Blame it on the flu

So I have been sick for the last two days, well truthfully I am still rather under the weather, so all I have done is stay in bed or on the couch playing video games.  Well there was a problem with that, my husband and son where home as well, being the weekend and all, so I found myself without a computer to play on (we only have 2).  Normally I would hop onto the WiiU and play, but I have finished all the games I want to right now and there is only so much Mario Kart 8 one can play (a lot...but there is still limits), so I stole my son's 3DS and started playing Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon.  What a fun game. The game is absolutely beautiful, but also very fun and even a little challenging for this old lady.  I admit it, I have died a few more times than in respectable, so I will blame it on the flu. Luigi's Mansion reminds me of all the fun I've had playing any number of the Super Mario Bros games as a child and I am looking forward to playing more of it today.  I am about half finished the game, but unlike when I was a child I have things I need to do today, sick or not, so I will play in between loads of laundry and cleaning the kitchen.
Oh I should also make supper at some point...I wonder what Luigi would want.

a week later

Well it has been a week since the worst day ever and I will still say it was a pretty horrible day.  Things have improved this week as apart from work and everyday life stuff I have pretty much just numbed my brain and sadness of my husband heading back to Montreal with hours of Dr Who (I know, nerd alert) and hours of cooperative video gaming with my husband.  We have been playing a game called Terraria which has proven to be rather fun.  I know that I really need to be trying to focus on 'being a grown up' but then I realize that I am working a full time job, caring well for my son, maintaining a household and supporting a long distance husband.  I am very grown up.  So maybe I'll cut myself some slack and play a little more.
