12/13/2013: "Mid December already?"

The strep/cold I had... and is still lingering but signs of almost gone... beat the heck out of me. Between coughing so hard I should have spit out a lot of my internal organs, gagging and feeling tired as well as that serious hoarse voice, I can finally say I feel better. It's not fully gone, but I have my voice back with a little raspy in it here and there - I can now be heard without it hurting to talk - and the coughing fits have subsided, I am NOT going anywhere this weekend. I have to do some serious resting. I didn't want to mess up Dot's vacation AGAIN because I was sick... and hopefully, I haven't passed this bugger on to anyone. I feel like I have been doping myself for two weeks solid and still don't know how I managed to keep going. Although, I have been dropping to bed early - seriously early - and then of course wake up coughing like I'm going to pass out, I just don't know how I was functioning other than "I have to" mode.

And of course, Cookie Day is tomorrow, and a snowstorm coming in with some heavy duty snow. Not going to Cookie Day mostly because I don't know if this cold thing can be passed on still with anyone low immunity and kids kids kids... that I don't want to infect or get another cough thing.

My shopping is done, thanks to the internet and the occasional spotting things when out for other things. I feel content with my choices. Now I have to get my act in gear to wrap. And yeah... maybe pull the Christmas tree stuff out of the storage bin... I DO have my snowflake lights on the balcony... only because I bought them and they were up here. Took me about a week to finally open the box and untangle the wire to string out there. It's not straight or even but it's out there. Not bad for someone that panics at the railing because of height.

Anywho - can't even remember half the stuff that went on during the week. But this morning I updated to Windows 8.1 Pro.... now I broke my Big Fish games. ::sighs:: Pete is coming over for sketti and meatballs so I'll have him fix it so I can play again. Gonna need it for the weekend!

Good Night & Good Blessings!
