Thank-Sniff-Ling

Thanksgiving has come and gone and I am proud to say that I have not gained a pound nor did I have to endure any sort of food coma. I am sad to say that I had to skip out on some quality family time and delicious feasting due to the inevitable flu. After leaving work at 2:30 on Wednesday, I already started to get the first symptoms. Nonetheless, I proceeded to the stores for my one and only Christmas shopping trip of the year. It was quite a success and I vow to not give retail any business until the new year. I went home and got ready for another round of Spring Awakening and halfway through the show, I started to feel really queasy. I still managed to greet the cast at the stage door before retiring and sleeping 'til close to 1pm on Thanksgiving day. We joined Marc's family for dinner where I pretty much sat in a corner, delirious from all the medication I had been taking. We were supposed to make our way to my Dad's family's gathering afterwards but I wasn't feeling well. I slept all day Friday at my parent's house. Enjoyed the rain/light snow on Saturday as family from my Mom's side came by for a meal. I managed to say hi to everyone before sleeping...some more. So it's Monday now and I'm still sick. Although I must admit that it beats being at work. I have no pictures to share but despite that, I am still ever so thankful for all of God's blessings. With November coming to a close, I declare tomorrow as the official beginning to the Christmas countdown. Happy December!
