Hi, All! Welcome from the Land of the Lost ~ Lost Days, Lost Time, Lost Plans, Lost Chances.

That’s me this past week, and I’m still dealing with the aftermath. I’m also scouting the area to find out who infected me.

Yes, in a week when I knew I would lose three days before it started—the holiday, you know—I lost three more days because I came down with a horrid respiratory sickness, with coughing and crusty eyes as the bane of my existence. This episode is only coming to you with the assistance of powerful drugs that are slowly pulling me back from the brink. The doctor refused to give an infection window—but I have recon going to find the culprit.

To start the week with high hopes and to end with hopes in fragments on the ground … cue violins. Let’s talk about what did happen to the good and the little highlights that keep us going.
