Ugh...sick.

I have not slept through the night since last Saturday night.

I am becoming well-acquainted with the sounds of our house and our street in the "wee, small hours of the morning".

I have gone through two boxes of kleenex so far.

I have a husky voice.

I have actually finished a magazine from cover to cover.

I have an incredible husband who goes out and gets me movies and soup and a neti-pot.

Sometimes it is good to be forced to slow down.

But I think I'm ready to retire the kleenex now....
