Off the Wagon

I may as well come clean to my blog-followers. I'm back on the Diet Coke. It didn't make me feel better to not drink it. So, as I write this I'm enjoying a large Diet Coke from McDonald's and getting my day off to a lovely caffeinated start.

New Year...New Me

I will be the first to tell you that I am not cut out to be a party girl. I don’t recover well from all-night or even late night parties. It doesn’t matter if it’s just friends drinking Diet Coke and playing Catch Phrase until 3 in the morning, it takes me a couple of days to recover. Ask my Mom. She can wholeheartedly attest to this fact.

So, I am NEVER much fun on New Year’s. I tend to be mopey and depressed all day. Well, this year I had my normal New Year’s Day funk, and we were supposed to go bowling with my in-laws. It actually ended up being very fun. We went over to the Johnsons’ house afterwards for spaghetti and a movie. On the way home we went by Liz’s to walk Caesar, and then we went home.

Well, on Saturday morning I woke up to go walk Caesar, and I had the awfulest funk in my throat. It persisted throughout the weekend which was frigid. Monday my throat felt better, but my ears had started to hurt so bad that they were giving me a headache. I didn’t have a runny nose or anything else, so I just thought I had a migraine or something. By Friday, I couldn’t tolerate it anymore, so I went to the doctor. I had fluid built up behind my ears which was causing the excruciating pain, and I had a sinus infection which didn’t help.

Well, today I’m back to normal! I’m so happy. Today is the first day in 2010 that I can say I feel really good. I should be back to blogging on a regular basis. I’ve got lots of plans for 2010 of course, and I look forward to sharing another year with all of you.
