Flu Week

That's what I've decided to call this week. Actually, its turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I've had to clear my entire calendar, so I've been hanging around the house in my jammies and getting a lot of stuff from my never ending list taken care of. The house should be in somewhat better order by the time the kids recover.

In other news:

Big K is on her way to Connecticut in a couple of days. She has sufficiently recovered from the flu to be able to go. I'm hoping that she will be a big help to her aunt and not a huge tweenie pain in the backside.

It turns out that I made enough money from the consignment sale to pay for a weekend scrapbooking conference. I'm in the process of getting reservations for that. It will be nice to get away and relax for a couple of days!

I've decided to take a break from being "sick" for a couple of months. The neurologist wants to treat me for MS. I'm a little skeptical about the diagnosis, and I'd like to talk to a couple of other doctors before I become a walking IV port. We'll change over our insurance in January to make that possible. So until then, I'm on vacation.

We're kicking around a brief trip to Frankenmuth sometime in the next month. Since we didn't take a family vacation this year because of everything going on, it would be a chance for a low key, low energy expenditure outing. The kids want to go to Splash Village, of course. I'd rather get a good look at the outlet mall, myself. I'm sure a compromise can be worked out. :-)
