Ok...This past week has been the busiest of the year...but I expected it, it happens every year. Symphony Concerts (I sing in them with the chorus), rehearsals, getting all the gifts and cards ready to mail, decorating, cleaning the house for company, along with all the myriad other beginning of the month errands...I wonder for a while if it'll ever slow down.
Saturday I woke up feeling like i had a cold just waiting to pounce on me, but knew that I couldn't let it. After all, I had two concerts to sing in...so the cold would just have to wait. I loaded myself up with all kinds of herbal remedies, slathered on some Vicks, and lots of naps. Two days, two concerts and a zillion Ricola later, i made it through the weekend, only to get a call at 3 this morning from my best friend to pick her up from the Emergency Room. I didn't mind, honest...I'd do that for anyone, unless I was on my sick bed. I got home and couldn't sleep for a couple of hours, and when i finally did, the alarm went off way too early. So I told Jym i was sleeping in....no running the errands I'd planned today. There was nothing that couldn't wait just one more day, after all. So...I've spent the day in bed so far...it's nice, but I can't talk...the laryngitis waited until this morning to hit me...good timing, I think. DH is running some of the errands for me, after all, we do have to eat...LOL. Anyway...i'm sitting here, bored out of my skull. We did our homeschool lessons, we've eaten breakfast and lunch (thanks to my ever independent 6 year old), and we've checked email, and newsgroup messages....napped a couple of times....now i'm beside myself with boredom. SO.....I just pulled out my drawer where i keep all my beading supplies, and i'm sitting in my bed, making beaded ornament hangers. Hey, at least i'm doing *something* productive, or at least it appears that way.
What do the rest of you do when you're restless, but too sick to do much?
