Momo is sick. We aren't sure what's wrong but she's lethargic and won't eat. She has a slight fever and threw up earlier. It's terrible to see her like this. Poor baby. I'm not in great shape either. I have torticollis, (diagnosed by my sister-doctor) where my neck is spared out in a way that makes me look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I can't move my neck without excruciating pain. I would say the worst pain I ever felt but I blasted Momo out of my privates so that experience kinda takes that title for life. Let's just say we are kind of a hot mess over here. Poor Noah was planning on a nice New Years Eve workout followed by seeing Star Wars and invested he's been wiping barf and trying to help me get my head on straight. Literally and figuratively.
So here we are.
As I was laying in bed nursing Momo to sleep, I looked over at Noah who was conked out next to her and I thought, "Jeez, what a sorry bunch, but this is the best friggin' New Years Eve we've had in a long time." I almost wrote ever, but that's not really true. Noah and i had some pretty rocking' New Years, toasting on rooftops, getting toasted in foreign countries-- and we had some pretty rock bottom new years on IF Island, asleep by 9pm, wishing the year away.
I guess it made me think that we really never know what they year ahead might bring. What we do know for sure is that there will be laughter and there will be tears. There will be moments of joys and moments of despair. That's the ride we've all agreed to go on when we entered this wonderful world. We also know we will learn and grow and love.
Wishing everyone a very happy and healthy New Year.
I hope that you & Momo feel better soon. I just want to say thank you Maya for all your wonderful posts.
