Have you missed me?

It has been more than a week since I have posted!  Have you missed me?  Here's what's been going on at Chez Lisa Pie:



I HAVE BEEN SICK!


Yes, I have been sick.  I have had the crud for what seems like for-freaking-ever! At about day 4 I was sitting up on the couch covered in a cat blanket watching mindless t.v. because the thought of trying to lay down and then start the coughing jags was too much; and I had to turn the t.v. up louder because the damn cats were snoring and I couldn't hear anything.  And you know how it goes when you hear an annoying background sound, it begins to be all you CAN hear.  So I started investigating to see which one of these cats was being so darn noisy.  At this point I was noticing that the snoring seemed to be in rhythm with my own personal breathing.  Weird.  But we are all sitting together, so whatever.  Anyhoo, it took me about an hour to figure out that it was not the cats snoring, but rather it was my own personal chest wheezing!!!!!  Never in my life have I ever wheezed.  Not once.  Even when I wanted to try and do the Muttley wheezy laugh, I had to really work for it.  This was very disconcerting.

 I got to about 5 or 6 days in and figured out that I was not going to get better on my own so I went to the doctor.  After a not very long wait (yea!!) the doctor listened to my chest and sent me to get x-rayed.

Have you had your chesticle area x-rayed?  The frontal view was not too bad.  But that sideways profile view?  Weeeeellll.   Hmmmmmm.

Do you recall that cartoon Granny from Playboy?  The one with the really long breasticles?  It seems gravity is not my friend and that is the direction my own lovely breasticles are headed.

Downward.

I didn't really need to see that x-ray is what I am sayin'.  A blow to my vanity.

Anyhoo . . . . . .

So I am now on all sorts of new and improved medications, inhalers and steroids.  Yep, I am on the 'roids. Juiced up, as it were.  Maybe these 'roids will perk up the breasticeees?  That would be a nice little benefit, wouldn't it?

The doctor seemed to think this particular little viral infection would take about 3 weeks to clear out and I am about halfway there.  And thank the Lord about for that!  This staying home, coughing and having no energy and wheezing has not been a picnic.  Or a day at the park.  Or a walk in the park.  Or whichever saying you like best.

What have I been doing to fill up my day while I can't sleep or talk or anything else, you might ask?

I signed up on ancestry.com and have been researching and filling up my family tree.  Ooooh, I know what you are thinking, "I bet Lisa Pie has some really interesting characters nuts in her family tree!"

Well, that my friends, is news for the next time!

I hope you and yours are all well and not wheezing, coughing, snotty, or disgusting.

p.s. to QueenB, your tea is sitting on my kitchen table just waiting for me to take it to the UPS store.  You will receive it really soon!

p.p.s. Since it is already the first week of the Month again.  Plan on a new tea drawing in the next few days!!
