Well, we survived. Its two days after Thanksgiving and everyone else has posted a Thanks blog, everyone but me. I had my hands pretty full. I got a brand spanking new oven, and have been quite busy cooking away for our feast on Thanks. I hate mentioning it, but I have been sick for almost three weeks as well. Four weeks ago, I got Nae and Trav through colds. It took about five days total, they were good to go and I came down with it. And it has stayed around for three weeks. I cooked all that food and couldn't taste it. Trav says it was delicious. I'm glad that he enjoyed it. I ate because I was hungry, not that I could taste anything and I still can't, then I ate some more because I was depressed that I could taste anything.
Sometimes, being the Mom and pushing through illness because everyone else is counting on you....sucks. It makes homesickness worse, sickness worse, puts me a crabby mood, makes me feel selfish. I hate that feeling.
Monday is doctor day. I have tried over-the-counter, home remedy, holistic, and this time it hasn't helped. I'm upset because usually it does. So, I will go to see what a traditional doctor will say.
In light of this illness, I'm gonna take a few minutes to myself and steep heavily in Gratitude. Even if I have been sick for three weeks, it could be far, far worse.
I was as sick as you sound in February - last 5 weeks! :( Almost ended up in hospital and felt like my lung was coming out of my body - good thing was I lost wieght - bad thing - i've replaced it since. :(
ReplyDeleteLOL!! Cindy, I have lost a few pounds too!! LOL! But, with the holidays, I'm sure it won't take long to gain back. I have a few plans for the New Year though.
