Lost and Found

I lost last week, in an unplanned and unwelcome "vacation" from:

• My day role as a literacy specialist
• My night position as a grad school professor
• My family's expectation of main dinner chef
• My home's expectation that I will run the vacuum and dishwasher
• My mom's expectation that I will stop by to care for her daily
• My aunt's expectation that I will stop by to encourage and share smiles
• My normal early morning computer blogging time
• My life in a vertical position

I found last week, as I was lay on the couch:

• What Not To Wear, Rachel Ray, and Dr. Oz get old quickly
• It hurts a lot when you cough and you have pneumonia
• Airborne, Robitussin, Mucinex, and NyQuil are not always enough
• A microwave reheatable pad is something everyone should own
• I miss my students, blogging, and even my treadmill
• I value people around me and my busy life
• Good people step in when one of their own is down for the count
• My normal life is a pretty wonderful thing and I can't wait to get back!
