For the past week, I have felt sick. Not SICK, but sick. I have been in charge of several big activities and projects and have been pushing really hard. Last Wednesday, I was in charge of a YM/YW combined activity that involved refreshment. On Saturday I was in charge of a breakfast for 50 people for the YM/YW, and this Wednesday, I am in charge of a combined YW's activity that involves dinner for 35. I am also the neighborhood coordinator for our sub-for Santa that provides Christmas for a family of six children that needs to be completed by Friday, and on Saturday, I drive to Idaho to pick up Sean. And did I mention, Tim is out of town for the next six days? Sooooo...today I finally got sick of being sick, and I went to the doctor and was given a prescription for a Z-PACK (for bronchitis). So I am planning in feeling much better by tomorrow...or perhaps Wednesday. I just needed to whine for a minute.
I was talking to my dad on the phone a couple of weeks ago, when I had a phone call come through. It was a neighbor telling me that her husband's surgery had not gone well. I couldn't very well cut her off, so my poor dad had to wait several minutes on hold. I was hoping he had just hung up. When I went back to the conversation with my dad, he was still on hold. He told me that it was okay, he had spent the time unloading the dishwasher. I told him that he was multi -tasking like a woman. He said, "Oh I could never be that good, nor would I want to be". Women work too hard!!
So tonight, I am getting in a HOT bath by 8:00, and curling up with a good book, and lights out be 9:00 p.m.

I'm proud of you for whining and going to bed. Good job Margie1
I worked with a lady who never complained, and trust me she had plenty to complain about other than her health. But we enjoyed working together and one day she said she wanted on her headstone. "I TOLD YOU I WAS SICK"
Just a little humor there. If I had all to do that you have I would be sick also. :o)
Whining is good. Martyrs are not getting into heaven this week.
Oh by the way, did you want cheese with your "wine" ?
Jeez Margie! I didn't realize you were sick when I was talking to you last night. I hope you are feeling better!
I know it's only Tuesday but hope you are feeling better earlier than you had hoped.
I hope you're feeling better, Margie. Please don't run faster than you have strength for especially in this season of pneumonia and bronchisits. With everything you had to do you deserve to whine. Occasionally whining is good for the soul and mental health :-)
