Is it over? I've had the flu/cold over the holiday break and spent a good deal of my time off sleeping it off and feeling sorry for myself. Well drinking too but only for cold therapy. My brother and his girlfriend had me over for Christmas Eve and snacks (I had every intention of sticking to my diet - but who can resist rum balls? - not I - I'm so weak) we spent the night drinking a bottle of $200 cognac (sooo good), watched the dog open his gifts and solved all the world's problems before 5 a.m. When I got home I had many well wishes from friends and family waiting on my answering machine leaving me feeling all warm and fuzzy before I slipped into a cold/cognac induced coma for the rest of Christmas day. And now it is like I never left my desk for here I am again. Feeling oh so good about myself as I just donated my $100 Christmas bonus to the Red Cross Tsunami Relief Fund (nothing beats that do gooder feeling). I can't believe how long it took to get through to the 1-800 # which must be a good sign that lots of people are giving money. I'm always thinking how little money I have and have been on a rant the past few months because my rent is going up in January - about my pay being so low, that I have no health benefits blah, blah, blah... Then you see something like what happened in Asia on Boxing Day and it puts it all into perspective. I really am so lucky and blessed. The I'm okay feeling just sort of washes over you.
Song o' the day:
