Wrong turn
Posted by Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Saturday, December 6th, 2008
I was putt-putt-putting along, doing my thing – work, kids, errands, bill-paying, grocery-shopping, dinner-making, yada yada… you know the drill. We all do it. But then… throw Thanksgiving into the mix. And this blasted head cold that I’ve had for nearly a month now…. and what do you get?
Me, a mess.
I’ve come home from work exhausted to the point of being unable to do one more thing. I’ve curled up in the chair with a blankie and been asleep in seconds. But, honestly, it’s more than that. It’s like my mind is wrapped in a big black fog and I can’t see my way out. I hit a *bottom* of sorts this week, scaring even myself at how *low* I felt and finally decided it was time to see a doctor. So now another round of antibiotics (my second in a month), another round of steroids (also my second in a month) and an inhaler are coursing through my system, hopefully doing their thing. Maybe just the sheer act of feeling better will help improve my dark mood. And hopefully turn off the chronic leak in my waterworks.
I appreciate all the emails, wondering where I’ve been. Thank you. Ya’ll knew there must be something wrong when I didn’t post… and each email I read questioning it only further confirmed what I knew – some of you sweet bloggers are truly my friends. (Of course, each sweet email made me cry too.) I think the sheer fact that I haven’t even LOOKED at my blog in days should tell you how bad it’s been. I hope I’ll have something interesting or slightly humorous to say next time I post.

Jenon 06 Dec 2008 at 8:37 am 1You know, I’ve checked your blog about 100 times a day, waiting for a new post. I figured you just needed a break after NaBloPloMo.
I am so sorry that you’ve not been feeling like yourself.
Hope you feel better soon, Dory.
Beccaon 06 Dec 2008 at 11:02 am 2I am so glad that you posted something. I was blogstalking you yesterday, but then again, I was also emailing you, too, so I knew you were out there somewhere, and would be back when your head cleared up, if you know what I mean.
Love you my friend, and no chocolate for breakfast!
Guinieon 06 Dec 2008 at 11:10 am 3I just figured you’d been busy with a lot of holiday stuff. Didn’t realize you were feeling so awful! I hope you get to feeling better soon! Cold and junk that hang on this long are no fun at all. You’re in my prayers, girlie! Hope you get to feeling better soon!!!!! Love you!!!
BBBon 06 Dec 2008 at 12:54 pm 4This flu and cold season is kicking a lot of people’s hineys. I am sorry you are having such a difficult time. You have been through a lot these last couple of months and that can really lower your resistance to getting sick.
Please take good care of yourself! There are lots of us out here in blog land who love you dearly!! I’ll be keeping you in my prayers that you get better soon.
Hugs to you!
Jeanon 06 Dec 2008 at 3:45 pm 5I just figured you were sick of it after NaBloPoMo! I’m sorry you’re sick, and even sorrier you’re sad. I think you need to take care of yourself for a few days. I’m sure you know we’re praying for you!
With all the nonsense going on over at Spaces. I’m moving over to blogger with all the others! So is Yellow! Come see us, sometime!
hugs,
Jean

Kellyon 07 Dec 2008 at 6:56 pm 11I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. I tend to get a little depressed when I’ve been sick for awhile…it usually goes away when I’ve rested up enough. I hope you feel better soon.
