To anyone I'm trading with, etc... :

Please forgive me for my lateness with trades, or any SASEs that I had requested but have not sent out yet.
As for the SASEs in which I asked for something, I won't send them out w/out double checking if there is anything available.
As for trades in which my side is owed, I'm sorry I haven't gotten them out yet, I have a couple that are ready to go out so I will ask someone to mail them for me.

I've had the worst cold ever for over a week now, and a few days ago- although my cold symptoms were seemingly leaving me- I was having a horrible pain in my ear (alot of ear pressure + a kind of throbbing sensation) which got increasingly worse. I just got back from a walk-in clinic where I was informed that my ear looked "terrible" or like "a wasp's nest", with some medicines, so hopefully they'll work off the infection (enough so that I can sleep)!

Too much information?! ;)

Again, thanks guys & gals, you're all great & thanks for understanding. I don't doubt that I'll be out of bed and getting everything done by Monday at the very latest.

Gina,

You don't owe me anything but I wanted to share my sympathies with you.
I just got over that (with the help of medications $63.00) same kind of feeling. I had a bacterial infection for 6 weeks. At first I thought it was cold that would go away on it's own and tried all the over the counter stuff....needless to say it went from my throat to my chest, from my chest to my sinuses, from my sinuses to my ears and it was an AWFUL experience.
I wish you a quick recovery. Get plenty of rest and water.

Thanks Kim & Mark :)

Kim: 6 weeks?! Ouch :( I guess I got lucky that it went to my ears fairly quickly!!!

Thank you Mark from the UK! The pain in my ears went from about an 8 down to a 2, just a dull ache now- which is heaven by comparison, and I'm very happy to live with the congestion and sinus problems since I won't soon forget what having an "8" felt like ;)~

***By the way, 81 views and only 2 comments?!?!! lol, Where's the love, people?!

I Wish that you feel better Soon.

all the best:)

Sorry you have been so sick..I think about babies when I have ear problems...they are so awful...and babies seem to have so many..I wonder how they can stand that much pain! Hope you are feeling 100% better...a two is certainly an improvement! Speedy recovery!

I'm in the middle of a flu/cold/yuck sickness. so I know how it feels...I'm also hoping to feel better tomorrow since it's my day off from work!
Glad your ears feel better, been thru nasty earaches, NO FUN!!
Hope you feel better real soon!!

This bug must just be going around.... DH & I are recovering from something similar, thankfully without the ear infection, but wow some nasty sinus headaches.

I hope everybody gets better soon!!!

*hugs*

Thanks annette68 & JanetS :) [Yes; Australia!! I'm covering the globe, lol!!! I plan on going there someday, but frankly I'm kind of afraid of death. I'll tour it when they start making impenetrable boots with built-in pest control & I have a hunky brave native to show me around. ;) ]
And get well soon Kimmers & critterologist- it's definitely going around bad, I guess it was just my turn for an ear infection. :-/

"hope everybody gets better soon!!!" is definitely a good way to put it :) I agree!
