On the 45th Day of Christmas ... my decorations are still up ...

On the night of January 17 I began to sneeze repeatedly and repeatedly.  And now, on the evening of February 8, I'm still hacking away and feeling fatigued.  For a few short days in there I actually thought I was getting over the flu -- I was back at my desk on January 24, and back in my bed on the afternoon of Feb. 3.  Had worked late on Feb. 2, and about 7:15 felt like I hit a brick wall.  Went home, coughed all evening and was wiped out.  Had to finish an annual report for work the next morning, but went home when that was accomplished.  Could barely crawl out of bed the next day, and was truly too sick to go to the doctor.  Finally made it on Feb. 7, got antibiotics, and VIOLA!!! (yes, I know it's supposed to be Voila! but some of us in the Megnin family say VIOLA!) Drugs are wonderful things -- am still tired and coughing, but feeling so far ahead of where I was yesterday it's not funny.  So maybe for the rest of the evenings this week I'll get after the remaining decorations.
