Ohh, Friday I'm in love!

I gotta admit these lyrics fit my last seven days, like a glove:

Monday, you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday - watch the walls instead
It's Friday, I'm in love

Someone made it a point to stay in bed with me. 

And watch the walls too...

Here he holds a treasured sock that belongs to daddy. Made it his own!

If there ever was a too-cute face, I tell ya'...

Outside the world shone on and bloomed.

Bumble bees busy, doing their job. One night a bumble bee decided to share bed with me, which rendered us both totally terrified, when I saw it crawling about in the dark and I screamed....!!

Sweet mother nature.

My work week consists of Thursday and Friday, this week. I'm not even gonna try to squeeze five work days in, during that time but rather do what I can and that's it. Someone advised me to ease in and that's exactly what I'm going to do!

Great to be able to get a renewed chance at weekend, so soon. It can only get better than the last one. So what meteorologists say there's a chance of snow? I'll celebrate spring no matter what! I'll have a huge cup of coffee with hubs and I'll hug hug hug The Boy! (I didn't want to give him the flu, so I barely saw him these days).

I'll feel alive, hence, this weekend. Cannot wait!

Being cooped up in the bedroom 24/7 I had ample opportunity to watch the sun set.

I guess that's something, huh?!

Ocean sliver, at the end of the field of vision. Glimmering.

Toward the end of the sick leave, I ventured outside, together with my brother in arms.

Sealing it with a kiss!

Not only flowers come to life, in spring, birds do too :-)

I dragged the furniture out a bit, letting it absorb more space.

And it's a winner! It made a big difference, however tiny a change.

We're making it cosy, step by step.

The Boy bought flowers from the neighbor girl (who must have picked

them in a flower bed) and he was adamant about putting them in a vase, bless his little heart!

I feel lucky and blessed, to live beautifully like this.

To think, being able to come home to this after a work day! Paradise!

That boy sure can style a table.

Starting to get my taste back, after the flu, I'm excited about tasting food this weekend! Like I can't wait.

Have yourself a fab one, will ya'!

Appreciating ordinary things...

When one is ill, everything else than being well, is unimportant.
I had no idea, of course, that I was going to catch a flu this holiday (we celebrate last of April here in my country), of course, and after having laid down for several days I so long to be OK, that nothing else matters.

This Wednesday post I start working on now, Monday, in order to achieve it at all.
Darn flu. Darn!

Enough with the complaining: when I stagger to the window and look outside - I see this!

Now you know for d*mn sure spring is here when you see tulips in the flower bed!!

Being outside more, that is such a sweet reunion.

There is one ordinary thing I'd really appreciate now and that is being able to taste things again! No matter what I eat or what I stick under my nose, I can't feel it at all. Food has no taste and coffee has no scent. I m.i.s.s. i.t.  a. l.o.t.!

I will rejoice when I get that blessing back.

My digital boys! Missing the big boy and his ever catchy smile <3

These require vision - that I have!

For that I'm eternally thankful.

Lying up in my room - in the sickbed - I could catch a glimpse of The Boy playing, outside the window.

Having a gorgeous time in the sweet spring weather!

Playing with a neighbor.

The dog kept me precious company in bed.

Simple and hilarious: soap bubbles!!

Spring. An ordinary thing to fully appreciate.

I am so thankful for the good company he kept: five days in bed with mama...

Something tells me he was thankful too.

No ordinary love

No one could call love ordinary 'cuz there is no such thing as ordinary love.  The love that is shown in action, is splendid, I think. Raw, natural and genuine.

My husband has been waiting on me 24/7 now for five days and I am so thankful and so much in love, that words just won't do it justice. 

It may not be ordinary but it's appreciated.

Marcus made rhubarb pie. Why?

Because I wanted it!

It looked fun and nice.

Funkie busy fetching his snutting blanket!

Snutting.

Oh, that pie!

I stuffed myself (yeah, that was before I lost my taste!).

Wednesday's here and to me the weeks are off, by now. I've been so ill in the flu, I barely noticed our holiday Valborg or May 1:st. I've been in bed, blowing my nose 'til it got red.

Now I charge to get well! Please keep your fingers crossed!

Have an excellent Wednesday! Be thankful that you can taste your meals, please ;-)
