Coming out of the dark

Frost on the roof (by pricklypearbloom)

It’s been a whole week since I’ve posted in this space, and I think that’s the longest I’ve ever been away. I think. Partly it was due to the fact that I got H1N1 flu, and was sick as a dog for 4 full days, and then my husband got it and was sick for the rest of the week and I was getting him water and orange juice and making sure he didn’t die from the 103 fever he had on and off for half of the sickness. The other part is due to the job that I’ve been going to for a couple of weeks now, which is actually keeping me busy! And engaged! And I’m tired when I get home and haven’t had much to say. And both of those things also aided in my not processing any photos for a week and a desire to sink into the couch at any given moment and just watch movies. Or Weeds. I watched the first two seasons of Weeds and I can’t believe I haven’t tried watching it earlier because I loved it. Although now season 3 isn’t on the demand list on Netflix so I have to do it the old fashioned way and wait for it to come in the mail. But I suppose that’s ok because I have it on good authority that the first two seasons are the best anyway.

So anyway. Flu. Work. Tired. That’s been pretty much it for the past week. So you haven’t missed much. I’m finally starting to feel better now. I still have the cough, and I hear it sticks around. And thank you for your well wishes. They really made me feel better, too.

I’m hoping to find a groove here with my new schedule (not to mention start visiting the blogs I love to visit again), and start making stuff again now that I’m not deathly ill. And I put a button in the sidebar for the shop, where there are calendars to be had!

  1. I’m glad you’re both better!

    isn’t it funny how getting movies in the mail from Netflix is the old fashioned way? Oh, how things change.

    Oy, both of you with H1N1 as well as adjusting to a new job? Glad to see you are back on your feet.

    I did the marathon watching of the first two seasons of Weeds on instant Netflix about a year ago as well. Absolutely loved it…so wickedly dark and hysterical. I have heard the same poor reviews about the rest of the seasons so haven’t bothered with getting them through the mail. Have you tried Dexter yet? Not sure if it’s on instant but another dark humor show that I was instantly addicted to.

    Congrats on the new gig, and surviving the hini. I got it a couple days before Halloween, and I’m just kicking the last respiratory effects now.

    We love Weeds! I think things started to pick up with season 4…I am dreading this long wait until season 5 comes out on disc!! I am really enjoying your photos, they are so calming to look at :) .

    Glad to hear you’re feeling better and that Weeds has helped you through it all. I have seen seasons 1-4 and yes, 1 & 2 were the best, so funny! Welcome back!
