. . . day two . . .

. . . forty-eight solid hours 

of the sickies so far . . .

. . . and still nothing put away . . .

. . . as evidenced 

by mary engelbreit's 

the night before christmas 

and the throw covering my 

alternately burning up 

and then freezing body . . . 

. . . the only good thing today 

was finally taking the opportunity 

to start downton abbey . . .

. . . i know everyone says 

it's soooooo good . . .

. . . and it is . . .

. . . but i've had to rewind 

and play each episode 

about three times . . .

. . . i just can't stay awake . . .

. . . please bless that tomorrow

will be a better day . . .
