Sorry for having been a stranger recently. I contracted an extremely nasty virus the last week of April and have been out of commission since then. Although the doctors have said it will take some time for this thing to work its way out of my system, I feel quite blessed that it wasn't anything too serious. The two weeks of work I've missed are a blessing in disguise because the mental relief offset any physical discomfort.
I especially regret missing the last two chats as those are so much fun. I'm not sure if I'll be up for the next one or not, but hope to rejoin honorable comrades soon!
In the meantime I send my best to all and offer congratulations to our esteemed and very capable temporary hostesses for their glowing reviews!
Please know that you have my heartfelt prayers for a speedy recovery. The viruses that have been going around this year have been particularly nasty and longlasting.
You are always missed at the chats. Hope to "see" you soon.
Thanks to everyone for the wonderful comments. They are much appreciated!
I am slowly getting strength back and have been checking in here and at Kurt's site. The doctor wasn't kidding when he said it would take awhile before I wouldn't feel tired all the time!
At first I was totally staying away from the internet and TV (not a bad thing actually), but I've spent the last several days watching the Laurel and Hardy DVDs that came last week. Laughter is indeed excellent medicine!
