Hi folks. Time for another edition of Lunatic Loves. I really enjoy doing this one. Sharing the love, it's a good thing.
Short but sweet post this time. Got a recovering puppy so not much free time today. Malia was fixed yesterday so she's doing well and on the mend. She is sore and in a cuddly mood though which means the mama ain't getting squat done.
Just to let you know I am better now and shall return to my regular spazzy posting mode by tomorrow. Christmaspoolza will begin then too. I had stuff in the queue but don't like posting when I cannot reply or comment on other blogs. So held everything back and am now shockingly a week ahead. So always an upside to the flu is what I'm telling you. Seriously, you should try it. *kidding* Now my house is a whole different story. It went to hell in a hand basket while I was sick. Did I tell you I hate chaos? It really, really bugs me. I don't like white glove clean but I like things in their place or I get super cranky. Seriously, just ask the family how much of a big old miss cranky pants I've been simply because my house is not "tidy". Can you say ocd?
Okay on to the good stuff.
WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING:
Yacking...
Chucking...
Napping...
Dizzy spells...
Fever...
Shakes....
You get the idea!
Not very productive when I'm sick am I?

Good to know you're getting back to your loony self. I think I know where your bug decided to migrate to, I can just feel it! Groan ....
ReplyDeleteAww ... I remember when we had to fix our pets. I felt so sorry for them but they'll be driving you nuts again soon ... *evil laughter*. No, wait, scratch the *evil*, I don't want a lump of coal in my stocking.
I feel your pain.. why does the house go to hell when Mommy's sick!?! Dishes don't get done, the house looks like a hurricane just ran a muck, etc... Now I still don't know how you managed to do all you did while sick. Do you need a cape or something.. because that's pretty "superwoman" of you. :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad Kim you are feeling better...
ReplyDeleteI know how it is and the drill at the home... Trust me I feel like running away seeing the dishes and dust whenever I give charge to my hubby...
But sweetie you take it easy...
B/w love this post and links...
Sending Hugs....
Glad you're feeling better, Kim...except, of course, for the upcoming plague :) I had the flu last month (first time in many years) which led to an upper respiratory infection which led to an allergic reaction to antibiotics... It sure felt like the plague! I hope the pup feels better, too. My pup is 2 now but I remember when she got spayed - although I think I was more traumatized than she was :)
ReplyDelete@ping- Stinks being sick. No fun for anyone. Malia seems right back to normal. I really need to get her into puppy training.
ReplyDelete@Curry and Comfort- Lol, it is so true. You take a few days off and it takes a week to catch up. I was lucky I still had some energy to do a bit. However we did not see horsey during the flu so I think she would vote no cape. Lol!
@Reem- Seems to be a woman thing. Guys just don't have the same pressure when they are sick. Moms still have to do it all. Much better now so can get right back to normal life again.
@Anita- I know right. Oh my that sounds awful. Hope you are all better. Puppy is doing great. Only took about 24 hours and she was semi right as rain again. They sure bounce back quick.
NO, you must not get the plague!! I'm so glad you're feeling better. xo
ReplyDeletePS...as always, excellent links!
@Lizzy- Lol, thanks!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are feeling better. Mom's never get the sick days they want/need. Great links, as always!
ReplyDeleteKim! Aww! Thank you so much, that is the sweetest ever description :) You just totally made my day!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're on the mend! Can't wait to see what you've been up to =)
