Little Joys!

It is sooooo good to be back in the land of the living.  I had 2 terribly sick days of sleeping and sweating (don't I sound attractive!  But I promise I've showered since then) and one moderately sick day where I only filled one empty tissue box with my nasal waste (instead of the 2 a day previously used).  


It's a joy to be out the other end of it all and to be able to appreciate doing little things  like:

- Grocery shopping ... and boy!  I got some really good deals today --- $1 off 2 L 1% milk; 50% off Oikos yogurt;  a Burt's Bees lip balm marked down to $1; and a little bag of honey peanuts ('cause a girl needed to revive her tired self after all that shopping and bargain excitement).

- Making some yummy corn and bacon chowder for supper.  (The girls were awfully glad not to have to eat Asian noodles again tonight!)

- And being able to do a little housework ... 'cause after you've been sneezing and honking your way 'round the house in your sweat-stained jammies and worn down scuffs (slippers), you need to get those germs out of your house ASAP!


PS - I don't think I was quite as excited to scour my toilet as this young miss is!  I guess even I have more of a life than some people.








And now on top of all this joy at almost being well again, I get to stroll my way through a half Friday tomorrow, contemplate a yard sale weekend AND have a stat holiday on Monday.  (Victoria Day in Canada.)


Ahhh!  Things are looking up, people!
