Since I finally have a morning where I feel somewhat alive, I figured I needed to make the most of it and try to catch up on a few things just in case the dreaded lergy manages to rear its head again and knock me out again!
Have I only been sick, 6 days? It feels like forever! The dizziness, waves of nausea, throbbing aches all through my body, my head feeling like it wanted to exlode every time I coughed. Sleep and wakefulness alternating in short rotas, coughing fits that made me choke and gag, sweats and chills, listlessness and a general malaise of feeling sorry for myself.
Yet mine was a very "minor" case of upper respiratory, and thankfully, because of how "well" I take care of my body, I managed to avert it getting to my lungs and causing me greater issues. Trust me, I know I am well blessed, and extremely thankful to be so ... I feel so badly for those dealing with a worse case of this. My poor hubby, for instance, is still fighting off some aspects that were always far worse than mine. And he also takes good nutritional care of his body. Our doctor is always so pleased with us at how we (usually) stay free of these opportunistic ailments. I guess we were due for it then, so hopefully this is my worst for the next couple of years.
It totally messed up my work goals for the week. I have so much to catch up on over the next few days. I am so thankful for AVON's new social media center, as I'd already scheduled so many posts for throughout the week, so - even though I wasn't online - certain AVON posts popped up on my Facebook profile and business pages. Without that, my AVON identity would have shrivelled into silence these past 6 days.
On Tuesday, at my doctor visit, though, I received a silver lining to my cloud. I had lost a few more pounds, and broken another barrier, and am now 79lbs lighter than I was when I began. Of that, I am well pleased!
Friday was the anniversary of a young friend's death. April 13th 1982, a C130 left Mildenhall AFB on what was colloquially called "the Turkey trot". The night before, we had bumped into our friend, DZ (Mark Dzierzak) as he was driving the crew van around the base and he swore us to silence that he was back, as he was goig to surprise his girlfriend (another friend of ours) with a marriage proposal. Sadly, that was the last time we would see him. The plane exploded in the air near Incirlik.
He was one of 9 crew members lost.

I have made it out today, we went to do grocery shopping and I survived, LOL. Definitely been getting the run around with getting my phone replaced, that's for sure!
We picked up Chinese for lunch and hubby restocked my brochures in my rack, there in Mei Mei House. They forgot my steamed rice, so I saved on calories there! My taste buds are still not working properly though. I haven't really "tasted" any of the food I've eaten today. I guess I have to wait on that then.

Have a good afternoon, my friends!
