Not much...sniffle, sniffle

Another mediocre entry, I don't have the energy or creativity to think of something overly witty today...not because it's been a bad day, but I sadly have a dreaded cold.

Now, those who know me will recognize the fact that a cold for me is similar to a death bed for others. Most colds of mine become pneumonia and I am baffled what to do with it. I can't take any drugs, so I started taking my puffers even though I know it has yet to hit my lungs, I have the saline drops (useless beyond) and am gargling with salt and water every time I go to the bathroom - lets just say, I will need to go buy a new box of salt tomorrow. So frustrating...and no idea how I caught it, I'll guess the Dr's office or hospital, the usual place that people get sick! So, everyone cross your fingers and toes that I can stop it and "cure"it before it becomes anything big, this is what I get for having a compromised immune system. No doubt someone sneezed in NB and the darn cool wind blew the germs my way.

For a quick note, wow, time is going fast, another Friday is here already, I have to admit, my work weeks never flew by this fast! And it's suppose to be 24 Degree's tomorrow, so as I am out on the deck, sniffling away, I'll think of most of you at work counting down the minutes to the end of your work day. I managed to get a fair amount accomplished today, I keep reading online sites that say "nesting" is a sign that labour is approaching...interesting concept, I think it's moreso that I don't want to be throwing together a suitcase of stuff at the last minute, or doing laundry the second I come home, or having to cook meals when I escape from the hospital. It's just called organizational skills in my world! I had a lovely pedicure today - so, check that off the list, if the rest of me is going to look like crap, at least the toes will be pretty. I managed to get a few dishes of food in the freezer that we can just pop in the oven when we are on our own, even though I will happily admit, Darren does do most of the cooking (he enjoys it, really). And I did get the house cleaned and more laundry done. This is not to say I'm ready, I'm going to greatly enjoy the 13 days before the surgery and hope Miss Greta stays put and I will work on the realization that a little person with only 2 legs, not 4 will be joining us.

So, see I warned you, nothing too funny tonight. I'm off to gargle with the salt water again, and call it a night. I am booking up quick so I have no time to be sick, between specialist, nutritionist, OB Doc appts, plus the essentials: Hair appts and lunch dates, I'm running out of time in the calendar! I guess that is a good thing, although I'm having a lot of "last supper or last lunch dates", I'm starting to get a complex and thinking some of my friends think my life is over, SIGH! I guess life as I know it is...my clothing dollars will now have to be divided between me and babysitters!!! On a happier note (less shopping dollars make me sad), we are putting final thoughts on our New Hampshire getaway - minus baby. Yes, I'm mean and cruel, but NH shopping is not for baby girl. Thankfully, I have lucked out and have a great sitter that will just love a little one to watch and play with, well, as much playing as an 8 week old can do. And give me some credit I'm not leaving her with the Dog!

And a welcome to the world to two little ones this week, Miss Molly Brown and Mr. Hunter MacKinnon!!! Both arrived at the beginning of the week and are hopefully resting well tonight in their new homes....
