turpsI'm up to episode 5 of Umbrella Academy and am still enjoying it loads. If you're also watching, or want to, or just interested there's a new comm ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
theumbrellaacademy which looks pretty great.
I had an excellent time at my aunt's, including having a birthday cake where I got sang to and needed to blow out candles. I can't remember the last time I got to blow out candles, so that was fun. Two of my cousins were there and I was talking about my lymph appointment next week and due to location how I'd have to taxi to get there again, and my oldest cousin said she would drive me. I said thanks but no, because she lives half an hours drive away without adding on time to drive to the appointment, but it's good to know she made the offer and is there as an option in an emergency.
My aunt put on a birthday tea and as always we came home with leftovers, meaning no cooking last night, so, score for that.
I was supposed to be doing the tip run today and then going to visit my MiL but the cold that's been lurking for a while reared up a bit, and while I'm not actually ill as such I didn't think it was a good idea going to the hospital. I would have still helped at the tip but James got my BiL to go with him and help, so I've been able to stay home, potter, stay warm and alternate tea, lemsips and putting vaseline around my sore nose. James meanwhile has gone on a solo shopping trip before visiting starts, phoning up to ask my dress size, so goodness knows what he comes home with.
So now I'm going to read my flist, drink more tea, wait for no tags stories to be revealed, and then later, more UA. As Sundays go, it's a pretty good one.

Yay for no cooking!
Aww I hope you feel better soon. It’s a good idea not to take it in just in case. Ohh sounds like he’s seen something for you!
🖤 Yay for no tags! I’m curiously awaiting them too. And yay more Umbrella Academy! I ended up finishing it last night and ahh

I was shocked when she offered. It was such a lovely thing to do, especially as it would take a big chunk of her afternoon.
Yeah, I thought it was better to just stay home and hopefully I'll be 100% for the show tomorrow night. No one wants to hear nose blowing going on at the theatre.

I think that, too and it's good to know there is backup out there if needed.
No, taking germs to the hospital wouldn't have been good. And especially so as when James got back he said the whole ward was having to do barrier nursing, with visitors having to wear aprons etc as an infection had broken out in some patients.
