice little lunch date at Marie Catrib’s.

 It had been kind of chilly that morning, so we assumed around 1ish it would still be nice.  Oh no, that humidity definitely had crept in.  So my nice, leisurely stroll in a lovely cardigan and jeans ended up with me being one sweating mess.  But oh well, I still had great company!  Plus, Marie’s has fantastic gluten-free bread… the Sweet N’ Sassy Ham on GF Branny Oat?  Yes, please! 

My super foxy date:

And our lovely little tag-a-long who sleeps so nicely so we can have some good chat time. 

So, that was Saturday.  Sunday, another nice day.  We actually woke up in time for church (something we’ve been intending on doing for a few weeks now), and even made it to the early service!  Then we came home and enjoyed one of my favorite meals in the world… pancakes and bacon!  Mine were gluten-free blueberry, of course.  And I sincerely loved every minute of it.  Pair that with some Starbucks Verona, and baby you got a stew going! 

Sadly Patrick had to work that night, but I got to hang out with some friends upstairs, and then get some much-needed organizing done. Whilst organizing, I started to feel a little sore.  Being that I definitely have not been super active, I just thought it must have been from lifting the boxes.

 Unfortunately, I was incorrect.  By the next morning I was 100% sick.  I knew exactly what it was, which was nice that my doctor could get me on medicine right away, but frustrating because I knew what it was because I had just had it 5 weeks ago!  The main symptoms of what I had are basically like having a horrible flu. I could barely lift anything my bodied ached so much.  Besides not enjoying sickness as a whole anyway, I had been planning a photo shoot for quite sometime and absolutely hated that I had to cancel it!  But luckily they understood that it wouldn’t work out if I could hold my camera, so we’ll hopefully be getting that done soon!

So that explains Monday.

And my absence yesterday?  Well, I was feeling better, but my day was quickly taken up by my appointment with the allergist.  It was quite the ordeal, and I had to have the whole tons-of-pokes-on-your-back deal.  And the verdict?  I’m allergic to trees, grass, pollen, cats, dogs, and dust mites.  Yikes!  I seriously did not expect that!  But, I guess it’s better to know, huh?  And today I have to get my blood drawn for food allergies… blech! 

Here’s what I did to keep myself occupied at the office:

All-in-all, not exactly how I had imagined wrapping up my holiday weekend, but, I am so lucky that I had the cutest little babe to cuddle with.   

I hope your weekends were fabulous and that fall is treating you kindly!
