• Hello?

  Alright, first let’s get the obligatory greetings out of the way:

  Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you celebrating and not boycotting — I’m kind of celebrating. Not because I’m not a fan of V Day, although to be honest it’s never been a huge deal, but more because I’m only now starting to feel human and can’t summon up the enthusiasm required. Monday was the worst of it, but the last three days haven’t been a picnic either. Monday however, I was convinced death would be a great improvement. Unfortunately I had to cancel my jobs for Mon and Tues, and turn down tons of other ones for today and yesterday. I’m thinking I may work tomorrow, depending on how my night goes. Another night like last night and I may just hold off till Tuesday. You know the kind of night, waking up several time in coughing spasms so severe you end up choking. Waking up drenched in sweat and shivering — your basic nightmare. The up-side to all of this is that I”ve hardly eaten a thing all week, so I’m betting the scale will at least show an improvement, even if the thermometer or the mirror don’t.

  I haven’t been around to visit, just haven’t felt up to it. I haven’t been on the computer much at all this week, so please understand if I’m way behind in my commenting! 

  Ducky got flowers from Duckman yesterday — they are so sweet! Red roses and pink and white daises (her favorite flower) in an adorable vase with pink and red polka dots on it. Totally fits her. Both the girls made little bags of chocolate hearts and conversation hearts to give out to their friends. Hubby comes back into town tonight, so I thought I’d brave a trip to the store and get them all a little something. If nothing else, just so we have some chocolate in the house! LOL

  OK, I’m out of energy, I’ve done too much today I think – cleaned the kitchen, stripped the sheets, picked up the house. Now I’m feeling drowsy and unenergetic – I think it’s time for a short nap and another cup of herbal tea. I’ve discovered that herbal tea and honey are fantastic for sore throats and coughs — I’ve gone through a significant portion of my expansive collection. I’m going to have to restock.

  I’ll try to get around to everyone later – until then have a great one!

  Riddle Answers:

  No one answered the first one which was: What goes around the world but stays in a corner? – A Stamp. The other two were indeed fire and a river – hats off to WineCountryGirl, LIF1955, and suzyQ_darnit for nailing those ones!

  Here’s another one:

  A man was found dead in a field face down. On his back was a pack. It caused his death. How come?
