I'm back! I missed this blog. I missed my ladybugs. So here is the first entry for 2005...



I am so glad the madness of December is over. I, believing in living the simple life, do not care for the insanity that prevails every December. I keep the commercialism that hits us the day after Halloween at bay. However, it is difficult to keep the exhaustion away that hits every year at this time. On December 23, I came down with Laryngitis. It was so severe I was having difficulty breathing. I managed to make it into work on December 24th because I know my boss would never in a million years believe an employee could actually fall sick on December 24th. The hitch is I work in reception in a medical type office. The phone rings about 200 times a day. I don't need to explain further how that went. Fortunately for me my lovely motherly co-worker had compassion on me and told me not to answer the phone. Instead I did data entry and was dismissed early to go home and rest.Anyway, I digress. What was I getting at anyway? I had a point I am sure. Oh yes, exhaustion. With the exhaustion I became ill. The Laryngitis turned into a wicked sore throat/cold. finally forced me to go to the drop-in clinic on New Years day. A throat infection and Bronchitis. Yay. I now sit here when my germ-ridden body should be in bed. I have no philosophical thoughts. I have no words of wisdom. I just feel that empty feeling I get after every Christmas. The kids are going back to school tomorrow and I miss them already. I will take down the tree tomorrow too. Sigh...Seeing as I had a point to this but can't seem to know what it was I bid you all good night and Happy New Year.
