Having to slow down

Lizzy and I have been home sick with pink eye and a cold! I have been diagnosed with a chronic pink eye that I've had on and off for 2 or 3 months. Lizzy seems to have just had a cold with a little pink eye but she is fine now. It's not easy being sick but you just have to embrace it and slow down. I'd much rather be doing fun stuff with Lizzy or working at my new job but I have to slow down, rest, and be patient with Lizzy while we both try to get better. Thankfully tomorrow Lizzy will go back to school and I to work. Self care has become much more important to me now.
