feathers

Yesterday I very happily inherited my brother's almost brand new fluffy Ralph Lauren goose down comforter - he said he didn't like it because there were too many feathers flying around everywhere. I don't mind the feathers and I LOVE the comforter. I also finally now own a fancy humidifier that my mom bought for me from Bed Bath and Beyond, to soothe my very dry and scratchy throat and stuffy sinuses. As a testament to just how much these two items have improved my sleep conditions and comfort level - I didn't get out of bed until almost 11:30am this morning! I haven't slept that late in quite a while, so clearly my body is hurting from this nasty cold I've had for the past week. I've been so sick that I haven't even really caught up on much tv and my sunday afternoon will be spent watching football and wrapping christmas presents! And maybe cleaning up the mess that has accumulated in my apartment while I've been ill.

My last full week at DHR lies ahead. Part of me is sad to leave it behind, but I am hopeful that the adventure that lies ahead of me will be exciting!
