Finally, another post

Hey everyone. It's been a while. I hope this post finds everyone doing well. I'm am doing great. I have been very contemplative lately. I think because my birthday is coming up. Again. It seems to come a lot faster now days. I remember my mom saying that 'time flies when you are having fun' and I guess that is what has been happening with me. I have been very busy lately. I have been working two jobs, writing and of course, taking care of baby puppy. She is so much bigger then she was when I got her. She weighs 7 lbs now and she is still a bundle of energy. I'm sure people at work are sick and tired of hearing me talk about her. I can't help it though, she is the only child I have. It has been fun lately because we have set up a new routine. She usually gets me up at 3:00am and I let her out to the bathroom, then she comes into my room with me and sleeps on my bed. It is a bonding moment for us. I love the feel of her little heat seeking body curled next to mine. Just not all night. Enough about Mimi.
Christmas was fun. I had almost two weeks off and enjoyed every minute of it. Mom and Dad stayed with me which is always fun and I had Susan and Christophers dog Zoe staying with me. It was a full house. Mimi had fun though. I have to say that by the time New Years came around I was ready to have my house back. I took down the tree on New Years eve and re-arranged my living room area. I really like it now. I have a separate reading nook where my dining room table once was. I decided that I only used the table as a catch all anyway and I may as well make that area useful for me. It is perfect.
I got sick a week ago with a horrible chest cold. Those of you who know me well understand that when I get these colds they usually attack my vocal cords and I lose my voice for months. Well.......I found a miracle drug. It is called Buckley's chest congestion elixer . I picked it up at Albertsons on my way home from work one day when I was feeling especially awful. It said the dosage was 2-4 tsp per adult. I took my first tsp taste and almost threw up. It tastes horrid, like liquified vicks (I'm not exaggerating). I decided to suck it up and take another spoonful. I have been amazed at how much better I am feeling--not even 1 week later. IF you get a chest cold I recommend it highly. It works! I will be adding some pictures for you that I have taken lately. I hope all is well. Love you all...Connie
