omigod, I'm like, finally alive! The day after I got home from the FL trip - November 18th to be exact - I started getting sick. I was sick all through that weekend, fever and all. That broke on the following Monday, so I thought I was on the mend. Uh, wrong. I thought it was some cold/flu type thing and that I just had to man up and get through it. Finally, after a week and a half of congestion and coughing and miserableness, the Mr. insisted I go to the doctor. Don't get me wrong, I am not one of those people who steer clear of doctors - I just thought they were going to tell me it was viral and there was nothing to do about it.
So I finally go. Only to find out I have double ear infections (what am I, six months old?) and a sinus infection. Nice. But here we are, five days and a Z-pack later and I finally remember what it feels like to feel good! Hooray for antibiotics and cough medicine with codeine!
Of course now I have to face the world and do things like laundry and apparently the people who pay me expect me to do some kind of work or something. Phht. Like I have time for that. So I'm way late on catching up on things like emails and blogs and starting to panic about Christmas, etc, etc. Good times.
At least I'm healthy! And let me tell you, I can really appreciate that now. So be sure to get your rest out there, and drink plenty of water and shit like that. Because you don't want to be sick this time of year, it sucks.
Promise to be back to full participation soon, especially since I need confirmation that the Pixie is in fact, a vampire.

Glad to hear you are alive and feeling better!!
Glad you're finally on the mend. Being sick at the holidays is the pits!
Glad you're on the mend. I'm still congested from swine flu and cold from the Sunday before Thanksgiving, on day 7 of 10 for antibiotics, and pretty tired of being tired and snotty. At least we're done figuring out immunity to this one now.... it's a malingerer.
So glad to hear you are feeling better! The bummer part about being sick is all the catching up you have to do when you're better.
Glad you're feeling better. So far the kids and I have been healthy here, but my husband has had pneumonia, etc., for...good god...nearly TWO MONTHS!! And now the doctor says he has asthma as a result of the pneumonia! Needless to say, after having residual exhaustion because of him, I'm doing all I can to stay healthy!
Hayzeus!
I thought ear infections were for babies...
Well, at least it's only ear infections and not the zombie plague.
Yipes! Flu and vampires. It's gettin' scary in your neck of the woods.
I'm glad you're on the mend.
Hope it's smooth sailing catching up.
(It always seems unfair that the flu season and holidays coincide, maybe we all need to move to Australia!)
Okay I missed this one somehow. Glad you're all better!
I'll bet you did have the flu...All the doctors are saying that "the flu" is often followed by really bad infections. My mom is still battling her sinus infection - 13 days later. Glad your on the mend babe!
