I'm Back...and feel like butt

This was wrote on Wed. the 21st.

I am back to work finally. I didn't fall of the face of the earth. But I did have a very busy vacation. I wanted it that way.



Saturday: Got off of work and went to see Fred Clause, it was a funny movie, surprise to see so many little kids.



Sunday: My mom was making Chicken n Dumplings my favorite. So I went over there and ate way too much, but it was sooooo good.



Monday: Sarah was going to give me my birthday surprise. On our way to my gift it got cancelled. She was taking me to get my hair cut. So and second surprise was Mani's and Pedi's. Well I didn't shave my legs. So I went to my Dads and shaved my legs. He had no idea. We stopped for a Margarita at La Mex. Then off to Tips and Toes. All was good, I like the Massaging chair and I had a nice girl who was gentle with my feet. Only on problem. The nail guy cut into my pinky with the cutical cutters. Ouch!. Then we went to Texas Roadhouse in our pedi slippers. We didn't want to ruin our toes. Overall good Night.

Tuesday: Jacki and Jen Day. We went to the Comtemporary Art Museum in Chicago. Very different types of art. We got lucky and it was free addmission. We were able to drive and park right at the museum too. Then we walked to the Cheescake Factory. Best food. We got seated very quickly and it was great service. Jacki had never been there so it was fun taking her there. We did get Starbucks down a couple of blocks from the parking garage. A lot further than we expected. But I ran into a blind guy. I felt really bad. We got our coffees and went to a really cute nik nak shop and got dollar beaded braclets to have to show for our trip.

Wednesday: I woke up feeling crappy, this was supposed to be me and Dennis day. He had to see his parents and I was going to go if I didn't feel so crappy. I ran some errands and went to dinner with my dad and sister.

Thursday: I got my hair done in Mokena. Got it cut shorter so I can straighten it out. Had just enough time to run home change clothes to go to see Carlos Mencia at the Rialto with Darryl and Sarah. Me and Sarah had a couple of drinks at Jamesons.

Friday: My Birthday. Me and Dennis went to Traversoes an iltalian restuarant. We had their awesome bread and italian sausage and peppers. We got full off of that. And went to downtown Naperville for a couple of drinks. Naperville is a boring town. We came home and listened to tons of music. I was the DJ, we played music for hours.

Saturday: Me Sarah and Lindsay went to Chicago. To ice skate and eat at Cheesecake Factory, yes again. The ice skating thing didn't go over to well with Lindsay she wasn't getting it. We walked from Milleneum Park to the Hancock. It is a far walk, so we bundled up. We did have to wait forever to get a table but it was so worth it.
I get the Navajo, which is a grilled chicken on a deep fried flat bread. There is tomato, lettuce, onion, avacado, and a awesome sauce. It comes with fries which really weren't eaten. But I had cream of chicken soup to start and a Lemon Raspberry Cheescake at the end. So good. We were full. Shopped at the "seven layer mall" as I call it right next door. Didn't get out of the city until 10:00. Long day.

Sunday: My birthday with my mom. We had gifts and food at her house. We ate a recipe that Sarah found, It was chicken breast cut up with vegtables in a cream sauce baked with stuffing on the top. Very tasty. It was fun just being with family. We played a game after all of that was over. It was called "name that phrase" it was phrases from our past that are in music, movies, or just sayings. You have 5 balls and the phrase is spoken by the game out of order. You have to put the phrase in order by the balls. So the phrase Happy Dont be Worry now. You would put in order Dont worry be happy now. It definatley was a game of listening and memory. We got good at it toward the end. We found out we were playing the hard version.oops.

Monday: This was the day of my stamping meeting. I met up with Jacki and went to Charliehorse with Michelle "our upline" before the meeting. It was my birthday dinner. That was fun to chill out with them, then go to the meeting. Me and Jacki stayed after and left at 12:00 or 1:00 I can't remember. This is when I started feeling a little crappy. I had a headache the majority of the day, I thought nothing of it. But by the time I got home I knew I wasn't feeling too good. I took Sudafed before I went to bed to be safe.

Tuesday: YUK... woke up feeling shitty. Keep taking Sudafed and layed around most of the day. i did bundle up to go to walmart. we were out of everything. Made sure I had stuff for tea. Me and Dennis did go to Texas Roadhouse for an appetiser. It was okay. It didn't help that I was stuffy and runny. I took care of my cold for the rest of the night. Dreading going to work the next day.

Wednesday: Wow I woke up all stuffed up and out of medicine. So I took an Allegra. Not good idea. So I had a very raspy voice that only got worse as the day went on. I had my tea water and orange juice and didn't move from my seat if I didn't have to. I purposly stayed over to make up time for Thanksgiving. I wanted to get off at 3:00pm. So I leave sounding like a squeaky toy. Talk to my mom and she said stop taking the Allegra. It s stuffing you up. I was so congested in my nose and chest I couldn't take a deep breath. So at 11:00pm I went to walgreens to get some Mucinex. It has Guifeninsen in it which I needed badly. Now it 11:30 I need to eat I need to take care of my self and get to bed. I knew that I haven't felt this bad in a while. So I called Wes just to give him a heads up on me possibly calling in sick. Bad thing that it would be Thanksgiving.
Went to bed able to breath but didn't get much sleep.

Thursday: Wow again: I have no voice it was a whisper with squeaks here and there. I wasn't going anywhere. I felt like butt. So I had to call in work. Not happy about that. I need that money. I am now going to get screwed out of money. Oh well I need to figure out how to get better. my mom freaks me out making me think I should go to the ER, or Quickcare. I don't wanna. I needed to find out if I had a fever. I went into get better mode and constantly had water orange juice and tea by my side and I was downing them. I kept up on my medicine. A took a hot shower until the hot water went cold and stayed in the bathroom with the steam. Then heated up water in a pot and put vicks in the. Put a towel over my head and made a really hot vicks steam. It was kinda gross. Because it was in my mouth. Not too tasty. But I was bound and determined to go to Thanksgiving dinner at my dads. I put new Pjs on. Bundled up to the max and headed over. I took all of my antibacterial stuff so no one would get my cold. It was a good meal. We watched TV. i stayed in my corner of the couch with my scarf on.

Friday: Thought I would be feeling better, not so much still barely any voice, very horse, man voice as Lindsay puts it. I had to call in again. I needed more sleep and I knew I would only make myself worse if I went in. Layed around all day trying to get better.

Saturday: Came in still a sicko, but had to go over a couple times to the casino, not to bad. Starting to feel a little better.

Sunday: Was my moms Thanksgiving. Happy to be feeling better. Back to a raspy voice but now my nose was running. Had an awesome Dinner. Took good pics. and watched White Christmas.

Monday and Tuesday: really consisted of not much and not feeling to good. I was having horrible headaches. Very stressed and bored.

Wednesday: got out of the house and went to the new Target and out to eat at Johnny Rockets at the Promenade in Bolingbrook with the family. Oh and in between that I saved some Oscar fish of Sarah and Darryls the pump stopped working and they were gasping for air. So I cleaned the pump and they were happy little"huge" fish after that.

Today: Back to work, not to much going on and I am taking Sudafed to clear up my sinuses I still have a lingering blockage behind my nose. It runs down my throat inside of out my nose. Poopy. I have been writing this forever and I am so done with this.

i finished this today. So much writing. Pheww. Now for pics.
