So, no movie after all. Audrey came down with the stomach flu at about 10 o'clock last night and was up every hour throwing up. Poor kid. But she's been feeling better (and rotting her brain with an all-TV-all-day-long kind of a day) for the past few hours. She's even kept some ginger ale down.
Thanks to those of you praying for her. It's made her feel better to know that there are people all over saying prayers for her sick tummy.
Despite the change in plans and needing to wash sheets and spray the entire house with Lysol and wash my hands every five minutes (they are SO dry and starting to crack from it all!), I've been working away and am making progress. Still in my jammies, watching the snow swirl down, and typing away. In fact, I think I may need a break because my hands are feeling a little arthritic, stiff, and achy.
Think I'll ask Toben to build me a roaring fire...
P.S. Today is our sixteenth anniversary--in sickness and in health!
**LATER**
The fire is delightful, I'm more than halfway done, and I'm ready to go crawl in bed with a book. I thought Audrey was feeling better--she ate a piece of toast for dinner--but now she's moaning and groaning again. Maybe the toast wasn't such a good idea after all.
Happy Anniversary!
I'm glad to hear that Audrey is feeling a little better. Knock on wood, we have all been healthy so far this year.

Yikes! Forgot to say "Happy Anniversary" in any of the 20-or-so e-mails I've sent you today! lol.
Hope everyone is well soon and you and Toben are able to celebrate properly.
happy anniversary!

Oh boy...no fun...we haven't had the stomach bug here but a monster cold bug that has hit 3 of the 5 of us...mine started Christmas eve...don't have a lot of appetite even for cookies...so you know I am sick...tee hee.
I hope the stomach bug stops in its tracks and I will pray to that end...
God knows the length and breadth of your days and He will honor your labor and your time even if arrives differently than you expected.
Happy Anniversary...and on that note...I guess He knew and your parents that you should celebrate early...glad that you did!

I sure hope that she has turned the corner and NOONE ELSE gets it!! I bet you'll work hard at getting that book done. You just amaze me and inspire me. Thank you for all the sharing you do.
Hugs~

If you have never used it before, get some Aquaphor for those dry hands! They will feel a million times better in a few seconds. :)

Stomach bugs are no fun, especially when you are working towards a goal. I hope she is feeling better, and that you get your book done.
