Sean caught the flu last week and was in such bad shape that he actually called in sick and cancelled his classes, which he never does.  He just started getting better this weekend, but guess who picked up the bug and has been feeling fatigued and trying to treat a sore throat all day?

I’m especially annoyed to be getting sick now, because I’m on a four-day weekend and I was really hoping to enjoy it. Then again, my idea of enjoying a day off is to sit around and knit or crochet, and that’s pretty much all I’m able to do right now.

I was crocheting this garnet afghan, but having it on my lap was making me feel too warm, so I switched over to a sock that I started last month.  I was able to turn the heel and start the ribbing for the leg.  Sean suggested that we go down to the beach so that I could take some nice photos for the blog, but I didn’t think I had it in me to walk those two miles.

So in the meantime, here is a photo that I was able to take by walking just a few steps outside to the deck.
