Still sick! I’m starting to think we will never get better because we refuse to convalesce and instead spend our days trying to Do Fun Things with the kids, who are not sick. And then we collapse in a phlegmy heap on the floor. But guess what? It’s not much fun to write about being sick. And I imagine it’s even less fun to read about it. So how about I write something else? Okay then.

Thanks to your brilliant suggestions, everyone on our list did in fact receive gifts for Christmas. The new family got bath towels (practical) and assorted soaps and scrubs and whatnot (less practical, more fun). They also got gift cards for takeout dinners, but not from us. Apparently other family members read my blog and borrow ideas from the comments section. The DINKS got a scone pan, scone mix, and scone jam (also known as regular jam). The single guy got gift cards for fast food. You guys are good.

And now my head is spinning and I must close my eyes for at least a three minutes together, so it appears that we’ve reached the end of this post! And it turned out to be about me being sick after all. Drat. Tomorrow, though! Tomorrow I will be healthy! And interesting! Both at once! Or perhaps not. But a girl can hope.
