Hello to all

I can't believe it is already 2019.

I can't believe it's the middle of January, 2019!

Wait, January, slow down.....

I got sick with a cold the day after Christmas.

Nothing unusual, our whole family has been sick

and passing this stuff around - back and forth.

Thought I could shake it with ZiCam.

A homeopathic remedy you can buy at Walgreens, CVS, etc.

It usually works for me.

Not this time.

I finally ended up going to the doctor on January 11

and got diagnosed with bronchitis.

Two antibiotics for seven days and rest.

Which sucked for me, because I had PLANS.

PLANS for lots of cleaning and purging 

PLANS to start painting 

PLANS for daily exercise. 

Nope, not happening.

So I rested. I slept. I read.

When I started to feel a little better, 

I went to acupuncture.

Now THAT really helped.

So, the seven days have gone and I am now feeling 

sort of like my old self again.

Except I'm weak.

I have no energy.

And I have yet to get back into exercise

except for ONE day.

And only walking and biking.

For about 15 minutes.

I felt like I had run ten miles.

And there's been SNOW.
And COLD.
And DREARY, CLOUDY DAYS.
Ugh, I don't know about you
but I need me some sunshine.

 I do see the end in sight.

I have lots of projects and shows in the works.

And when I feel less like a kitten and more like a lioness,

I will tell you about them.

Oh, and I've lost 60 pounds in the last year, 

and this year, I'm going for the rest of it.

Peace
