Crawling up out of my hole...

Well, I had planned on getting back here before the end of the day on Monday, to make my Past Year in J-Land entry, but it didn't work out that way.

I have been so sick!  Eler Beth came home from school last Wednesday feeling bad, and by the next day she had a fever, sore throat and headache.  It became an ear infection and caused a trip to the doctor and four missed days of school.  I could have sent her yesterday, but I figured one more day to rest while taking her medicine wouldn't hurt anyone.  She's doing much better. 

I started getting her symptoms over the weekend.  Sunday I logged into the chat, but my head was buzzing so much, I really couldn't do it justice.  I enjoyed the conversations going on, though.  Monday I just really couldn't bear to do much of anything.  My brain wouldn't work well enough to write anything readable.  I had a fever and started sneezing my head off, and my throat was so sore that nothing would help, until Thomas mixed me up some Wild Turkey, honey, lemon and peppermint.  I do not drink, but this tasted so good and felt so good to my throat that I had to be careful not to take too much!

Needless to say I slept very well Monday night, and I slept most of the day yesterday.  I did get to the doctor to get some "real" medicine, and I went right back to bed when I got home and slept through the night.

So although I still feel a little yucky, I'm up early, and I think today I can maybe get something written...in between naps, maybe.
