This pic is what happens when you're up before sun rise!

I barely slept last night. I started coming down with a cold yesterday and was full blown as of last night. I fell asleep around 9pm, was up at 10:15p. Fell asleep again and was up 2 hours later and didn't fall alseep again until about 2am. I was up every hour after that and finally gave up trying to sleep and sat at the table while Hubby had his breakfast & got ready for work. He made me a cup of tea and once he went to work I made some Quaker instant Grits since I need something in my tummy but nothing too much.

BUT, the good news I realized last night? This may be my first cold/bronchitis since 2007! I know I had sinus infections, strep/tonsilitis and a gall bladder attack in 2008 but I don't recall a cold or bronchitis which must mean the iv treatments are working for the most part! I used to get colds and/or bronchitis 4 times a year or more.

Beautiful pic. I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks G! I'm on the way to getting better but DAMN! Winter has you crying UNCLE and this cold/bronchitis has me crying UNCLE! I took Nyquil (out of sheer desperation and misery) and it did not knock me out in the least! Cursed air plane cooties! For once my sinuses didn't bother me in the least on either (nearly 7 hour) flight but I got horrendously sick within 24 hours of getting home (which hasn't happened before).

Now what is a nice Jersey girl like you going eating GRITS? I thought those were for Southern Belles? I'm sorry you are so sick!
I'm feeling ever so slightly better but I'm still on my arse from this. It's pretty bad.

Teri, I am an eclectic, non stereo-typical Jersey Girl who not only likes grits, but can & doesn't mind pumping her own gas, lol!!! (I think in another life, or on another plane (not airplane), I was/am southern! So many things southern resonate for me.)

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
