I don't like being negative, especially in a public way, but today sucks.
Starting last night, I started to feel kind of crappy, in the respiratory sense. It felt like a sore throat, but by morning it had developed into a full-blown and miserable head cold. A couple extra hours of sleep didn't help. Diana was good though, so she was able to do her normal stuff.
Simon, however, had a different idea. After some of the most epic spit-ups in his life thus far, we hoped he'd be better today. In terms of keeping his food where it belongs, he was, but he was cranky on and off all day. Aside from a few 20-minute naps, the kid was up all day long. With my nose dripping constantly, it seemed like a pretty bad idea to help out, which put the burden entirely on Diana. He had some fun awake time, happy as can be, but he spent so much time being as upset as can be, without any obvious reason.
That's a shitty feeling. I stayed home from work so as not to infect people there (though honestly, that's probably where I got this in the first place), and then at home I'm of no use because I can't risk exposing Simon to me. It makes you feel useless. For someone who likes to think he solves problems, that sucks. I hate it when our team dynamic is broken.
Now that I've got that out of my system, I know that perspective will set in, and tomorrow will be better. I just hope that Simon sleeps more than he's awake tonight.
