On Friday, I was feeling terrible and Simon was also still very sick. Simon took a nap for more than three hours in the morning, and I took one for about two hours. In the afternoon, I still felt like I couldn't move, but he would have little bursts of energy where he would want to roam around. I came up with the perfect solution. I put the four couch cushions on the floor like a giant bed. I laid on them and watched two movies, while Simon would crawl around for a little bit, then crawl back to me to sleep or snuggle. It sucks being sick, but it was a such a decadent way to spend the afternoon that it could only be justified by being really ill.
