I have been feeling puny. Not exactly sick, anymore, but still very puny. Germs hit most people and result in a cough, sinus attack, GI issues, etc. Days later, it seems to go away and all is well. Lucky. If whatever the germ is attacks waist up, guaranteed I will be dealing with it for weeks.

And so I am enjoying my first ever week off work between Christmas and New Years and spending the whole time getting winded from going up the steps. Wonder Boy goes to work (ha!) and comes home asking what I did. Answer: nothing. “You must be getting stir crazy,” he says. Nope. In fact, yesterday I went out to volunteer at the animal rescue and it did me in!

On the upside, I have watched more Law & Order SVU than I know what to do with and am caught up on reading. I just finished SuperFreakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. I tell you more about it soon when I do blatant self-promotion and link to the review I am writing for a site in England.

“Site in England?” you ask. Yes, that’s right. I am writing internationally now. I’ll fill you in on that soon.
