I got a call from Gabriel's teacher on Tuesday morning saying that he said he felt sick and was sleeping on the floor. I went to pick him up from school and from the moment he got home he was fine. *sigh*

Wednesday Gabriel had no school (his break was Wed - Sun) and Rob had a half work from home day. When he was done with work we headed out on some errands. We needed to pick up some of Sydney's prescription k/d food at the vet, pick up some Xmas wrapping supplies and new lights for our tree at Target, and then pick up our Thanksgiving dinner stuff from the Fresh Market. Unfortunately, they lost our order. Luckily for us, they were able to put one together for us so we weren't left high and dry on Thanksgiving. We got a pre-cooked (just needs to be heated) turkey, mashed potatoes (with extra since that's my favorite part), stuffing, gravy, cranberry relish, rolls, and a pumpkin pie.

One thing I found out while at Target was that they still make Wacky Packages and Garbage Pail Kids cards. Wow. I had those when I was a kid. Gabriel wanted some of the Wacky Packages ones and he loves them just as much as I did (okay, still do). So, at some point, we're going to get a binder and some baseball card holders and collect them. Something fun for Mommy/Son to do.

Thanksgiving we cooked up our meal and ate until we were about to explode. We also did some gaming. It was a relaxed and rather fun day.

Friday we chilled out - no Black Friday shopping here. In fact, I do almost all of my shopping for the holidays online these days. I hate malls, especially around the holiday season - though we will need to brave one at some point so that Gabriel can have his picture taken with Santa.

Saturday we hung out with our new friends. We spent some time in N and M's apartment while Gabriel hung out with their two boys, Z (who just turned 5) and Q (who is 7). We all get along very well. Later on we grabbed dinner at Super Buffet.

Sunday I was sick as hell. Fever, body aches, either freezing cold or super hot, and bad gastrointestinal issues. I don't know if it was some sort of bug or a problem with the food from Super Buffet. I spent the day in misery.

Yesterday and today I'm still a bit on the sick side, but it's getting better. No more fever, body aches are down, still have hot/cold spells, and still have gastrointestinal issues - but they're now of a different variety. Lovely.

I had my first set of physical therapy today for my back, I'll post more about that tomorrow.
