Happy Birthday to me..

I won't mention how old I am here, so don't bother asking! Suffice it to say that I'm at that age where I don't want to discuss numbers. :p And with this nasty virus/bug/arthritis thing I've come down with, I actually feel about 40 years older than I should. Yes folks, I'm a good example of why you should always go to the doctor when you feel under the weather.




I woke up Saturday am with my joints swollen beyond belief, and a red rash all over my arms. I couldn't close my hands or make a fist and I was so exhausted I could barely walk. Needless to say, I freaked out and called my good friend and neighbour, who drove me to the clinic. I was a basket case. I was told I have a bacterial infection of some sort, probably due to my sinus woes from a few weeks ago, and they put me on antibiotics for 10 days. It seems to be helping, but I'm still very stiff and arthritic when I wake up, and it lasts for a good 2 or 3 hours. Today I'm not feeling as good as yesterday , so if it's not better than this tomorrow, I will be going back for blood tests and whatnot. But other people have told me they've had this, and it goes away with time. I am praying it's fast! Please send me some healthy vibes instead of birthday wishes if you would.. I sure could use them right now. Have a mentioned that I'm a total hypochondriac, and have been having all sorts of awful thoughts running through my head for the past few days? NOT good!! My hubby is away on business, so I've decided to take a few days off of work, to relax and get better. I just want to feel my age again, and not 80, kwim?

I won't be having a cake, but I thought this one was kind of cool. I'll be taking the kids to Dairy Queen after supper, ( take out from my fave pizzeria) and we'll have Blizzards to celebrate. :)
And then it's hockey night in Canada baby! GO HABS!!!
