Flu Shot, Schmoo Shot

I'm on day 2 of feeling like hammered shit. I generally have a "No whining" rule, unless you have a fork in your eye and/ or you are bleeding from your ears, but this flu/ cold/ alien in my chest and sinuses is kicking my ass.
All last night I was up blowing, what would seem to most reasonable people, an unnerving amount of crap out of my head.  I must have gone through an entire roll of Charmin.
I looked like a ridiculous mess. Toilet paper shoved up both nostrils, laying on my back, mouth open, eyes watering, back aching and my 8 week old, long haired chihuahua, Elliott, laying on my head.  I must have been so delirious last night because I distinctly remember cuddling what I thought was my little ball of fluffy love, Elliott, but disturbingly it was a ball of fluffy charmin snot rags. I was so tired and drained I couldn't even muster enough strength to be grossed out over my hallucinogenic state.
To top it off, I woke up in a drying puddle of sweat -  most likely from breaking a fever, so that's a plus!
 I ache. I can't breathe. I can't taste. I can't sit up. Can't lay down. I am miserable.

Since I have been home with so much time on my hands, I have been doing a lot of catching up on blogs and Pinterest, (follow me if you want).
The coolest blog I found yesterday is The 36th Avenue, by Desiree Campbell.  This woman has it all...sewing, stenciling, painting, hot gluing... she is a Martha Stewart wet dream.
She makes me want to go buy a $400 Kitchenaide Stand Mixer and a hot glue gun.
 She also offers some of her items for sale, though I would rather try and channel my own crafty goddess and do it myself.
One thing I found on her site was a whole bunch of craft ideas under $5.00. The coolest by far. I love her idea on the Dollar Tree Christmas village figurines painted black for Halloween. What a great idea - and fun for the kids too!
I'm off to go explore the 1,652,458 channels we have (seriously... a little overkill Bright House)  and hopefully get some rest before my offspring come home and want me to do things for them, like feed them and pay attention to them.
