Hello Friends, I’m so sorry I kind of disappeared there. I’d been busy with regular work stuff and a dear friend of mine who came to visit. All was great but then just as I was getting all excited about finally have some time off from work for the Thanksgiving holiday, I ended up catching a cold. Yep, my big plans of going out to enjoy nature, work on projects, etc. were all put on hold because I ended up with a cold Wednesday.
Needless to say I was in a bit of a grumpy mood on Thanksgiving. My dear husband took care of me, getting me cold meds and cooking delicious comfort food while I stayed in bed for the most part. I was so annoyed that my big plans had to be postponed. To top it off I couldn’t read much because of the sinus pressure from my congestion. So I turned to my trusted Friends DVDs to keep me entertained. Seriously, for me this show never gets old.
But as I was feeling all sorry for myself I had a bit of a wake up call after hearing some sad news from family acquaintances. It just reminded me to put things in perspective. So I started thinking that really, this cold came at a good time because I didn’t have to miss work, we weren’t traveling or anything so no issues there and today I’ve been feeling much better (thanks to all the rest I’ve had) that I actually accomplished some things around the house I had been putting off.
So I hope for those of you who were celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday that it was lovely and filled with good food. Forgive me for being so behind on blog visiting but I hope to catch up on that this week. I can’t wait to hear what you’ve been up to. I have some book reviews to tell you about, library books, etc. Have a wonderful week and more bookish talk soon!
I’m glad to hear you’re feeling much better, Iliana. Looking forward to your bookish post.
So glad to hear that you are feeling better, Iliana! I hate those colds, but we all have them from time to time. Our wind here in winter always brings me more pollen than I wish for and the consequences that come with that. Have I said that I hate cedar and being allergic to it? Ha! As to timing and gratitude, I will say that I’ve experienced that ‘wake-up’ call myself now and then. How fun that you had your Friends episodes to watch – great show and so funny. You take care and share things as you have time and inspiration. We’ll all be around. Big hugs! Stay warm! (I know – we’re not in the mega-cold place, but still…I get cold!)
🙂 Although we never want to get sick during a holiday, at least you were able to rest without the guilt of missing work. Having a caring husband is something to be grateful for on any day, not just Thanksgiving.
Melody – Thank you so much! I am feeling better although still have some congestion but hopefully all gone soon.
Kay – I keep thinking this Fall has just be so weird and I am always meeting people at work so it’s probably no wonder I caught a cold but it was good to just rest as there was nothing else I could do. And, again just good to think about how despite not wanting to be sick at least it’s a temporary discomfort. I love Friends. I never get tired of that show 🙂
Jen Mullen – You are so right. My poor husband cooked, baked, ran errands, he was super so no complaining.
Glad to hear you’re feeling better. Being sick is never fun, but at the holidays? YUCK.
