It's too quiet

I woke up this morning with a headache and muscle aches. My beloved, understanding my desperate need for a bit of extra sleep, took Miss M to his mother's house on his way to work. I woke up gradually, snuggled for a bit with Alpheus, came downstairs and took a shower, checked my email and caught up on my discssions. It's barely 1 pm and I've now done everything that I usually hope to accomplish in a day, even after sleeping in. I miss my baby.
