Well HELLO my dear friends!!
here I am
back in the land of the living...
almost...
I have been in bed for the last 3 days
fighting a cold/flu type bug
he snuck up on me last Thursday
(the lack of sleep did not help I fear)
but did not knock me to the ground until Sunday
oh he is a nasty little critter :(
but to the doctor's this morning
medication for sinus infection
it will be back to work tomorrow
six pounds lost
copious amounts of tea drank
3 boxes of kleenex used
20+ hours of movies watched
and with too many hours of
daytime television watched
comes the confirmation that Dr. Oz
is a bit of a quack...
(alas I suspected as much)
now...
on to more productive things...
back to the couch
ipad in hand
tea and Banjo by my side
to spend the day
reading and catching up
with my lovely blog peeps...
xo Catherine

sorry you are sick! but glad you are getting meds and rest, finally. :(
Hope you get well soon! Is it bad if I thought it's not so terrible getting sick if I could lose 6 lbs? lol
Glad you're on the mend; the boys send their purrs. :-)
I don't want to be that sick, even to lose a few extra pounds. LOL.
Выздоравливайте! и берегите себя.
So sorry you are not well,sounds like you had it a bit rough. It's lovely that Banjo is helping you get better. Take care and feel better soon. Hugs Anesha and SKipper
it's going around -- all the more reason I don't venture out much! Get better!
Keep warm my friend! ;-)
xo
Hope you are soon completely well.
I hope you are completely well soon, that sounds like an ordeal, and you made an intriguing comment about Dr. Ox.
Hope you're on the mend... although relaxing watching movies with Banjo at your side sounds like a great way to get well.

so sorry to hear you were sick, and glad to hear you are on the mend.
I had to stop watching Dr. Oz a while ago.
So glad you are on the mend, no fun being so sick you end up losing weight, been there done that and don't want to visit there again! So, what's with Dr. Oz, never watched him before but saw him on Oprah a week or so again, new book out, thought it might be interesting... please do tell! Cheers~
Oh My... So sorry you have been sick, Catherine. That is NO FUN at all. BUT--I'm sure that you had good caregivers --including Banjo...
Take care and don't plug back into life too quickly...
Hugs and Prayers,
Betsy
I'm sure you had Nurse Banjo to help you through such a torrid time and bring the tea and tissues. Get well soon. X
6 lbs? It's not fair I tell ya, I haven't lost any weight and I'm sick too! :) Get well my friend! Tea? uh well maybe ginger tea.
you poor thing, sick and having to watch doc oz... day time TV is not a thing i love for sure. hope you are feeling much better soon and don't require kleenex for a long time
Oh dear...sorry to hear that you are under the weather. I hear that is a nasty flu going around. Glad I got my flu shot this year. The only nice thing about being sick, is watching all those movies and TV shows, snuggled up on the couch!
Oh no! Not you too! I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel today, thank goodness. My dog is going stir crazy and I'm getting bored to death - we don't have tv so it's books & magazines for this invalid, when I have enough energy to turn the pages. Love the pretty pink flower.
I saw your nice blog and i love cats and all the animals in this world .
I stop and i come back,to read more.
I hope now your are well,this was a bad infect,i am sorry!
Now relax and a have a happy time♥

Bon rétablissement Catherine. Chez nous aussi il y a la grippe ! Bisous. CricriCat
O no !! that sounds no good !!...i hope you recover soon....love from me...xxx...
I sure hope you feel better and that evil bug leaves you alone!
I hope you stay on the mend!!!
Sorry to hear you have been sick but glad you are feeling better. The last time I was sick I discovered the horror of daytime tv. I think it helped me to recover faster. LOL!
Oh, I'm SO sorry you've been sick! I hope you are well on the mend by now.
There's some stuff called "Airborne" that all the teachers around here take when they start feeling sickly; also Echinacea (sp?) can help give your immune system a boost when you need it most (to hopefully avert disaster).
I have to say, except for the cold part, an iPad, cup of tea, and a Banjo sound like a pretty good deal ;o) Horsey hugs to you girl!
I'm glad you're beginning to feel better Catherine, it seems everyone is being bitten by the same bug. Isn't it nice having Banjo by your side? What a sweetie!
Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well but glad to hear you're feeling better!
Welcome back!
Oh, you poor thing! I hope you are feeling better soon.
As nice as "couch time" is, it's no fun when you are sick. :(
Man, sleepless nights and the cold and flu....
Sure hope you are feeling better soon.
Bert
Ack! Beware the toxic flu! Take care of yourself!!
hope you feel all better ....very soon....
Beautful flower for beginning the day Catherine...and I hope also that you feel all better now....x
Be well...
With healing hugs,
Judy
Sorry to hear you've been sick...wow, I'd sure be happy if I lost 6lbs though! Lol... take care...
Sorry you haven't been well. :( I've been on antibiotics three times since Christmas. I'm just getting back on line and finally feeling close to "normal."
I watch Dr. Oz. Some of the stuff he says is helpful...but if one took all the supplements he suggested you wouldn't have time to do anything else. The best thing I have gotten from him is having a bit of peppermint extract each day. I have it in sugar free hot chocolate each evening and have not had acid reflux since I started doing it.
That is one knock you down, and keep you out of it flu...hope that you are much better soon.
It's been going around a lot.
Take good care of yourself, and get better soon.
Jen
Oh no! I'm so sorry you were sick. It's nice to lose six pounds but of course not in this way...must have been so hard :-(
Glad you are better now!
Sorry to hear you've not been well Catherine...
Hope you're feeling better soon!
Take care,
K&S xx
Hope you are feeling better soon.
Stay well, warm and rested =)
Glad you're on the road to recovery... I agree about Dr. Oz... he endorses way too much stuff on his show...
I'm so happy you're feeling better! I sure hope you have a good sleep schedule again. :)
Dearest Catherine,
Especially with Banjo at your side it will work; their fur gives you special warmth and they radiate LOVE.
Hugs to you,
Mariette
at least a flu is good for something - 6 pounds lost? that's great! :-) hope you're feeling better soon!
So glad you are on the mend! keep a wonderful weekend!
Hang in there kiddo. You'll make it...;)
Yes I can feel for you...I've had it now for over a week and I'm sick of it!
Get well soon! Have a nice rest.
Sorry to hear you were so sick, Catherine, hope you are feeling better now !
Big hugs,
Sylvia
Glad to hear you are on the mend! Agree about too much tv ... and Dr. Oz which sort of saddens me.
I wish you a speedy recovery!
Greetings.
I do hope you are feeling better my friend. That is no fun at all. I have not up to par myself. Not sick but I had some skin cancer removed which has had me on the couch for 2 days. YIKES.. But I am feeling a bit better today.
Hugs~
Oh dear! The three humans in this house have the flu too, it is not fun AT ALL! We hope you're well on the way to recovery x
Oh my- so sorry to hear you've been down with the flu- I hear it's pretty nasty this year, even with a flu shot. Hope you feel well enough for work tomorrow!
I hope you wil be better real soon.Take good care of yourself
xxx Elisabeth
