It's 6:26a and I've been fully awake since 4a so I thought I would take this time to finally do some catching up on my online activities. Prior to 4a, I spent more time coughing or trying not to cough than sleeping. And when I did sleep, I had to sit and sleep b/c once I went horizontal, my throat starts to tickle and then the coughing ensues. :( I really, really am tired of being sick. Usually I am not down for too long but Mark and I have been under the weather since Christmas Eve. Enough already.
So the nice thing about being awake is that I have time to do things. Like notice how pretty the Christmas lights look, reflecting on our old wood floor in the living room. So I fixed up my digicam to my new SLR-size Gorrilapod and practiced some shots.
Things that are happening right at this moment:
- It's raining! Yes. Really raining. With lighting and rumbling thunder, too! It's been wonderful to hear it and to see the water collecting. We've gone without rain for too long so this is a real blessing.
- Mark put on a pot of beans in the slow cooker last night and now it smells delicious. And makes me want to eat.
- I'm listening to some of my favorite, favorite jazz. Stan Getz, Diana Krall, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Charles Mingus, and many others. Very nice.
- I am checking out all the pictures that my Flickr friends have added. Wow, I've been slacking on that; there are tons of photos to see.
- I am thinking I should also post something on my La China blog. Haven't done that in a while.
- I am also thinking I have not made a single earring since my little vacation started and I had said I would definitely do that. Yikes. Only got today to live up to my word on that point.
Okay, I am done drinking another cup of Theraflu so I'm going to try and close my eyes and see if sleep comes my way. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday! :)

I am so sorry you're sick! I sure hope you feel better very soon!
Wow, I thought I was looking at the reflection in water until I looked closer and realized what I was seeing.
Feel better soon!
I love this photo. It makes me think of the wonder of Christmas as a child, when I would stay up in the dark just to watch the tree lights flicker and think about what might be under the tree for me!
Hoping for a quick recovery. Lovely picture.
feel better--
100% soon.
our floors looked like this right after we refinished them a few years ago =) but i think it's time for another coat or 2 of poly here next year... the colors look really neat reflecting off the floor.
