¿Merry Christmas? (long)

Helloooooo!! I know, I know, it's been a long time...

First of all MERRY CHRISTMAS I hope you're enjoying the season with your family and friends :o)

We started out on Sun 21st with a family lunch at home to "celebrate" we already have the furniture of the living room (that will be the theme for another post).

My parents, my sister & her boyfriend and the two of us, we had such a great time!!
First the luncheon and then SingStar :o)
I was an elf for that day, their faces were priceless!!

Christmas for me was supposed to be as usual although a little bit busy at work. Jose was supposed to drive down to the South on Christmas Eve to spend these days with his family since I was on duty on the 25 & 26 morning shift and yesterday double shift. I would have Christmas Eve's dinner at my parents' as well as Christmas lunch after work...

The real thing... on the afternoon of the 23rd he started feeling wrong and I was feeling kind of "strange" myself... my poor little boyfriend was at 101.12ºF on Christmas Eve's morning and, of course, I didn't let him take his car for a 4.5 hours drive. he felt horrible during the day and we had dinner at my parent's with them my mother's mom and a friend of mine who doesn't have any relatives and was alone at home.

On Christmas morning I went to work at 8am and was feeling "weak" all the time; I talked on the phone to Jose and still had fever. I had lunch at my parents' but he couldn't. I spent the evening sleepy on the coach... by 10.30pm I was at 101.48ºF and had to phone the supervisor at the hospital where I'm working.

On Friday, the two of us were feeling miserable and went to the doctor; we've been home since then... fever, cough, headache, bodyache, dizzyness,... family worried,... but I think it's almost over :o)

I'm not on duty till next Jan 2nd, so I hope I'll be 100% again.



Well, before the viruses caught us, I received a few packages which brightened up my life :o) Enjoy!!!

Well, I hope I start the New Year in a better shape... and I also hope I can get my hands on my new stuff soonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

A big hug and good luck!!!!




P.S. I must admit I've cheated a little bit... I'm posting this on 12.31.2008, 12.30pm, but I had it almost ready and wanted to keep it at the same posted time than my blog in Spanish, I hope you don't mind!!
