I wish I had one. I'm about a month into my yearly 3 to 4 months of cold, flu, and general malaise. I really should have gotten those flu and pneumonia shots this year. I think they cut the time I was sick last year by about half.
I run constantly to not even stay afloat. Crap. All of us have so much going on that none of us are getting enough sleep.
I'm playing musical bed with my animals every time I do try to sleep so I've almost reached the point of giving up. My old, grumpy kitty is fine. She lays in my arms now like my kids used to do when they were babies. ;) It is a nice feeling. (Of course, they never had quite that much fur!)
The dear husband's dog on the other hand ( I don't claim him. I won't, he craps on my floors when he's mad and he gets WAY too friendly to the kitten and to visitor's legs! It's embarrassing!) this animal thinks that he needs to sleep ON mom's legs. ALL night! I end up waking up with back spasms and a sciatica and half of my body numb cuz my muscles have just taken too much abuse already to put up with his, admittedly slight, weight added to it.
My sleep doctor says that all animals should be kicked out of the bed. (Try telling that to a 13 year old b@tch cat with claws. I'll stand back while you explain it to her, repeatedly!) I think I'd miss our furry friends, but then I missed cuddling with the kids and "morning snuggles," once they got old enough to be on and about their day when they grew up. I do have to admit that I'm lucky enough to get snuggles and hugs from them when they come home from school and I'm napping. I know they are just trying to put off the evil moment when they have to start homework and their chores, but I delude myself into believing they like the contact. ;DEnough whiney BS from today. We're all alive, in debt, and dreading the thought of a 15 year old boy with a learner's permit...ouch!
Can I sign up to skip his birthday this year?
Excuse the disjointed ramblings. My posts are not nearly as well thought out as they should be.

Time to get back to your blog.
Wow! Someone actually reads this? lol
You mentioned a lot of illness this time of year. have you tried Black Elderberry as an anti-viral? I have a five year old and when we run out, we catch *everything* that's going around in the short people's world. When we take our daily doses, we seem to be able to beat everything off before we really get sick. It makes winter so much nicer!
We use a brand of syrup called Sambucus, though I have been wondering whether a nice tea would work just as well and be a lot cheaper...at least for the adults.
