Here...

But still not well.

I'm not sure what this thing is I have, but it's miserable and apparently lingers forever. It's not a cold, exactly, but mostly a really bad, non-productive cough. I'm also being cursed with severe headaches every morning when I wake up. Coughing, of course, only makes them worse. It also exhausts me, so I have very little energy.

I don't like to complain, so I've mostly just been quiet. But I've had some folks email me so thought I'd let you know that I'm still alive, just unable to fuction well. I'm doing those things I *must*, but everything else has fallen to the wayside.

I haven't visited any blogs in a week. I've tried to check Facebook for those of you there to keep up with what's going on if I can -- it's quicker and easier than blog-hopping.

It's been extremely frustrating because it looks like spring is here early and I'm itching to get out in my yard and start cleaning up. I want to rake the leaves out of my woods garden and let the daffodils bloom. I need to pull up the dead stuff, see what's coming back and start making plans for what might be an early veggie garden. It was 70+ degrees here yesterday. In early March! All indications are that official "ice out" might be as early as next week.

And I'm sick. I'm also sick of being sick.

So ... that's my check in. I'm sorry I haven't been around much, but as I said, I'm really just doing what I must and all other things have fallen to the wayside.

Hopefully, I'll mend soon and get back to normal!
