a little american cheer

on a poor english day...

today I've come down with yet another cold/sinus infection. Actually I think this is the one which has been building for a couple of weeks now. I've been feeling really tired lately, and achy, and it's here now. Unfortunately my sinuses aren't cooperating and draining, just being sore and painful and I have one heck of a fever. You should see my cheeks-- soldier circles bright red on both of them. Oy.

I haven't been able to get warm all day-- that's been the biggest clue. I've been wearing flannel pj bottoms, socks & shoes, a long-sleeved fleece nightgown that goes down to my ankles, and my warmest fleece jumper on top of that!! Still chilly.

Somebody put me out of my misery.

The american cheer part arrived about lunchtime-- a package from my Mom & Dad! It had our new checks from our new account in Columbus, some Famous Amos cookies-- yummy, some chex mix and some cheese on cheese crackers for Andy-- (actually we both like those!) and some scrummy hot tamales. The most notable treat was definitely the pack of Peeps!!!!! whohooo peeps! Thanks Mom & Dad!!

perfect timing i must say.
