A Cool Day and Night Sweats

This week I was very excited about our weekend plans.  We were going to take Finn to see  the Capitol Building up close.   Here he is when he spotted it...

 The weather was drastically different than what we have been used to here.  It was very cool.  I could have actually worn jeans and jacket if I had them.  Since it is hotter than blazes, I took my only jeans home when I went back for the wedding.  It was sprinkling most the day. It was a perfect, cool day to do lots of walking...

I did my fair share of complaining though because I was freezing!  Tosh thought I was insane.  I was shivering and could not get warm.  I even made him wait around while I went in H&M and bought a pair of jeans and a sweater in case I were to be this cold again. I also got a new skirt, since I was already there.

                                                    
Finn was excited to see the Library of Congress, the Senate, and Supreme Court. He knows these places from a book he has...       
                                                 
 The Library of Congress has the most amazing inside. This was the Thomas Jefferson Building...

 Marble galore...

 The ceilings are gorgeous...

 There is not a lot to see in the Library of Congress, since it is a functioning library. You are able to see a couple of historical prints like the Gutenberg Bible.  I was not aware of the importance of the Gutenberg Bible, but thanks to Tosh and Wikipedia, now I know that it "is the first major book printed with movable type in the West." It is also the "first major book produced on a printing press anywhere."   It seems like I learned that at one time.  Just needed a refresher. We were not allowed to take photos of the Bible.  

  
So remember how I was freezing all day? After we got home, I put on my new jeans (without washing them... yuck)  and a sweater and I still was freezing.  I finally knew I wasn't just cold.   I took my temperature and sure enough... fever.  It quickly turned into the kind of fever that has you tossing, turning, moaning, and wishing your mommy was there.

I couldn't be happier that this took place on a weekend.  Tosh was the best.  I was able to stay in bed all day!  I feel much better.  I don't know how I would have kept little wild man in the apartment long enough to feel sick.  Finn was also a very sweet caregiver.

All in all I am happy to know that almost 8 weeks in I just now caught something.  My immune system is really turning around!
