Aaaah-CHEW!

Hello to all of my loyal readers! (blessings on you both...)

I wanted to take a moment to apologize most sincerely for the lack of content on this blog in the last several weeks. I've been quite ill with an Epic bout of the Flu for some time now, and all I've been able to accomplish during this time has been to take occasional liquids and soft foods as I nap for a ridiculous number of hours every day.  Even my husband with his "Wolverine-like" healing powers has been snowed under by this bug; we are a veritable chorus of coughing, hacking, and sneezing as we have laid about like jellyfish all through Christmas and New Years.

It's been a mighty exciting time, letmetellya.


I was never able to get to those lovely Christmas goodies about which I had such high hopes of making then posting, about which I feel quite badly. However, I also feel as though I'm finally coming to the end of this rotten flu, thanks be to Deity-of-Choice, and I hope to be posting about delicious treats, fun crafts, and assorted geekery very soon.

All the best to you and yours for 2014.  Happy New Year!

How did the sick girl get to heaven? Flu...

Holy CATS this has been a rough weekend.

After dropping our friend off at the airport last Thursday afternoon, five days after our wedding, the Hubster and I headed for home. We had stopped for dinner, when all of a sudden I started to feel unwell.  Four days later, I have just managed to crawl out of the miasma of chills, sweats, sneezes. coughs, and head-to-toe body aches that kicked off my First Flu of the season. I have downed so much NyQuil, Neo Citran and Tylenol, I feel like my household is keeping the pharmaceutical industry afloat all by ourselves.


I never thought I'd have to rely upon the "In sickness and in health" portion of our vows so soon, but we managed to help each other through the worst of it. Hubster has what he calls, "Wolverine-like healing abilities", so while I was sick for nearly four days, and still have the cough to prove it, he was walking around like nothing happened after only ONE day of illness. To be fair, he was Super Awesome in taking care of me these last three days, so I'm not at all jealous.  Ok, a little jealous.

I'm still coughing like a two-pack-a-day habitual smoker, but at least I was able to totter out of our place this morning for a short while, to grab some breakfast and buy some baking supplies for a cake due on Wednesday morning. Luckily, I have ventilation masks and very strong cleanliness impulses.

I will be FINE and I will post pics of awesome baking stuff later this week...once I have another nap.
