That City Girl: Sick, sick, sick...

...and that pretty much sums up the state of my existence as of late. Hence my silence on here (what happened to all of those glorious Christmas-in-Santa Fe pics I was supposed to post?! shoot). Instead I have been lying on the couch for days on end trying to recuperate from my various health issues. First it was a cold around Christmas, then a pulled muscle in my back (or something), then it was the stomach bug which swept through our family, quick and ugly, and THEN I joined the rest of the country and contracted the dreaded flu which knocked me off my feet for over a week. Which I couldn't believe because a) how can you get sick when you were JUST sick?! It shouldn't work like that, right? and b) I had my flu shot back in October!! I had to cancel my big MRI appointment, the first 'watch and wait' MRI since surgery and something that I am equal parts excited and terrified about. So discouraging and disappointing.

Not a great start to the New Year, which I had high hopes for. It's definitely been a challenging month and I am ready for the challenges to stop piling so high above my head.

Two good things:

My rescheduled MRI is only 5 days away. Just have to stay healthy for 5 more days (which I am trying to achieve by avoiding all public places and most people!)

And Miles. That kid is so fun and so cute and so generous (seriously, most generous toddler I know, always running over to me to hand me his toys and books and cheerios :). I can't get enough of him and his little voice and his smiles.

And you know what? I'm going to post some of those now out of date Christmas pictures, anyway :)
