Did You Miss Me?

Have you missed me the last few weeks?  What’s that?  You didn’t even notice I was gone?  Well, I see where we stand now.  Or maybe I did a really excellent job keeping my blog going and you didn’t notice I was mostly not around. 

You see, for the past three weeks or so, I’ve been battling a horrible respiratory system infection.  And it has been kicking my BUTT!!!  At first I thought it was just some allergies or a change in the weather.  No biggie.  Then I thought maybe it was a cold and it would subside fairly quickly.  It wasn’t until I was out to lunch with my mom that I realized it was something more. 

We were out at a place we go regularly, and even the server was like “Are you okay?”  My mom knew I was feeling rather blah, but no one else had really said anything.  I knew I was exhausted  and majorly dragging.  In fact, I was working from home so that I could nap at my leisure and fit my day job work in around my nap schedule.  Heck, one day I realized I was resting my head against my monitor at my desk. 

A trip to the doctor revealed nothing much.  She said to get rest and keep an eye on my symptoms.  And if they got worse to come back and see her.  Blargh!   

Luckily, I can take care of myself. For the most part, at least.  I’m sure my mom is ready to stop being my chauffeur and errand girl.  I also recognize that I’m lucky it’s nothing too serious.  Though, sometimes, I think it would be nice to have someone that came to take care of me.  Y’know, like the in home care services that are offered by insurance companies?   Yeah, that would be nice!

I’ve been feeling much better the past few days and I think I may be on the other side of it.  Finally!!  BTW, isn't that a great painting?  It's sick people praying for recovery + was painted by Taddeo Gaddi, a Medieval artist.
