So I have not just been lazy, I have had the shingles!!! By the way, I had heard it before, but I am telling you that the shingles are VERY Painful! I have been on a morphine pill for most of last week!! It started with what I thought was a backache last weekend. By the time I managed to get this all under control, I had been to the emergency room, had an X-ray, picked up 3 different pain killers, had an ultrasound on my gallbladder, had 9 attempts to begin an IV in my arm, had a cat scan, and finally slept for a week on heavy medications. Yesterday was one of the first days that I was able to leave my bed!!! I am feeling better I am happy to report, & almost all of the pain has gone away!

Now I am back into the scrambling to catch up side of things. Brian, Bridget & Kendra are all having big birthdays this month so I have some work to do! We are due to visit Chicago and a few other things if everything works out right. Also, it looks like I will be in GA in March and that things are about to starting picking up the pace in a major way
