Been in a Fog

Hello Everyone! I am writing because for the most part I have been silent for the last two weeks except for a couple of responses on other member's blogs. I have had a million and one things going on in my life from having my family from up North (RI) decide that they are going to visit for 3 days, then buy a house on that visit, leaving me in charge of the closing details while they go an ready their old home for the move.

This is my late sister's husband, my brother-in-law but they had been married so long (for 25 years it would have been last week) he is as close as my brother, and 4 of my 5 nieces (YES! ALL girls! aged 10,15,16,18,22) will be coming with him. During this time, my beautiful fiance Tracie got sick. She is the type that never takes a day out of work and she ended up taking three days out and sleeping a weekend away too. I was Dr. Mike and caterer during that time for her because she wasn't able to.

Unfortunately, as it usually goes, once the patient gets better, the care taker gets sick. I have not got AS sick as she did but I got sick and still am. I got a chest and head cold that has gotten my ears infected. I am very dizzy when I move and very stuffy. I have been sleeping now like she was for the last day and a half. I am hoping to kick it before the weekend comes. Unlike her, I am alone at home during the day being sick. She has to be at work. So I am moving around the house instead of resting as much as I should.

I am getting better I can tell though. I am getting frustrated at not being able to breathe lol. unlike before where I was too tired to care about it. That really makes a difference. I am sitting up now instead of constantly laying down and feeling miserable. I can feel miserable upright haha. AND,.if I can do that, maybe I can use the computer. SO here I am now writing this. I have to admit though, I AM getting tired at this point in the writing. I am not a super fast typer but the movements in my body make me struggle for breathe. I have to keep my mouth open now which I didn't at the start which means it is time to wrap this up and get a drink of water, lay back in my recliner and get some rest.

I am still not as well as I want to be but I am a little better than I was yesterday. I hope that continues so I need to make sure I do not over do it. I just hate being away from everyone and everything! I will talk to you all soon... I hope :-)
