Still here

I'm still alive. About a week ago, I woke up with a sore throat that evolved into the cough from hell. I've been a complete diva because I've felt awful. I've hardly exercised and still can't sleep because first the sore throat and later the cough keep me up. Even codeine cough syrup has only helped minimally.

I did go to church on Easter, though! All by myself, since Holland was at work. Because I went to church later in the morning, it was packed and there were lots of children because there was no daycare. I spent most of the time trying really hard not to cough on the baby sitting right next to me. Next year we're going to the 8AM service!

Anyway, I should be back in the swing of things soon. I felt marginally better today and I went straight to bed as soon as I got home. I've been up for about three hours now eating dinner and such. Now it's back to bed.

Oh p.s. I checked on the birds yesterday and the nest was empty! I checked on them last week and they were still there, sitting on the eggs. I read that the gestation period for birds can be somewhere around 10-14 days and I don't know how old the eggs were when I first saw them. So I'm going to assume they hatched and hopped off and lived happily ever after!
