What did I miss? I missed finishing shopping for a gift for Doug. I missed making and delivering Valentine cards to Rose's neighborhood friends. Doug stepped in and was able to get a couple of them delivered. I got a great delivery of flowers, which we tried to keep in the bedroom with me, but any smell good or bad was a trigger for my stomach. I'm still not able to fully enjoy them yet. I missed the play The Gruffalo at Children's Theatre last night. Doug still took Rose, and they had a really good time. I'm going to see if I can trade in my unused ticket, because I LOVE the plays at CTC. I missed seeing Rose open her Valentine gift - a cute Webkinz monkey with Valentine hearts all over it. I heard it was a big hit.
Last winter on a three day weekend I was sick that weekend too. I was supposed to spend three days scrapbooking away from home, and on Friday when I was almost done packing to go, the stomach flue hit me like a ton of bricks. Never got well enough to even make one day of it. I was bummed because it was a chance to spend a weekend with a whole group of women I had never met before, who graciously were allowing me to join them. I sometimes like adventures like that.
I'm not really complaining, as I know these things happen and it's a small blip on the larger radar of life. I also know others are dealing with far more serious situations and trials. But I can surely sympathize with those of you who have gotten dropped by the bugs going around this winter.
Anyways, belated Happy Valentine's Day!

Oh, so sorry to hear you were hit with that stomach bug...and on Valentine's Day too.
I hope you will soon be back to your normal fun self. :)
Go AWAY illness season! We're ready to be done.
Hope you're feeling better today... I know that being down and out is the pits, but it sounds like you were well taken care of and at least got some good R&R!!
Hugs!
