Flower Fortune- Sweetbriar: Poetry and fragrance.

I am gradually cheering up. Today my husband kissed me and cheered up himself. It has something to do with his mood; something is different in him, something wonderful. He has gotten through a major part of his job, and is now able to stay at home with the children more. He was much more playful with them today, and let them bring me lunch in bed. The eight of us all crowded onto the comforter and watched Peter Pan. He kissed me and  blushed all through the movie and whispered in my ear, Let's have another. And even though I only laughed for an answer, everything seemed to be fixed for awhile. Of course, I will still try and stay away from the children for awhile; I would never want them to go through such muscular pain. Did you know mono causes muscle pain? I never knew what that meant, I think, until I couldn't lift my head.

I quite miss being up and about. Usually, at every second, I am wishing for more time to get work done. But now, with all this time, I've been getting bored and cranky and much too moodily reflective. By tomorrow, I hope to be cleaning and writing some papers, at least reading again. Sickness makes you too restless to read, I think. Where is my darling Edward since the day he came to visit? I miss him very much today, even though I have been trying to give him up. Harry sees it in my eyes, but he finds no fault with me. He has been kinder, sweeter, lovelier than ever to me. Of course he has. I love it when he gets in bed at night and pushes himself up against my chest. My head fits right into his neck. He breathes lightly through my hair.

I am so restless.
