Somebody Call The Waaahhhhmmmbulance

It’s been tough to get back into the routine of blogging since the Christmas holidays. (I know. You could hardly tell from ALL of my interesting, thought provoking posts since the end of December, right?) I also got sucked right smack into Facebook where all of my friends and I have been posting pictures from way back when we thought we all had life figured out. My mom used to have a sign on her refrigerator that said, “Why didn’t life’s problems hit me when I was a teenager and knew everything?”. I always rolled my eyes heavenward when I looked at it and thought old people sure were nuts. Turns out, that sign pretty much sums it all up.

I was all ready to sit down and blog my little heart out today since it was my day off, but I came home from work last night with a sinus infection that obviously has a personal beef with me. It feels like something is squeezing my temples and jaw and it will not let up. My stomach also tells me I am hungry, but I cannot taste or smell anything and pretty much don’t have an appetite for anything. I’m also a crabby sick patient. Poor Cracked Daddy has been at my beck and call, fetching Tylenol, Sudafed, and Kleenex and adjusting the thermostat to suit my ever-changing bodily temperature needs.

It’s also obscenely cold here. We woke up to 19 degrees this morning and I just thanked the Lord I didn’t have to be anywhere today. Now, I am fully aware of the fact that many of you reading this are even more obscenely cold, but in defense of this whine-fest I would just like to point out that you people above the Mason-Dixon Line are used to this sort of thing. We are not. Anything below 30 sends me into hibernation mode.

So, once again, I have nothing for you today. I’m just sitting here bringing sexy back in my mix-matched pajamas with a red nose, swollen eyelids and yeterday’s hair-do swept back in a plastic hair clip. I’ll leave you with that mental picture and hopefully be back shortly.

    Where are all the people that were telling us a few years ago that the world was going to end because of global warming???
