I do believe hell hath frozen over, btw...

This weekend, a few good friends came over to visit and play with various "crafty" machines that Goofy has.

It was fun, but it was also monumental.

My little sis (kleach), finally agreed to come along on a Hawaiian vacation with Magic and Goofy.

I KNOW!  Right?  Hell.  Frozen.  Over!

Mini Me is going tooooooo!

Magic is extremely excited to have not one, but TWO mini me's along.  Not only Mini Me, but Mini Mini Me.

Can you imagine the bounciness derived from such fortune?  The pure joy of three of me in Hawaii at the same time?  Someone should be paying US to be there really. 

We are great one by one...but together? 

All THREE?  At.  The.  Same.  Time?  The definition of awesome, really.  (go ahead, look it up, we'll wait ;)) 

Gracing the world with our awesomness and generally "happy to be together" aura of life-itude?

OMG is all I can think to say...

So...to Hell with hell freezing over...we are heading to Maui with the peeps, y'all.

Stand back and bask in the awesome glow of happiness.

Just sayin'

Monday, Monday...

Hellooooooooo

or, oooooooHell  :)

Long weekend for magic...went to see my friendly neighborhood doc, and yay!  I have infection in not one, but both ears as well as my sinuses.  Can you imagine being so very lucky?  I hadn't gone in for either of those - as they were minor annoyances compared to my incredibly sore throat - but the ears and nose were of much more interest to the doc and goofy.

Goofy looked up my nose.  Ewwww.  Well, it's kinda doc's fault.  He left us un-supervised in his exam room with all his fun toys!  So, we looked up noses and down throats..."someone" was too chicken to look in ears, so magic hasn't seen into a non-infected ear yet.  (boo).

I went home with a nice shiny scrip for antibiotics, cures for antibiotics, inhalers and cough meds.  The inhaler and cough meds are for the (still) lingering cough that seems happily ensconsed where it is.  I did avoid the nasty tasting cough syrup, opting, instead for the more convenient pills.  I do not care what anyone says...that cough syrup is NASTY tasting. 

So...sigh...that's about where things stand.

Woohoo!

Sick and Tired

Well, yay.

I'm sick again.

I know that having the flu (twice) and pneumonia (only once, thank goodness), makes me more susceptible to whatever bugs come wandering by, but dammit!, I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired.

This time, it's a bad sore throat, cough (well, that's pretty much status quo still), headache and fever.

It's the fever that keeps me isolated at home.  I won't go in to the office and "share", and while I'm spiking fevers, I'm brewing bugs.

I wish others would stay home when they are sick, but I guess it's hard sometimes - like when you don't have sick leave, and the bills are still needing to be paid.  I get that too.  And really, I'm just more likely to get things in my immune compromised state.  The old lungs are still trying to recover, and in the best of circumstances that takes a few months.  I wonder how far back I'm being set with all the extra colds and coughs.

Anyway...I'm cranky, and tired, and sore from coughing...

Wahhhhhh.

This too shall pass, I'm just so sick and tired of being sick and tired...

Just sayin'

Ahhhhhhh....Frrrrriiiiiiidayyyy....finally.

It's been one of those weeks...

Good and not so much.  Mostly good though.  Occasionally great...but not so much as to tip it on over to a great week.  ;)

Nothing of huge import...nothing life changing...just the same old stuff.

It's been a long week...one that I'm happy to be through.

And it's Friday.  Always a good day...

You see, Friday is the day before "sleep in" Saturday.

Friday is the day at work when things are winding down.  People are often off on Fridays, so it's quieter and things get done.  Friday is...well...awesome I suppose.

And tomorrow, my friend...is Saturday.  A good day indeed.

So, have a good one.  Celebrate the Saturday...take a moment to remember the joy of the day...simply for the fact that it's S A T U R D A Y! ! ! ! !

(yay).

It's a long way to Tipperary

LOL.  I really have no idea what I mean by that.  Just came to my mind and out through my fingertips.

It's - once again - been a very long time since I've been here. 

Mostly it's because of the nastiness that is called H1N1 - swine flu, the OINK, etc.

Both goofy and I came down with that in late November - yes, right in time for hosting the family's Thanksgiving dinner.

Then there was a slight reprieve where we both thought that we were over and done with the nasty flu...and then BANG!  Back again in spades.

I ended up getting two really bad brochial infections - the second turning into pneumonia that sent me to bed for a week.

So, there ya have some of the reason I've been absent...I'll logon a bit later for more.

TTFN!
