Wow.  I am sooooo sick.  I can not remember the last time I felt this sick.  It all started last Wednesday with a little cough and feeling a little bit achy.  By Wednesday night I had a slight fever.  I felt the same way Thursday but I had shopping to get done, so I pressed on.  Friday I felt worse and we had a big snow storm, so I stayed home all day.  Saturday I had stuff to get done so I pressed on again even though I still felt terrible.  By Sunday my fever was up pretty high even though I had taken lots of Motrin.  I was shivering and had goose bumps.  I have been coughing like crazy and it’s hard to even catch my breath.  Every time I try to talk or take a deep breath the coughing starts up again.  I went to bed early last night- around 10pm.  I’m usually up until well after midnight.  This morning George got up with Peanut and I stayed in bed until 11am when Peanut was begging me to get up.  I still feel terrible today but I do feel a little better and my temperture is back down to 100.5.  I haven’t even started wrapping presents or baking so I need to get better so I can get to work!
