My favorite weekend

It’s been a rough week - I came down with yet another bug, which on its face didn’t seem that much worse than any of the other 10 bugs I’ve gotten this year, but for some reason it just really wiped me out. Stress, maybe? I usually go to work unless I have the worst of the worst migraines, and even then I’ll try to get through most of the day before going home early. This week, though, I didn’t come in on Monday til almost noon and left work on Tuesday at 10. On Tuesday I was not only sick but completely exhausted - I’ve been really tired before but not exhausted like this. I was falling asleep on the 7-minute drive home and came home and passed out in bed for several hours. I woke up feeling a ton better, which made me think it was the exhaustion that was making things so bad.

Today I felt a lot better, got more sleep last night and was less congested. I ducked out for a bit so I could go to Thanksgiving lunch in Isak’s classroom, and then had a crazy busy afternoon. By the time I got to the Commissary, they were out of potatoes (again), which means we have to make an extra trip off base for potatoes - that is, if the Americans haven’t bought them all out already.

The most exciting happening of the day is that we got pictures of B’s new nephew! Oh my goodness, what a beautiful baby!

And to answer the question of details, the only information I can give is that he is a he and that he weighed 14 marks…that’s all I know, which doesn’t mean much to me. I don’t know what the weighs in pounds, or how long he is, and we won’t know the name until he’s christened, which is anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months from now! All I know is that he’s gorgeous, and that we live much, much too far from Iceland right now.
