So the week has gone by in a blur. Work Eat Sleep and repeat. It was nice to have a short week last week. Fri was quiet. We had our neighbours over for dinner. Pork Tenderloin Schnitzel. Yum. Sat we ran errands and went around our area looking at plants for the garden and bbqs. Almost came home with a bbq but we had some voices of reason step in. Good thing too ...considering we weren't too sure if it fit into our future bbq'ing plans. It was exciting to think that we almost got one but once we got home we knew we had made the right decision. Sun was good too. Had brunch at the il's ...eggs benedict. Spent the afternoon with them and then headed over to my mom's for dinner.

Hb is off today. Lucky him. I wouldn't have minded the day off but c'est la vie. Also wanted to say that we finally took down the rest of our Christmas lights. this weekend. Hb is very happy about that.

Thurs and Fri work went in a blur. Went out for lunch on Fri to an Indian restaurant for a buffet. It was good. I had a full belly at the end of lunch. Came back from lunch and went home shortly afterwards.

Fri night we hung out at Hb's uncle and aunt's place. They came home from vacation and we chatted the night away. They were really sweet and brought us back a souvenir. I got a really cool polished lava rock necklace and Hb got a t-shirt from the Mad Dog Pub in St. Maarten.

Sat we stayed in pj's til about noon. We had dinner at our neighbours and hung out for the night. It was really nice of them to invite us over. I had a good time.

Sun we had a nice breakfast and then headed out shopping. I had to pick up baby gifts for a couple people, one of them is my co-worker. I got a lot of stuff picked up, on sale too! I just have to pick up the basket to put it in and then put the whole thing together. I think I did really well for the money that was collected. My il's came over for dinner and a movie. I had a nice time though I didn't sit and watch the movie with them. I had to do some last minute baby shopping and then I came home and prepped dessert.

I am so tired right now.

I went through work like a zombie on Monday and took Tuesday off. This cold has really really taken a toll on me.

Monday night was the first night that I had a full night's sleep. I don't even remember coughing through the night but Hb said I did. That's good that I didn't even remember.

Last night's sleep wasn't so great. It was disturbed at about 3 and I didn't fall back asleep til 4:30. So I am bagged this morning.

Our neighbours came down for dinner and TAR and hot tubbing. That was cool. Dinner was yummy except that I felt sick right after from a combination of the anti-biotic and wine. I ended up ruining part of the evening for everyone else. I felt so bad.

Our neighbours did enjoy the hot tub so that was really nice. They are really great people.

I'm going to take a cat nap.

Friday went to Canada Blooms after work. I had a great time but I was exhausted by the end of the night. We didn't even get to see everything which was too bad but we did see gave us a lot of inspiration.

We arrive at this past weekend. I fill my prescription for cough syrup with codeine and guess what?! It doesn't work. I didn't sleep more than 3 hours last night. Here I am tired, emotional, grumpy, sore and to top it off today is the 6th anniversary of my dad's passing.

It wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't sick.

My whining isn't over but I feel better getting this out. Thanks for getting through this.

I had half a night's sleep last night. The Nyquil only worked til about 3 and then I spent the rest of the night up coughing. I am so tired this morning. I'm really having a hard time staying awake. On top of being tired my body aches. I was coughing so hard that my body hurts. I think I may go take a light snooze. Hopefully that'll help.

Last night was nice. Had a nice steak for dinner. It was bbq'd to perfection and the veggies were awesome too. Watched a bit of tv and relaxed a bit in the softtub then it was time for bed. Nice and quiet.

So in my last post I totally forgot to mention that during the time that I was sick last week my Hb was sick and worse off than I. He hasn't fully recovered yet but he's doing a lot better than I am right now.

I sit here at my computer hacking and more or less choking because of this cough that won't go away. I wonder what in the world I have to do to kick this thing. I took so much time off last week and took yesterday off as well. As soon as I think I might be okay it comes back to bite me in twice as hard. That's damn annoying. I have quite a bit of work to do too. It's just nicely piling up at my desk. I'd like to get through the day. I really really would.

I'm drained.

So it's been a week since I last wrote. Tues was the season premiere of TAR. Spent Wed, Thu and Fri at home sick. Didn't go into work. Spent Sat and Sun at home still sick except on Sun I was hit with the mother of all colds/symptoms and I feel lousy today. Yesterday was absolutely terrible and it was so horrible that it made me cry. I am so frustrated with being sick. I wish it was just over. I haven't been this sick since first year. That was a long time ago.

Thur went to the doctor. She did blood work to see why I've been so tired and has confirmed that I have Tendonitis. Lovely eh? I now have to wear a wrist guard of some sort as to not further aggravate the problem.

So here I am today at work. I'm going to go at a slow pace and try to make it through the day. I feel bad already for taking three days off last week. I've been hot and cold and hot and cold and it just keeps going and going. I don't know if I'm coming or going.
