Society for the Preservation of My Sanity

I'm sick. *sniffle* Yep. It's got me. Sore throat, stuffed up head, pounding headache, freezing to death. Yeah. I done-n got me a cold, people.

I'd be happy to put it on a platter and pass around for sharing, but somehow, I don't think ya'll would 'preshate it much.

*sigh*

So, today I've been downing hot (yicky!) echinacea and yerba mate tea (with an occasional cuppa coffee to wash the taste out) and gobs of vitamin C. Urgh.

To beat it all? Guess who's here. Go 'head. Guess!

Yeah. Flo, in all her ornery glory. Gah.

Well, to be fair to the ol' hag, she's been here for a few days, and only now is being cantankerous. I have exactly five days to get myself to the health food store for more progesterone cream. I'm tellin' you people...er, um....you ladies, that is...that cream tames ol' Flo like no body's business! Kept me from having "that" surgery. I'm TELLING YOU!

Okay, so I'm sick. Nobody seems to care so much. I mean, life goes on. Boys ignore me except when they can't find something, poodles still come to me to whine when they wants out, as if nobody else in this house can take him out for a pee-poo. Sheesh.

At least the sun's shining today. It's colder than a well digger's shovel, but the sun's out.

Casey's bugging me to have a couple of buddies over Saturday after his ball game. I don't guess I mind, depending on how I'm feeling. I'm pretty confident I'll feel better by Saturday. Please Lord? And the two boys he wants to invite are nice. One is his homeschooling buddy. The other is a boy from his ball team.

We went out to eat lunch with his family last Saturday and they seem awfully nice. Case, his homeschool buddy and his b-ball buddy and Corey sat at their table just talking and laughing away. It's so nice to see Casey developing these friendships on his own instead of just riding his brother's coattails and 'sharing' his pals. Nothing's wrong with that, but Casey had a hard time stepping out there on his own to meet people. I'm thankful to see that's changed.

We're keeping the house at bay fairly well. At least those mega cleaning jobs I did a couple weeks ago haven't been demolished and the laundry's under control. That's saying tons for me, lemme tell ya!

Mom told me this morning that she's planning on coming up tomorrow. She hasn't been up "to help me" in over a month! I bet it's killing her. AND I bet she thinks the place is a disaster. AND I bet she won't say anything about the things I've accomplished. I don't know whether it's cuz she's so shocked she can't speak or if she just thinks to herself It's about time she did something, but I don't know why she didn't(fill in the blank)

Ah well. There's that pessimism in me. Pay no attention.

So, that's about it. Other than...my old isp account is now closed, so anyone wanting to contact me should use this addy. (make necessary changes before sending) Tommy called about the dsl yesterday too, a week early, but he called. And...the guy told him it'd be another week. So...we're still waiting. *sigh*

I'm gonna vamoose now. Hope ya'll are warm and NON-sick!

~hugs~
