Well, I’d planned to have my Food Friday offering ready to post today. That didn’t happen, and my Sourdough Crumpet recipe will likely have to be rain-checked.

Last Tuesday, the sore throat started and it all went downhill from there. I seriously can’t remember the last time I’ve been this sick, fever and feeling completely awful. I think I’m on the way out of it, at least I hope I am. It got to the point of just one day blending one misery into another. It’s still not better, it’s still not gone, but I think it’s just morphed into just a killer cold now. I don’t know. I could’ve just jinxed myself, ugh.

It’s been the kind of sick that you can’t remember the last time you brushed hair…because you just don’t care. I’d treated myself to some photography equipment – a portrait lighting set and a light box cube thing, they arrived last Wednesday, and I just opened the boxes today. With this kind of sick nothing matters but the misery to go away, lol. And that’s the truth. If there’s one thing I hate next to nausea, it’s sore throats. Especially the kind of throat that swallowing makes you cry! I don’t whine and I was reduced to whining and tears one of those days.

I’d decided that if there wasn’t some semblance of normalcy returning by today, I was calling the doctor today – I think I can safely skip the doctor, but, I’m still not ruling it out. I’ve a long way to go before I’m back on track, and I’m hoping it starts to happen quick because I am NOT handling this well. I do not like being sick, lol, I know, no one likes to be sick! I get more frustrated at being hindered. Normally I just power my way through the average cold, but this critter, whatever it is, has kicked my butt completely and I’d no choice but to surrender. I can only hope rest and more rest help to beat it, because it’s really getting old…

And now, back to my blankie and tissues….
