Ok I'm not frustrated that its almost Christmas....but rather that I am sick and having issues with enjoying that Christmas is less then a month away! I feel like I have been sick for the past three months... sick of being sick. As I sit in my bed typing (in between coughs) with my hot tea and puffer I just finished goggling how to deal with a bad cough. Others advised to avoid cold beverages (hot tea it is), sleep on lots of pillows (check), have a teaspoon of honey (check) and to use steam to help clear things up. So I just boiled some water, placed in a bowl and sat over the steam. It felt really good. And I did the honey and now the tea. So I'm hoping that it will all help. I know both Fred and I would love to get some sleep tonight.
So to past time I am watching Christmas movies and cartoons. I rented Holiday Inn with Bing Crosby on itunes. It was cute. It had one of my fav Christmas songs in it - White Christmas. And now I'm watching old cartoons on a site that I just found. I complete forgot about the cartoon Twas the Night Before Christmas - so cute with the little mice. I have so many movies taped that I watch every year: Frosty the Snowman, Mickey's Christmas Carol, The Muppet Christmas Carol, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Rudolph, Garfields Christmas, Bugs Bunny Christmas special, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, the Claymation Christmas special (thanks to April and Aaron), Santa Claus 1 & 2, It's a Wonderful Life, White Christmas, National Lampoon's Christmas vacation, Mr. Bean's Christmas special, The Nativity (this is fairly new to the list) and wow I'm sure there are more.
So my goal for this week was to get things ready for Christmas...but that all slipped by as I have no energy and am coughing every two seconds. So this weekend I hope to rest myself up so 1. I have energy to go to work for a full week 2. So I can be ready next weekend to put up the Christmas tree and decorations.
Enjoy your weekend!

Oh Hun, how I feel for you! I mean, obviously I have known that you've been sick, but I just continue to really feel for you through all of this. (hugs)
ReplyDeleteAbout the rest of the post, thanks for sharing the link to the cartoons, I'll definitely be checking that out. Mum has Holiday Inn too - it's because of the end scene where she's sitting on the set singing White Christmas and he comes in, that's why that song is my favourite! I love that scene.
I am praying that you had a good night's rest, that you're having a restful and relaxing weekend, and that you will be able to feel well enough to do all you wanted to do this week.
(hugs and luv)
