good morning!

 

rule of thumb: never attend a family gathering in an small house with lots of people where at least half of them are children... SOMEONE is going to get sick... and it was ME.

 

well, maybe not HALF of them were kids... but there were 15 of us jammed into a little house and at least SOME of them were sick (INCLUDING adults). i noticed after i got home saturday night i had a little scratchy sore throat but figured it was from the drive and elevation changes. went to church sunday and was feeling pretty groggy. got home and within a few hours i was bundled up on the couch, alternately freezing or sweating. i realized at one point i had started crying so i knew i felt REALLY bad ... my mom used to say she could tell when i was really sick because that was the only time i cried.  i slept on the couch most of the afternoon, getting up only for the bathroom, aspirin, and orange juice or water.

 

feel better today. not 100% but much better than YESTERDAY. ugh.

 

 

**sigh**

 

i WISH i could take it easy today but i have lots of phone calls to make and places to go... i am currently on hold with the motor vehicle department to find out why i haven't received my vehicle registration renewal notice and have already conversed with my attorney over the client who is being difficult with paying us and am currently running laundry and dishes and have gotten all the christmas boxes put away as well as having fed and cleaned up after all the little beasties we have.

 

i still need to go out and run errands, including picking up groceries and kitty food, among other things.

 

i'm drinking lots of orange juice. i probably should have been doing that anyway. i have noticed when i don't get enough vitamin C i get cramps in my feet and calves which i noticed was happening last week but i didn't do anything about it.

 

has anyone watched that vh1 show Confessions of a Teen Idol?  i stumbled across it last night and had to watch. it's a bit of a train wreck (the title should tell you that!) but it has Adrian Zmed on it and i just LOVED him! i have pictures of me with him back in 1983 (but i look AWFUL so i don't show those much... i had a fro that would make ANYONE laugh - except ME, that is!)
