the beginning of the end

Oh my... it has been a while.
Shortly after the last post we experienced the first of our snow storms...yay fun.
Then came my birthday...yay me.
And then we had the school Christmas season...yay fun.

Then came Friday the 19th, or as I like to call it "the beginning of the end." The beginning of the huge snow fall and let me tell you: driving twice to the airport during/after a huge snow storm is not my idea of a good time. After the first drop off, I shovel my way into the driveway (the snow plow comes early on my street, its a blessing and a curse--mainly when I have to shovel through 1 1/2 feet of snow and ice). I leave the rest of the shoveling and snow fun to the 18 year old and 4 year old--both fully bundled. After dropping off my other sister at the airport in the evening, I knew I was sick and I had dropped off both my sources of support to the airport. Bad for me.

I've basically been sick ever since, several waves of sickness. Nothing like having a houseful of people re-infecting each other and picking up new things. On the bright side, between the bouts of fever and delerium, I have knit. On the down side, my newly married sister returned from her honeymoon without the camera charger. It's like the camera comes up with new and inventive ways to mess with me.
