I hope no one takes it personally! I've been sick with an upper respiratory virus, fluid in the ears, coughing, stuffed up, fever, and just haven't had the energy this past week to do much of anything!


I went to my doctor on Tuesday finally and she prescribed an antibiotic so it doesn't get any worse. I had pneumonia for the first time ever about two years ago and we were concerned it was gonna go that route--which I definitely don't need--especially with a trip to Canada still waiting to happen! It seems ever since I had pneumonia, IF I get sick with any sort of head or chest cold, it really hits me harder than it used to. Not sure if that's "normal" or just a coincidence but anyway, I wanted to let you all know I'm still here and still at least read your posts daily. I'm sure I'll be back to responding as per normal this weekend or by Monday at the latest! Hugs and hope everyone is doing well! Lori P.S> Amanda, thanks for covering my roll call for me... I usually post that at the beginning of every month but hadn't gotten to it til now due to feeling ill. Have a good weekend!

I hope you feel better Lori! That sounds awful- get well soon! Take care of yourself, and maybe curl up with a magazine and cup of tea with honey.

Thanks, Blue.. that cup of tea w/honey and a magazine sounds pretty good right now--I think I'll take your advice! Hang in there and I'll "talk" to you soon! Hugs, Lori

You are allowed to take a break Lori. Your health and welfare come first.


So where are you going in Canada? If you're going to be in the Toronto area maybe we could meet!


Take care of yourself. The board will still be here when you are better.

Thanks, Amanda! I'm going to be in Kitchener! That's not too far I don't believe! Once I know exactly when I'm going I will let you know and we can compare schedules okay? Hugs, Lori

Thank you, Mary... I think I am well on the mend...still a bit stuffy and a cough here and there but back to the board fairly regularly now! How are YOU doing by the way? I think of you often and hope things are at least fairly stable and that you are enjoying Spring! Hugs, Lori

I don't know my geography that well but I think Kitchener is closer to me than Toronto, if not the same distance. I just mapquested it, and it's around 40 miles. There is a bus that could get me to Kitchener for $15! (I don't drive). Let me know.
