I'm okay

I've gotten a few e-mails and phone calls asking if I was okay. Yeah I'm fine why? Just checking since your blog post haven't been the same as usual. Well I'm here to tell you I am just fine, I am super, super busy with work, photos, class and a project that is coming up fast. But thank you for asking since I have spent the last 2 nights coughing and not getting much sleep. It's been awhile since I have had a cold and I don't remember ever having a cough that is uncontrollable. I go to bed and I cough, and cough and cough.... then I roll over.... cough and cough and cough. I'm keeping John awake so I must stop coughing..... so I hold my urge to cough in and think..... don't cough, don't cough, don't cough and then I can't hold it in anymore and I cough and cough and cough. Now it's past midnight and I still have not gotten to sleep and I've coughed a million times.... I hold it in again and shut my eyes really tight and think.... you don't have to cough it's all in your head and then I feel a cough coming and I think it's going to be a really deep cough that is going to loosen up that tickle and I won't cough anymore and then I can finally get to sleep.... so I cough a big ole' deep cough and I cough and cough and cough.... this lasts all night long, I think a lot when I'm not sleeping...... I'm also thinking that if I'm up coughing all night long I could be working on my project and have so much more done..... now it's 2am and I finally get up to get a drink of water that will help, right? Nope but eventually I did fall asleep and stop coughing but it just in time for John to get up for work and I'm sleeping really hard. Now it's the 2nd night and I'm exhausted so I think this will be a better night and I promise John that if I cough I will sleep on the couch..... yeah well I had the same issues as the night before and I don't feel like leaving my nice warm comfy bed for the couch so I make him suffer with me.... and he does...... but this time at 2am he rubs my neck until I stop coughing and fall asleep.

So at lunch today I came home for a quick nap.

Are you kidding me, I don't nap...... thank you all for your concern but I am just fine. I'm busy and have so much going on right now that a photo with little words is all I can get some days. Soon I'll be able to show you what has been keeping me busy all night long, right now it's TOP SECRET.

Here I am and you can tell I am HAPPY...... coughing but happy. Busy makes me happy.

I know the new way to cough is in your elbow or arm not your hand.... I do cough that way but this way was so much more photogenic. Now for all of you that wanted stories with my photos are you thinking you shouldn't have asked.... :)
