Nothing makes you feel sorry for yourself, or makes you miss home more than being sick. This is my current predicament. For the third time in only a month and a half I have been plowed down by yet another illness. This time, constant coughing fits leave me gasping for air, unable to breathe for a few seconds following, and without a voice for the past day and a half. I think I’ve slept an average of 18-20 hours a day for the past 3 days, now only waking up when said coughing fits take over. It’s been a real joy.

On the positive side of life events, my sister, niece and parents are officially booked to come over for a visit at the end of April! I think it will be the first time we have done something as a family in several years – probably not since Amanda and I were kids. Not that I can remember anyway. And before my mother makes a comment, to clarify I mean trip wise… And as the original four… Since Elizabeth can’t walk or talk yet, I won’t count her as affecting the original four. It shall be nice to be our little family again.

Anyway, this post has required me to stay in a sitting position for longer than I like, so it’s back to bed I go!
