Originally Posted By melekalikimaka What a sick joke to not be able to have chocolate at Christmastime. I'm at the end of 11 days of being sick with no end in sight. I'm pretty frustrated.

I'm starting to think that it might be all of the greenery in my house. I've got at least 3 times as much as last year. But I think it was when we started burning fresh wood during the power outage that might have made me a lot sicker. I'm not sure but if I don't feel any better in a few days, I'll be gathering up a lot of the greenery and tossing it. I hope you feel better soon, smed. You sound like you feel worse than me and I wouldn't wish that on anybody!

Grrr. (Okay, it only cost $4 so I guess I should let it go, huh? LOL)

Originally Posted By melekalikimaka LOL, no, I wasn't able to drink any rum. Instead I ran to the drugstore, burned a cd, made the frosting, put dinner in the crockpot, heated up a ham and applied a glaze to it, packed up in a big box, gathered the xmas gifts and managed to squeeze in a shower 10 minutes before we had to leave. I'm seriously considering hitting the rum tonight, though!! Don't want to be too woozy tomorrow, however, since I'm hosting some family for an early breakfast.

My house is an absolute disaster and things are crazy at work with no chance of it calming down any time soon. I do feel a bit better after venting though.
