12.26.2006 :: December 26th, boxing day but here it's messy day
Presents were received, presents were given. That's the way it is. It was wonderful, really how could it not be. Now I sit here, my home looking a bit like a small bomb went off and I'm ignoring it sufficiently. I'll get around to it. Perhaps I should go out and take advantage of the after Christmas sales. I still do have a bit of shopping to finish for our December 30th version of Family Christmas. Perhaps I should tackle the small mountain of dishes waiting in the sink. Let's not even mention the mildew that is having it's own party in the shower. Please.
But all I seem to be able to muster is sitting here, amongst all the mess and quiet in my ratty pajamas and Christmas sweatshirt. That's about all the ambition I have for today. For now, anyway. I'm getting sick in a not so good way. I've been fighting a cold for a week and half and just starting to lose the battle. It seems to be settling into my chest in a not so flattering way. I will wait it out another day but I do believe this is a bronchitis relapse. I was never so sick as when bronchitis set in last winter and I will not be stubborn enough to wait as long as I did to go to the doctor. Did you hear that? I won't be stubborn and wait too long. Raise your needles if you believe me!
I hope yours was wonderful. The highlight of my Christmas day did not have to do with anything wrapped. It was time with my nephew who is going to college in Florida. Time to talk and get to really know that adult that he is turning into. That is a wonderful Christmas.
Now, please, excuse me while I hack up a lung.

Oh dear, I hope you beat it early,I have been fighting a nasty virus for about a month and really thought I would get it on Xmas Day as three out of five boys had it and the only way I have avoided it was the fact I wa sat work and not breathing with them,LOL
It will get me I have no doubt,
Get well soon and have a happy New Year!!!!!

Oh, I know that after-Christmas "I am just going to SIT here SITTING" feeling. But a cold, ugh. Feel better.

I am right there with you Sandy. Nasty junky cough, dirty dishes everywhere and tons of things to put away.
But I will just sit here for a while in my pjs with my knitting and a movie. Oh yeah, and my box of kleenex!
Hope you are feeling better soon!

Phone the doctor! You may not even have to go in person; they might call in a prescription for you, which could reduce the number of people you have to encounter.

Fly thee to the doctor please! The longer you wait the longer the recovery time and the longer you'll feel like kaka! Just saying. Get well soon sweetie.

I had bronchitis in October and was very sick. Please run, do not walk, to the doctor if you even THINK you are getting bronchitis!
Merry Christmas

Take the poison! Take the poison! The myrrh, of course I mean. Also, did you hear me before? STEAM. Lots and lots of steam. Don't make me come down there!

I'm so sorry that you're sick. Go to the doctor straight away!

Sounds like you had a great Christmas, now go get an albuterol inhaler pronto so you can chase that bronchitis away before it takes hold, it works!

Happy Day after Christmas. I am sitting here reading bloglines and coughing. I think I have been sick since November. I had bronchitis for Xmas. Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry about the getting-sick part . . . don't you hate when a cold can't quite make up its mind to attack full-force or just waffle around, making you feel "icky" without feeling actually sick for days before it finally commits itself and everything kicks in? If I'm going to get a cold, I'd rather get it over with all at once!
Feel better--and I'm glad that Christmas was good for you!

Feel better soon!!!!
That is sweet you enjoyed your nephew so much.
