After almost two weeks of fighting an upper respiratory infection (and the associated side effects of my medication), I think I am getting back to normal. How can I tell? Well, aside from the fact that my fever is gone and I don’t feel like sleeping all day, I have restarted my morning routine, a somewhat time-consuming bit of work during the holidays and while recovering from illness:
PETS
- feed & water cats
- wash cat dishes
- freshen pet water (both bird & cat)
- check bird seed (replace if necessary)
- wipe down/disinfectant counters around cat dishes
- clean litter box
- vacuum pet corner
CHRISTMAS
- water tree
- vacuum needles around & under tree
- wrap a few gifts
HEALTH
- steam & irrigate sinuses
- inhaler dose
- expectorant dose
- take vitamins
- shower & dress
- early morning snack: yogurt, Raisin Bran
PERSONAL
- pick up e-mail
- read/watch news
- check blogs
- check bank balance
- check weather
- check calendar
- write daily priorities list
Once all this is finished, I sit down for my daily quiet time with the Lord (although I must admit I let this slide a bit while I was really sick).
I hope this entry finds you well and fully into the fun and frenzy of the holiday. Take care and God bless.

Michele,
So glad you're better. What a hard time to be sick. We just had a whirlwind week, but now that the Nutcracker is over and Chelsey's band/chorus concert, and my cards are sent and gifts wrapped... I think I can relax a bit. God bless and Merry Christmas.
