Today the cold seems to be retreating, not without some final rallying cries. After nearly 10 hours of sleep last night, a bottle of nyquill (not all in one night, but over the stretch of the cold), numerous cups of honey and hotwater, and my dear husband following me around the house with my tissue box, I have high hopes I'll be cough-and-snot free in the near future.
Today was a hallmark day in the Jerdan household. Jon's Marseilles scarf came in!
For those who do not know, Jon's favorite soccer team is Marseilles, one of his France hometowns. For those of us who are thoroughly american, one might think "You can have a favorite soccer team, outside of your high school?" Oh yes, over in Europe, it is akin to having a favorite football, baseketball or any major team here. So, it's kinda big deal.
I ordered this scarf on December 14th, thinking it would be in here time for Christmas. Alas, the poor man only received a picture of it in his stocking, but was still remarkably excited regardless! We've been heading to the post-box with much anticipation since then, and our hopes continued to build with each passing day. The past few days have been particularly disappointing, and when Jon went to get the mail today, my hope for the arrival of the scarf had turned into wishful thinking.
But behold! It is here! Jon with the scarf on, all professionally proud in his office:
Here his inner child is ablaze:
Indeed, he is very excited, and our Christmas joy is almost complete! Today his parents are coming in for a visit, and that shall be very nice as well.
So we are waiting for them to come, the house is clean, and I'm finding myself with remarkably little to do! (well, that won't create a mess of some kind). Yay for relaxing....
Glad to hear you are getting better! I started doing a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water which seemed to work really well...but doesn't taste that great!
ReplyDeleteI'm always encouraged by your posts and excited that you'll have one everyday!
