I've been battling a tummy flu for several days.............hoping I feel lots better tomorrow because this week is the last week before my students' Christmas recital (NOT "Holiday Recital";^) and I can't cancel any lessons.

I did manage to play for one Mass this morning before I came home and collapsed on the couch (where I've been living since Friday p.m.) I stepped outside at half-time just to see how hard the wind was blowing......wow...........I'm amazed Brett was able to complete any passes. It is cold, cold, COLD right now and still blowing.

Please put my youngest edaughter into Freeeper Genereal. She was sick the entire weeeeeek before Thankeesgiving and then, last weeeeek she came home from school w/ an earache. That doesn't sound too bad, but the symptoms she is showing now are very malarial!

She has a slight feeveeere, headache, no eneregy and upset stomach. Due to the lack of experence in reading malareia blood slidees, I haven't taken her to a doc yet. I've begun treating her as I would at home.

Pray that she'll get better no matter what she has. She's waey behineed in school. Pray that I'll have wisdom in treating her.

When I got home from church this morning I rounded the corner into the kitchen and noticed a pair of combat boots hanging off the end of the couch in the living room. Attached to them was a very tall, very tired Army National Guard Private.

He got to leave drill a little earlier than usual, after 5 days of teaching (this time, the subject was taking pulses and recognizing abnormal pulse rates/types), plus the usual stuff.

I forgot to ask him how his day at the Air Force base went; after his nap he took off to go watch the game with friends and prolly hang out with the girlfriend.

I don't imagine you watched the Packer Game but they won.:)

Hi! Colts won in Houston. Daughter and son-in-law came for a visit and just left a bit ago. I have finished watching "A Christmas Carol" on AMC (the old one made in 1951) and am now watching "Miracle on 34th Street"...also the old one). The old movies put me in a Christmas mood...they are from a time in our country when there was no public cynicism.

You've had a rough week ... first the migraine and now this. It's time for you to get to feeling better ... and that's an ORDER! :-)

The Panthers won again today! It's taken them a while to adjust to all their injuries ... probably too long.

Our newest star running back (4 consecutive games with over 100 yards) was 5th on the depth chart. Jake is playing with a cast on his thumb. We have something like 14 players out with injuries ... I think it's the most in the league. The team is finally beginning to gel but all those losses early in the season really hurt as far as making the playoffs.
