The Life and Brief Death of laura b.

Oh my.  What a week it has been.  Last Tuesday, I was sick.  Wednesday and Thursday,  I felt fine.  Friday, I awoke in pain about 6am and spent the next 24 hours thinking I might die.  Seriously.  It is probably better left unshared, but I was hovering between feeling nearly unconscious and in excrutiating pain.  By Saturday, when I was supposed to work again, I felt somewhat better, but knew I couldn't work.  And let me tell you, calling in on a Saturday is a MAJOR production.  But I stayed semi-comatose for another day.  By Sunday morning I felt okay, got up and about, even ATE a little...that was exciting and frightening.  Today I am back at work and feeling tired, but basically fine. 

Not to make a big deal of my virus or whatever, but I just seldom get sick and this was soooo awful!  Join me in hoping that it is gone forever.  Or at least for a very long time.

As a bonus for coming back to work today, at lunchtime I went to join the family party at Chuck E. Cheese for Love Bug's 3rd birthday (which is actually tomorrow).  Why they had a party on a Monday afternoon, and why so many people in the family could show up, remains a mystery :-) 

Here us a blurry action shot. You can see the back of Miss Personality, as she "helps" Love Bug with her gifts.
You can see Love Bug sporting some classy specs and hugging a box that has something Dora in it.
And you can see a bit of Little Prince sucking frosting off of his fingers. Awesome party, right?

Anyway, I am glad to be back amongst the living and promise to whip around to everyone's blog to make sure I haven't missed anything.  Onward!
