still here

All,

Hope to post very soon. Just wanted to give you a quick update. My body finally called a halt to all the work I've been doing and during my business trip this week as I got hit hard with a bad bad cold. Ended up staying in my hotel room while my boss and supervisor did the trainings on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning. Been home with the kitties since then.

Starting to feel more human but haven't had a good sleep in my bed yet. Going to give it another try tonight. Every time I try sleeping horizontal my chest gets too congested and I cough up a lung. So I've been dozing on the couch sitting up. Having said all that...feeling MUCH MUCH MUCH better. Sweetie says I know longer sound like I smoke three packs a day. LOL

Anyway...haven't done much but go through tissues and mass quantities of nyquil while drooling in front of the boob tube. LOL At least I got caught up on SGA  and Supernatural.

As for the news in the family I alluded to earlier, we'll know more in January.

I did see an old friend on one of my trips...and that was very good. I haven't hung out with her in a very long time. It was really great to see her and that did my spirit a world of good.

If the weather cooperates, my last trip is scheduled this Monday/Tuesday...and then...I'll be back to a more normal schedule..and a holiday break!!!!

So hang in there. More Sneer is a comin'!

Yay that you're better. Yay for time spent with kitties. Yay for catching up with good shows. Yay for friendship. Yay for more Sneer.

I ... have nothing more to say, really. I ... that is ... no, it's better if I stop now, before the babble really breaks through.

Hang in there. This too shall pass.

Thinking good thoughts for you!

Dear Stillrose, I am sorry to hear about your cold. I know it's a real nuisance: just a month ago, had to travel on business with a cold so bad, that I ended up in Stambul airport, missing the only connection to my next destination, and had to join the bosses a day later with red eyes, running nose and a very wuzzy head. Take care, have lots of hot tea with lemon and honey (or better yet, hot milk with honey, if you can stand it), and let your family coddle you. For really bad cough there is popular remedy that never fails: take a black turnip, cut a shallow hole in it and fill the resulting cavity with honey. Then take a spoonfol or two of the resulting liquid once it appears. Get well soon!

Don't worry we'll hang in there.

Feel better and we'll wait for you and the muse to get back to "Sneer" - we're not going anywhere *g*

I'm so sorry you got sick! I'm thrilled you're feeling better and that things are finally starting to return to "normal". Take your time on the writing, I know you're not going anywhere so I'm not worried about Sneer becoming an eternal WIP. Focus on getting better and relaxing and only then should you feed your fans! :-)

Merry Christmas!!
Take your time and recover. A bad cold, as yours is, can leave nasty remainders if you go back to work too soon. And Christmas is the best time ever for cuddling too ;-).
