I'm sick. Blimey!!!
So Saturday I took my niece's engagement photos, or tried to at least, because we had no clue it was going to be so cold. By the time we got to the place we wanted to take them at, we were experiencing record breaking cold, it was -4 with a windchill of -7. In Texas people....in TEXAS!!!
My hands were so cold that I was in pain and couldn't even feel the buttons on the camera, my camera was having a really hard time focusing, and I knew right then and there that I was done for.
This morning I woke up with a really sore throat, running a bit of a fever, have chills, headache and am just not happy at all. I can't get sick, there is just no time for me to be sick, I have so much going on this week. But I've realized it is what it is, and so I'm having to cancel some plans I had with family. It sucks but there's nothing I can do. I am just hoping that I'm fine by Friday, otherwise I'm in big big trouble.
Anyway, sorry this is late going up, I am just not feeling well at all....but here it is, nonetheless.
As I look outside my window:::
Beautiful blue skies but still horrible low temps. We've had temps in the negatives this whole weekend, and seems to continue throughout this week. Right now it's 29 degrees F and it feels amazing.
Right now I am:::
I just sat on the couch, I'm not well but I can't just sit back, I need to get things done so just finished vacuuming both living rooms, am busy switching laundry back and forth from washer to dryer, and I even reorganized some of my kitchen cabinets. Don't ask me why, I'm weird like that.
Thinking and pondering:::
On being sick and what I'm going to do. I have a full list of food I have to make and bake for Saturday. I have to get Christmas presents on Friday afternoon. We have bought 3 presents and that is IT. So Friday when hubby gets home from work, the 4 of us are heading to the mall and finishing the shopping. It's not something I'm looking forward to because I'm pretty certain it's going to be completely insane, but unfortunately hubby doesn't get paid until Friday and we are still struggling to get back on our feet after he was laid off. In between the Christmas shopping and the Christmas Even baking and cooking on Saturday morning, I need to fit in a grocery trip. Don't ask me how I'm going to do this, I just don't know.
On my bedside table:::
Junk....books, water glass, a water bottle, necklace, earrings.....I really need to clean that table out.
On my tv:::
General Hospital
Dr. Phil
Vlogs
Lots of Christmas movies on the DVR.
Listening to:::
Silence. My kids are on Winter break and they've been sleeping in and when I mean, sleeping in, Im mean two teenagers sleeping......and that usually entails being in bed until 1 or 2pm. Crazy.
On the menu for this week:::
Monday - Fettucine Alfredo, Collard Greens with Garlic
Tuesday - Slow Cooker Thick and Chunky Beef Stew, Green Beans
Wednesday - Special Roast Chicken and Potatoes
Thursday - Pork Schnitzel and Rice
Friday - Out to eat....Christmas shopping, Grocery Shopping
Saturday - Christmas Eve
Sunday - Christmas Day - Roast, Mashed Potatoes, Spinach
On my to do list:::
Kitchen.....
Housework.....
Laundry.....
What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Working on Part 15 of Sophie's Universe. So frustrated because I want so badly to finish the blanket, but haven't had time and doubt I'll have any at all until after Christmas.
My simple pleasure:::
Tea with milk
Lesson learned the past week:::
That I'm sometimes a bad mom, and that is perfectly fine. We're not perfect moms, we all fail sometimes, we all forget to do this or that, and we don't always have it together. It's fine, it really is :)
Looking around the house:::
House is clean, smells clean. It is fully decorated for Christmas which makes it look so homey and cozy.
From the camera:::
One of the pictures I took for my niece's Engagement.
Poor Sweetie! That just stinks!! It's just the worst to be sick at Christmas. Sending prayers that you will feel so much better by the end of the week and have lots more energy! ONe day at a time sweet Gal.
ReplyDeleteThe photos turned out beautiful I'm sure - so maybe that makes sickness a little more worth it? Lol I love the one you shared!

Blessings Sandra and feel better. xoxo

Hope you are feeling better! Must be lots of germs in the air. Two of us just canceled at the same time on an annual get together because we're both sick. UGH.
