Monday

I'm feeling a bit better. I finished my ZPac antibiotics Sunday morning. I still have my cough, but it's not a "burning my lungs and wanting to rip the bloody things out" kind of cough. It's a dry cough with lots of fatigue. Yes, I'm very tired because I can't get any sleep. So I have been spending a lot of time on the internet playing around. Not much else to do except watch TV which is boring as hell.

Sunday night was really bad. Nothing on TV to watch. The Walking Dead is in hiatus until February 14th. Then it starts back up with 8 more episodes. Strange how some shows do 8 and 8 instead of just playing reruns for the holidays and then going back to regular routine. It all sucks.

I found out over the weekend that David will be off for the Christmas/New Year shutdown at work in about 2 weeks. Yes, I have exactly 2 weeks to get my shit together to figure out a game plan to keep him busy and leave me alone while he's home. Oh, and I found out it's not just for one week that he will be home, but for 2 weeks shutdown vacation. Crap on toast. What am I going to do? There isn't enough work to keep him busy all day. I might as well save some money and run away from home in order to get peace and quiet. The man gets bored and bothers me, and if that's not all he sends the puppies into where ever I am to bother me. Oh well, it's only 2 weeks. I'll muddle through it all.

It's Thursday

Ok, I'm back, so some of you, that are my faithful, loving, readers have noticed. Thank you all for the get well wishes. I'm finally able to do some things around here that I haven't been able to do in a long time, like cleaning. But let me tell you something first. I got a $100 Amazon.com gift card from my sweet, wonderful step daughter this Yule. I used the shit out of that card and got myself a bunch of awesome much wanted and needed things. One was the soundtrack for Season I and II of the Vikings TV show. AWESOME STUFF when you play it loud with earphones and sit with your eyes closed. Just FUCKING AWESOME MUSIC!!! I love the TV show and can't wait until Feb 19th. Season III starts on the History Channel. Love it!

I need to calm down now. WHEW! Just breath.

Anywho, I got some Figma Sakura pens and pencils for drawing and doing some of my Zentangles and Mandalas. I also got 2 moleskin traveler sketchbooks for when I'm waiting at the doctor's office and 2 spiraled sketchbooks.

Spunky in lower right, Lucy on the left, and Pebbles(aka Squirt)in the top part of the bed.
Notice all the blankets. They love to make nests. You would think they were birds, jeeze.

The puppies got rawhide bones and toys, of course, as if they needed more toys in this world. David got a nice large orthopedic bed for them, Spunky is getting old and needs it for his tired bones. He seems to sleep a lot better since we got it for them. They share it reasonably well for small dogs. No fights yet, (knock wood).

 This year started off with a bang. I got sick with the flu. Thought I was gonna die. I kid you not. It was bad. Then on top of that the cold, wet, misty weather took its toll on my body. Yes, it was getting to the point that I was knocking myself out with my pain drugs just to ease the pain. But now, this week is starting to clear up for a while, I hope longer. Only thing is, is that winter is still around and will be here for another month or so. It doesn't start warming up into the 60's around here until the end of March.

*heavy sigh* I love my heating pad and drugs. *heavy sigh*
