At Least I Know

Well, the verdict is in.
My doctor was out of the office all last week, and I had to wait to get an appointment- long story... anyway, I finally was able to get in to see him, and amongst other things. I was right. It started out as allergies, then a sinus infection... Well, I have walking pneumonia!
I am so frustrated because all of my family is going to be together for the 4th. My brother and sister from out of town arrive today, and I still feel icky. Doc promised I would feel better tomorrow, and I am holding onto hope.
With 6 prescriptions, and orders to get lots of rest- I am trying- really I am, I think I am making progress. The endless coughing is starting to subside, and I think the elephant sitting on my chest might consider finding a new place to park his behind.
I think I will be going to bed early tonight as we have the big 3 hour long Stampede Parade in the morning, then our family BBQ lunch, then we have the church picnic dinner, games and of course all night fireworks.
I think I will be one tired mom by Saturday!

Go Fish

Here is my latest little art piece. It is an ATC. I have been really sick the last 3 days, and I think I am going stir crazy. At first I thought it was just allergies, but now I think I have a really bad sinus infection, because I can't breathe, and my throat hurts so bad. Anyway, I can't lay down because if I do, I really can't breathe, so I decided if I am going to have to be vertical I am going to do something with myself. So, I tried doing some art.

I didn't get very far because I am having a hard time thinking clearly, but slow and steady I made this little ATC for the Winner Takes All Paper Traders lotto. I am calling it "Go Fish".

The fish on the left side is set with pop dots, which gives him a little dimmension, and his little bubbles are epoxy letters. The fish eyes have been touched with crystal lacquer and the leaves have green glitter on them. Both fish are embellished with metallic gold pen, to give them that shimmer as they "swim". The entire card is then trimmed in gold as well.
