The flu
What a fun couple of weeks. Okay, really two weeks plus with the flu and its minions. I highly don’t recommend it. Very odd version of flu. Mostly aches and pains and cold symptoms, some tummy problems. I still don’t feel 100%, have a slight fever and stuffy nose and cough. Fully expected it to develop into pneumonia but it did not. But during the midst of it I finished and passed my real estate pre-licensing course so yeah me. So on to the state and national tests. [UPDATE: I passed the state and national tests!!]
I still haven’t done any Christmas shopping. Usually by this time I am at least half done. And it is very odd that I haven’t done any holiday type art or crafts yet. I am going to guess that it is the combination of the state of the economy, school for me, and the flu. Makes me realize how much “the mom” drives the Christmas holiday. At least in this house. I have no idea how moms with full time jobs even have the time to shop for Christmas, let alone create an atmosphere of festivity. I was super lucky that over Thanksgiving when I was sick, my sweet husband shopped for, cooked, and cleaned up after Thanksgiving. I only had to show up to eat!

I was wondering what happened to you…Congratulations on passing those tests, you give me hope that perhaps my brain hasn’t yet shriveled up and died.
