I’m still alive!

Barely! I’m still sick.

I’m sorry I’ve been missing and I really appreciate all the emails checking on me but I don’t feel well and I don’t like to share a bunch of negativity on my blog. In fact… it’s a HUGE pet peeve of mine. Those consistent Negative Nancy’s quickly get removed from my blog roll, and seeing how I’ve been sick for so long… I don’t want to have to remove myself! LOL!

So… long story short. I’ve been sick since January 16th. It’s very frustrating. This darn cold has mutated into three different week long illnesses and starting this week… week four of this illness… we have now moved into my chest and I can’t breath. YUK! Such is the life of an immune compromised person who gets a simple cold. :( I’m guessing… based on last years winter cold, I may be well by March. I’m going to the doctor today so maybe! :/ I’m hoping. Lets pray for that!

…and enough of that crap! Again… negative Nancy’s NOT my style. Lets move on to happy stuff!!!

I'm sorry to hear that your down and not feeling well. My Mother has been going through the same thing and it dosn't want to go away.
You lucky girl, look at what you got... Skippy's a little bit jealous over here...

Linda ★ Parker's General said...

I knew you were sick but I was worried it was related to the new tattoo. That goodness it's not that. But I hate it when a cold goes into my chest. I will certainly pray for you to get better ASAP.
Wow, you did get some pewter. Cool. I thought you might. I haven't heard from everyone so I'm still curious about what everyone got. Surprise giveaway for everyone. LOL
I love the tin in your laundry. Did you re-purpose something for that? just curious.

Hi Carmen,
I was wondering were you've been. I have been sick for10 days. Much better now, missed a week of work and went back yesterday, but I am so weak! I got home at 6 and was in bed by 7:45. I hope today will be better for both of us!
xoxo
