We've got a full feast planned for our menu today.
Appetizer: Getting bank deposits ready and going to the bank
Soup de Jour: Updating e-mail list
Salad: Designing monthly marketing e-mail and setting it up to mail itself automatically tomorrow morning.
Main Course: Designing signs, updating website, posting instructions for staff on preparation, changing boxtoppers to this month's Pizza of the Month

Dessert: Paying bills and printing marketing letters
I think I'll pass on this menu and just have myself a big juicy hamburger instead!
Ha Ha......looks like I have a full day ahead of myself!
Happy Saturday

The final insult
It's not bad enough that I've been sick for 9 days (I am starting to feel better)
It's not bad enough that I have gone through 3 boxes of Kleenex; 1 roll of toilet paper (cause I ran out of Kleenex; and 1 bottle of Nyquil to try and battle this coughing, runny nose, and just feeling crappy.
And now.....just when I think I might be on the end of all this madness.....my lip is now in the beginning stages of sprouting a BIG fever blister. I'm not talking one either -- OH NO -- we're going for the double siamese twin kind that takes up 1/4of my bottom lip! I should have known it was coming -- usually happens after I've been sick like this for awhile. And of course it's trying to be the "big daddy" of all cold sores and feeling very tender and huge on my lip. (I'll spare you the details and not take a picture)
But I'm not giving up -- I've started vigorously applying the Abreva and will try and conquer this new enemy who is trying to invade my body.
The worse: I haven't been able to kiss my husband for over a week now because I was trying to spare him this illness. Now I have to wait a little longer until I can get rid of this little monster!

Screaming
My ribs are screaming: "please don't cough any more.....you're killing us"
My nose is screaming: "please don't blow any more.....I are red, dry, and it hurts for you to rub me"
My head is screaming: "please go take some more Advil.....I am hurting again"
My skin is screaming: "why is it when you get sick this itchy psoriasis just flares up all over me?"
My body is screaming: "why am I hot and then I am cold and then I am hot again?"
I am screaming: "I am tired of being sick! I want to be well again"
Okay.....get the picture?

Now I've blown it
In fact, I've blown it so many times that I'm tired of it.
What you ask? My nose, of course.
This little case of laryngitis erupted into a full blown illness. You know the kind - runny nose, headache, sore throat, general all over feeling of "crap". First you're hot, then you're cold, and then you can't hold an upright position for very long without running for the kleenex. And we won't even talk about how your nose feels after blowing it at least 100 times.
I don't like being sick. In fact, it really disrupts my day. I seriously have no time in my life for being sick.......there's too much to do.
So today in addition to all the other things I have to get done......nursing myself back to wellness will be my top priority!

Eggless Easter
Happy Easter! Happy Day off for us!
Well not really a day off for us....because there is always something to do. But a day off from dealing with the stress of having our two stores open. So technically it's a day off for our worrying minds.
Today will be spent cleaning house, catching up on some more paperwork, and making a dinner for my Houston family. And as an added treat.....I get to do all this while being sick :(
There will be no running around the house and yard looking for colored eggs, easter baskets filled with all kinds of surprises, or chocolate bunnies. Those days are long gone and will not be back again until we have grandchildren visiting our house. I miss that excitement.
Instead it will be 5 adults carrying on forced conversations while eating my awesome pot roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, and corn.
And in the blink of an eye it will all be done and they will all go home and once again our house will turn into it's quiet sanctuary. And then once again I will bo back to working on cleaning house and catching up on paperwork.

Homeward bound........
Looking so forward to our trip "home"
Miss the family, miss the mountains, miss the cactus, miss the friends, miss the food, but don't miss all the "brown".
I love where we live in Texas. I love green. I love grass. I love trees. I love water. All of those we have here in Texas. We even have a beach within one hour of us (not the best.....but hey it's still a beach)
But we are all excited about coming back to Tucson. Love ya'll......can't wait until we see ya!
I wonder how many of these things I can devour while I am there?
