In and out

 I have most certainly been in the past several days.  In the house, in my chair, in my slippers--I seriously love my slippers.  They are wool Allbirds and I could do a commercial.

I digress.

Adam is a believer in getting out.  When someone isn't feeling well around here, I suggest they drink more water.  Adam suggests they get out.

We went on a drive yesterday  We went through the car wash and the smell made me a little nauseous.  Adam offered to crack the window.

Ha ha.

He went to Walmart and I sat in the car in the sunshine and called my parents.  It was kind of nice to get out.

Then I was in.  I read, I worked on Family History (I'm completely stuck and the family I am working on has the surname Stuck so maybe I should move to a different family) and I did a little cross-stitch.  I wish I could more evenly distribute my busy days and my sitting around feeling sick days.  It is hard to feel too sick to want to do anything very productive for days on end.

In the late afternoon, I was snoozing in my chair and Adam said, "When you're a little more awake, let's go out."

We recruited Mark to go with us and we went for a drive in Vineyard, just looking at neighborhoods and listening to the music Mark played.  Going for a drive to look at neighborhoods is a foreign thing to me, but it's natural to Adam.  His curiosity has no bounds.

I was telling Mark that when he gets married, I'll have Miriam and Nate cater his wedding with their amazing BBQ and then Mark started talking about the wedding venue his friends had their wedding at so then Adam said, "Let's go there for ice cream."

There was no way they had ice cream there and I told Adam that.

He said, "Hey, I know stuff.  There is ice cream there."

He does know stuff.  They have an ice cream shop there, but it was closed for the season.  So we went back home, but I think that getting out did help me.  I was feeling less sick.  After dinner we played Monopoly Deal, then Adam and I watched Maigret, which is a new Masterpiece Mystery we are enjoying.

I am glad to still be home today.  The stairs still exhaust me.  Walking up the stairs is kind of my test to see how my energy is faring.  I am going to go in to the doctor to get some IV today.  I will be getting out.

Exactly what Adam would recommend.
