I've not been making much lately...

...except pitiful little whiny noises from the couch.
You see, I got that AWFUL flu that's been going around, and right away, my right ear started hurting. The next Sunday, that ear was still hurting and completely blocked. I stayed home from church and took myself to Urgent Care. The doctor there told me that it wasn't infected, just blocked, and to keep taking Sudafed and Ibuprofen. Sigh. Three hours wasted. Came home and camped on the couch for the rest of the day, exhausted.
So, I muddle through another week, feeling like a complete wimp, with my head buzzing and feeling as if it were firmly camped in a barrel. I canceled my planned trip to travel to Houston with The Male, afraid to fly. And, my ear got progressively worse.
So, this past Tuesday, I got an appointment with The Male's new GP, who has been wonderful. He took one look and told me I had a "severe" ear infection, that my ear drum was red and stretched, that it looked like it had been that way for some time, and that I might have permanent hearing damage. Sigh.
I left his office with prescriptions for $250 worth of medications. It's been two days since, and things are pretty much the same. And, I still feel completely wiped out.
The house is still needing a post-Christmas cleaning, although I did get all the decorations finally put away. Oops, just remembered one wreath still over the piano. Maybe I'll throw a red or pink ribbon on it for Valentine's Day...
I have scrapped a few pages and worked up a few items for my shop at Faith Sisters. I did get a blog post for our Providence 365 up, too. So, I guess the past 2 and a half weeks haven't been a total loss.
It's actually been rather Providential that I've been working on a project centered around God's Providence while all this has been going on. It has kept my mind from too much of the "poor-me's." Not completely done away with them, but they are greatly reduced!
So, here are a few pages for you to check out:
I might go rest a wile now...
