End of the Year

It's been so long since I've blogged! So much has been going on, I probably won't even remember all of it.

Currently, I'm hanging out at home after an excellent Christmas. Last year wasn't so great so I was a little concerned about this year's. I headed to Goderich on Christmas Eve to be with my Grandma. The drive up was really good due to the rain: the back roads were clear! Unfortunately, once getting to Goderich I ended up driving all over town trying to locate some Eggnog. I finally bought the last two cartons at the fifth store. Christmas Eve was spent with friends and family and way too much food. Another crazy Christmas morning at Grandma's, Karen was given a guitar and she was so excited! In the afternoon I hooked up my wii and Grandma and I played some bowling and golf. Dinner was spent at my Aunt Judy's and dinner was excellent. I spent most of the evening playing with the dog (it really made me want a dog, but I don't think the cats would let me do that).

After Christmas Sharon came to visit and we had a night of Wii fun. We were totally addicted to Dancing with the Stars. Unfortunately, the next day I woke up with a wicked headache. I thought it was from the beer and the wii. It was not. I've been sick since then, so just about two weeks now. I've never been sick for this long and I hate it. After a week I decided to go to the doctor and he believes I have bronchitis. Blech! The antibiotics make me nauseous and give me a metallic taste all day and night. I also have $70 cough medicine (and no I don't have benefits). It has codeine in it and I had forgotten that codeine and I don't get along. I actually don't sleep well on anything that is supposed to help you sleep. I've only been able to sleep for two hours at a time for the past two weeks (so lots of naps) and crazy-ass dreams. I'm looking forward to getting over this!
