I love the billboards of former president George W. Bush in which the statement 'Do you miss me yet?' appears. And that is what I thought this morning as I realized it has been naerly a week since I have written anything. Not that I haven't wanted to, but I must admit, it was not on my mind.
Hubby and I ran away last weekend up to Prescott Valley, with the intent to have a nice, relaxing weekend. Unfortunately, it did not turn out as we had planned. Not at all. I woke Saturday morning with a "raspy" chest.... starting to cough and getting that 'iron taste' cough. We put Marley in the pet hotel and off we went. On the way up, as we drove into Prescott Valley, we ran into sleet, hail, snow and rain. Yes, we saw them all within a half hour period. The wind was blowing and it was cold. I hadn't brought that warm of clothes so after checking in at the hotel, we headed to the mall. Found a thick sweater at Penneys marked down to $6.97 so grabbed it. Also grabbed a couple other things at Christopher and Banks. Then back to the room where I slept. Sunday we did go to church, and grabbed a quick lunch with friends, but back to the room I slept again. Awoke later for us to go grab a sandwich and ended up meeting with friends for dinner and then over to their house to visit for a bit. Then back to the hotel to sleep all night. Slept off and on until we decided to leave and head back home. By now my cold is full force, and I'm hacking and sneezing like crazy.
It was a good weekend for I had said I was tired and I just wanted to get away and rest. And I did. Nearly all weekend. I just hadn't planned on being sick and forced to rest.
Tuesday I was to come back to work but I just couldn't. So I ended up working from home and was able to get some things done. Yesterday I did come back in to the office and although I am still hacking and sneezing, I managed to stay all day until a little after 4PM when I said I was going home. I got home, changed to my jammies, and slept for a solid hour. Hubby brought me a Frosty from Wendys when he got home; I ate it and went to bed and slept all night.
Getting up this morning was hard - I kept looking at my bed and wishing I could climb back into it and get some more sleep. I am so sleepy right now I can barely keep my eyes open. It's definitely not from lack of sleep - but more from my body just wants to shut down until it gets to feeling better.
I'm taking some non-drowsy daytime stuff - but it sure hasn't helped keep me awake! And I'm still sneezing, coughing, and sniffling. It's been five days - it should be gone by now! I need to go to Vitamin Shoppe and pick up more Olive Leaf Extract and my Black Elderberry syrup - that's why I'm not better already. We are out of both and they would boost my immune system. Think I will stop tonight and get some. Can't stand this being icky sicky.
Ok - time to get to work now and I'm running in slow gear so need to sign off. May be soon I can come up with something really good to share.
I would have been on vacation as of today if I was going to Indiana for the Mini Marathon. I have mixed emotions. My heart just wasn't in it this year, but with that being said, I don't think i could have walked it as bad as I feel today even.
Have a good day.
Blessings!

Even with your "goodies" from the vitamin shop, ya got to realize you are getting older, and their effectiveness may not be as good as previous year(s).... just saying.
Well, I decided to quit taking the day/night quil stuff. That stuff is evil! I don't usually take anythng like that and it was making me so dizzy and light-headed I had to focus just to do anything. So today I'm going 'cold turkey'. I may be older, but I still swear by the olive leaf extract and the black elderberry syrup. I had planned to get it last night - and was so focused on just getting home I forgot to stop. Going to get it tonight for sure!
