But only just.




Sick, sick and more sick. I don't know what kind of virus we stumbled upon by my god...it has phases...or something. You think it's over and BAM, it returns in another form. I've still got the blasted thing and it's been like two weeks. Worst yet is my youngest child. I hate it when the little ones get it bad. He's normally such a cheerful little guy, all smiles and giggles...but he has been sleeping for the last two days, feverish, and he cries when he coughs, can't talk. I feel for him too, I know how that second wave is...feels like your chest is on fire. I carry him to the bathroom and back... He hasn't eaten much in the last week and a half, looking thin and weak...*sniffsniff cries* I am hoping he is on the mend though, he was perking up last night a bit, right before bedtime. He ate some canned mandarin oranges and some pedialyte stuff. He's been asleep now for nearly 12 hours since that time. Hopefully... *crosses fingers* All of this has pulled me into a mild depression as well.



I'm sure the weather isn't helping, such ups and downs....warm and rain and then bitter cold, wind and snow... Right now the snow has melted but it is frigid. I don't hate winter, so long as the snow remains on the ground. It's bright and pleasing to the eyes. I can't stand this brown, dirty junk...dead everything. And OMG! The potholes!!!! Our road is literally falling apart at the seams. I say that because it is seamed, yes, like a sidewalk so where each slab of concrete meets, it is crumbling so every few yards there's a nice axle-snapping gaping hole. THUMP THUMP THUMP. You should hear the empty gravel trucks as they crash by.



So, you know, sorry I haven't been around and stuff. My message center is a mess...haven't responded to much and I'm thinking of just wiping it clean.

But it is not all bad news, no no. Thanks to my good friend ~LycanthSS and her compassion Helping me keep my chin up and a fine job she's done, I don't know what I'd do without her!



And lastly, after some 14ish years of dial-up, I am now surfing on high-speed internet. Unfortunately the event was down-played by worry for my sick child but I was able to upload my latest job in twelve minutes as opposed to my husband's estimated 6-8 hours it would have taken over the phone lines. So I can honestly say I'm fairly pleased.
