The welcoming of 2014 was not the night I had anticipated. The beef was waiting in the fridge, the wine was holding its place in the wine rack and I was curled up on the couch nursing a glass of water and a nasty chest cold with a temperature of 103F.
I woke up on December 30th after not showing any sign of illness the previous night and a few hours after getting out of bed, I hit a wall. I spent four short hours at work and was sent home. Being the diligent employee I am, I attempted to perform my daily duties again the next day and sent myself home. I have spent the last three days sleeping, coughing, sipping water and not eating a thing. Today was the first day I attempted some food so I can start getting my energy back.
It seems I have a lot of catching up to do on my blog reading, but I just wanted to wish you all a very Happy new year and all the best for 2014!

Happy new year, and very clever idea to get the sick out of the way right at the start, so you can enjoy the rest of it!
Well, this bug should pretty much cover me for the whole year! Happy New Year to you too!
Happy New Year to you too!!!
🙂
Glad you’re feeling somewhat better.
Getting there….still not 100% but I’m working on it.
Ugh, being sick is the suck.
Yes, it is. I never thought I would pray to stop coughing.
Happy New Year to you too! What a total bummer! Perhaps you should have cracked the wine regardless, you know, for medicinal purposes only!
I think you’re right….although the thought of wine right now makes me nauseous. Yep, I’m sick!!
Yuck, being sick is never good! Hope you are feeling OK. Great excuse to catch up on reading though 🙂
Thanks….happy new year.
Oh Susan, I’m sorry you’re sick. I hope 2014 brings you better health…soon! Take care of yourself.
Thanks Jill….I think I’m on the mend. Happy 2014!
Yay! That’s great news!
get well soon
Happy 14, hope the rest of the year is great for you
Thanks Lance. This one really kicked my butt, but I’m a fighter. Happy 14 to you too!
Yikes! I’m a little late in commenting on this post, so here’s hoping you’re now in a healthier place. Happy New Year — and have a bowl of chicken soup on me.
I enjoyed your chicken noodle soup for lunch today…thanks!! Happy 2014!
Stop working so hard! Give yourself time to recover!
I learned that lesson today….tried to go in for a few hours and left with my sick tail between my legs. One or two more days on the couch. Happy new year!
Happy New Year!
I hope your road to recovery is swift!
Happy new year to you too! I’m working on it. 🙂
Ooh, not a good start to the new year at all. The good news is, it can only get better from here. Hope you feel better soon!
