Who's the Sickest of Them All

Wow, I just looked at the date of my last blog. I feel like such a loser! I have not written in weeks. However, I must insert a disclaimer here...I have been sick. This winter, I have caught every virus within 50 feet of my being. Seriously. It started with being hospitalized for the flu in December and has continued with me catching a cold or the flu about every other week.

In other words, I haven't felt like writing. My head has been too clogged to think straight, or my stomach has been too roller coaster to sit up and type on a laptop. Ugg.

I have a feeling, though (as I am coughing my head off), that things just might be turning around.  And how do I know this? Well, it's how my brain works. I usually see my blogs forming in my brain--those wild and random thoughts--and I sit down and write about them shortly thereafter. With said maladies, though, I still think those thoughts, but they vanish before I can write them down. They had become all muddled and crazy, and then poof, they were gone. Which left me with nothing to write about.  Today, though — cough, cough — I am actually forming thoughts and then writing about them. It's nothing short of a miracle! My brain is once again engaged.

It feels so good to be sharing again. To converse like a real adult, not like some whining child. Example — my head hurts. Can I have a Kleenex? I'm hungry/thirsty, I need NyQuil/aspirin, etc. You know what I'm talking about. I sounded like a 6-year-old, and this went on for weeks. I was miserable. And now? Well, today I feel so much better, almost normal.

I am on a roll and will be blogging frequently in the coming days and weeks. There's so much to say, and now, I might just have the energy to say it. I hope!
