Cold and flu season

Well, the bug that has been travelling around my family finally caught up with me last week.
I thought I had been doing pretty well not to fall ill, since I'm usually the first in the family to get any bug, but I think it was just biding its time in order to hit me hard. I've spent the last week coughing, spluttering, sneezing, blowing my nose and trying to take it easy to recover. I think the tide has finally turned and I'm on the mend, but still not totally well unfortunately.
I still managed to make some good progress on writing up my detailed timetable (it's so nearly finished). It's been a really helpful process for working out how I actually want to spend my time. I watched a tiny bit of Joyce Meyer this morning, where she made the great point that what we spend our time on is where our heart is. I want my heart to be with God, with my family, with my friends, with my garden, with my craftwork. I don't want to have a heart for TV watching or lazing around, which I feel I've fallen into a bit of late. So writing my timetable has been very timely. I've made sure that I've set aside some designated couple time and family time and my husband insisted that I set aside some rest time so that I feel refreshed and not frustrated when I'm busy with housework or other tasks. Being a submissive wife can be such a blessing at times like this!
I think I should finally finish the timetable today, and am hoping to have some good God-time as well. It's been too long since I've set aside proper time for bible-reading and prayer, but I've got a nice chunk of time set aside each day now, so I'm hoping that will be helpful.
