I thought I would be spared…

But no. I got the creeping crud any way. Gollum's curse, the gomboo, or whatever it is, it's terrible. I haven't felt good for almost 2 weeks, but never really got downright sick. Well, it finally hit me full force this weekend. Flu, cold and a wonderful ear infection. I feel better today, but the weekend list of things to do went by the wayside. I managed to get some of the Christmas stuff down. Yes, Christmas stuff and still only some of it. Maybe next weekend good health will be smiling and I can accomplish the rest. I really don't want to push it into March. I did that one year, and finally the young women of our ward made me a project and came over to help me get my huge tree down. That was the year we inherited a 12' tree from a friend. I put it up in our living room and then we had to move out because the tree took over the house. (now I know why they didn't want it anymore!) We cut it down a few feet the next year. I gave it away after a couple more seasons because it was one of those put it together branch by branch kind, and of course was not pre-wired. I am too lazy to do that much work for a tree when one can get such pretty ones already together (mostly) and already lit.

I just have the tree to take apart now, and then get everything packed away until Christmas comes again. Next week that is.

I'm going to go take a nap now.
