...and I haven't posted since the Sunday after Thanksgiving because I've been terribly sick with a viral respiratory infection. I have been unable to get out of bed all damn week! Taking massive amounts of antibiotics and fluids and am finally able to sit up and use the computer today...although I now feel like I am at the level of normal sick - just racking cough, sneezing and occasional chills. Wow, seems like I missed a lot in the world...
