Post-Christmas Ramblings
Wow, what a December this has turned out to be. I literally had no time to check my email (except for work-related stuff) or to catch up with all of you; I've barely had any time to go online at all. *sigh* I've missed you.
Since my last post on December 22, I've spent most of my time at my parents' house preparing for their Christmas party, seeing friends who are in the area, and recovering from a stomach virus. I do want to write about the fun and festive times, but right now I have to take it easy if I don't want to ruin my ski trip plans for New Year's Eve with a relapse.
Yesterday was simply awful, awful, awful. Even the springiness of my bed was too much for the roiling commotion in my tummy. The past two nights and days were spent curled up on the carpeted floor with a basin next to my head. Thankfully I didn't need it; there is something quite appalling about "stomach stuff" making its way back up and the loss of control experienced while throwing up. *sigh* Today is the first day that I've had solid food in a while and I'm feeling much better.
I missed posting at Christmas. :( I hope all of you who celebrated it had a wonderful day. Mine was spent at midnight mass with family; later that day, more family and friends came over for dinner: Mom's pasta, Honey Baked Ham, roast beef, and a variety of salads with ice cream and pie for dessert.
I hope to catch up with all of you in the next few days.
