Gahhhh!!! I'm just coming up out of a terrible, achy, sore-throated session with a virus, complete with chills and feeling like I may never have the energy to smile or open my eyes again.

Just after highly productive work/cleaning/cooking sessions on Monday, this terrible virus attacked, like that vampire actor on Halloween, and sucked the energy and color right out of me for a good 36 hours. Now I'm pale, but at least dressed and out of bed. (reaches for tea)

Jake was there. He took care of me (and the kids when they needed someone) while I drank lots of Emergen-C, hot tea, and dozed off to favorite movies. If there had been any doubt left about what kind of person he is, this evaporated. He was patient, knew when to leave me alone and when to offer help. Since I'm usually the person taking care of others, it was strangely nice.

He's a keeper.
