Recovering

Hi!  I'm finally feeling better after suffering with a stomach/intestinal bug since last Tuesday which caused me to miss a day and a half of work, two presentations, and an entire weekend.  So, it's been a sucky few days.  All I need to do is turn on the news and see the images of the storm ravaged Philippines and I stop whining.  I'm okay and a lot better off than most people.  You forget how wonderful it is to feel good until one day you don't and then you realize how much you take for granted.  Life is wonderful when you aren't suffering from stomach and abdominal cramps!

I took the picture above a little over a week ago when my hubby and I traveled to Lynchburg to pick up a bookcase and we took a detour through the Lynchburg College campus to walk around a bit.  The autumn colors were at their peak then and now most of the trees are either naked, browned up, or confused looking.  The local papers are taking bets on when our first snowfall will be (Tuesday night?) and a local radio station has been playing Christmas music 24/7 since the first day of the month.  So, I guess that means winter is coming?  I keep thinking it's September.

I just put on a load of laundry which is the most activity I've done in several days.  I'm proud of myself!  There is a lot of cleaning to do around here but I'm just going to pass and wait.  No need to rush these things.  You dust one day and cobwebs show up in the same spot the next day.  I'm clean but not going to kill myself today to clean up too much.  The dirt can wait.

I enjoyed watching the Lindsay Lohan version of Freaky Friday (for the fifth time) this weekend along with a marathon of Too Cute - Puppies.  Both of those shows put me in a good mood yesterday when I was horizontal on the couch.  Friday, I got to see Vanilla Ice talk about his new show which somehow involves Amish in Ohio and he performed "Ice Ice Baby".  I also love reruns of Sex and the City.  I'd say those were the highlights of the past few days.  That and my husband being super nice and taking good care of me.  Yay for good husbands and moms!  My poor mom now has what I have.  :-(

Hope you are feeling well and avoid whatever the heck is going around!
