WHAT?! January is over?! Where was I during the last half of the month?! Oh yeah…I was sick. It wasn’t your ordinary cold either….no….it was the “shivering with fever for four days, headaches, cold sweats & body aches, sleepless or delirious dream filled nights, hacking coughs, labored breathing, congested sinuses & runny nose (at the same time), bedridden and cry for your mommy” kind.
I caught the “walking pneumonia” virus that I heard has been running rampant lately. Though there was nothing I could take for it, I’ve been popping fever reducers, mucous relief tablets, sinus tablets, vitamins, and squirting nasal spray up my nose all day long for days. In the last 12 days, I’ve gone through 4 boxes of tissue!!!
It’s been nearly two weeks, and I’m just beginning to feel better….much better actually…although you couldn’t tell by talking to me. I still sound horrible. On the bright side, I’ve lost some weight and my skin looks better with the amount of sleep I’ve been getting and the extra water intake. 
Just thought I’d share…in case you were wondering. Sadly, I think after my hiatus last year, I’ve lost all my readers. *sigh*

Awww seee I click nearly everyday but figured life got busy for you again, like usual! Sorry to hear that you were sick. How not fun. From the looks of it, no one else got sick in your house, which is always a Godsend! I hate when I’m sick and then everyone else is b/c you’ve still got mom duties!

We were sick too! And it was right during the middle of our Chinese New Year vacation. 10 days off and we ended up doing nothing except sit at home. And you know how it goes, one of us gets it, then it’s only a matter of time before the other 2 comes down with something.
