Almost Alive

I feel compelled to explain the lack of bloggage that occurred yesterday. I am sick, some weirdo crazy sinus infection sore throat thing has come to my house and has been messing with me for about a month now. I get better for a few days or a couple of weeks and then it decides that my health and general well being are not something I should have for too long. On Monday I felt odd (more so than usual) but okay, on Tuesday my nose was stuffy but I was functional. Wednesday I spent the day laid out on the couch just basically existing and hoping that I made it through to today, I only managed to turn a heel on a sock, which I suspect will have to be redone. I don't have the heart to look at it yet though. Today I'm better, but weak. I'm hoping that I will be able to finish a hat by tonight, seeing as how I've yet to cast on, that may not be a possibility. Because I know you all worry, I want you to know that the gurlies are the picture of health, which means they have absolutely no sympathy for me. None. They had cheese sandwiches and an apple with milk for dinner. Which is alot healthier than my original plan of letting them gorge themselves on Halloween candy. I think that was very, very responsible of me, no? I myself have had DayQuil for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. I don't drink hot tea, so please no one recommend that. Does anyone know of any healing properties of coffee, or how I can get my sense of smell back? As a mom it is imperative that I be able to smell a poopy diaper.
