It's been crazy busy at work lately. With one girl gone on mat leave, my workload has increased by 25%. It's not unbearable, but it's pretty damn busy.

I came down with the flu on Thursday night, stayed home on Friday. The timing couldn't have been more unfortunate; I had way too many things to do on Friday to get sick.

Only good thing about it is that I was able to catch up on my sleep and relax a little bit. I'm actually wondering if the "flu" could have been stress/anxiety induced. This is the first time I've puked in about 10 years... but I'm sure I've been more stressed than this before.

Next week is looking just as stressful.

Alex is now independantly standing without using anything to help her up, and this week she managed to crawl up onto the couch without help. Nothing's safe anymore!
