Sick Days

You might have noticed  I have not blogged much since my courthouse wedding. Since the wedding, my life has been very eventful. 

There were the United States Presidential election results and all of the news coverage left me too overwhelmed to go online lest someone feel like shouting at me. I decided not to associate with people who feel the need to shout at me.

Then my husband's brother Jeremy got married to his high school sweetheart. 

Thanksgiving had me go to at least four dinners and have several people over.

And there were research papers the whole time.

So I felt like this:

You wouldn't know it, but this look conveys extreme anxiety.

I became a little run down and now I'm sick. I spent most of the last few days laying around, sneezing, coughing, and other unpleasant things. Every so often I will blink and before I know it, it looks like this outside:

My view of the last minutes of the sun setting just before 5:30p.m.

Seriously, are you kidding me? Not ten minutes later and it is pitch black outside.  Isn't that blue gorgeous though? It's like cobalt glass.

I have been chewed up and spit out ... and then swallowed again in the world of Facebook games. UGH!

So today I ordered a new digital camera! Yay! I can't take photos with the crappy one I currently have without using a pair of tweezers. Here is what I treated myself to:

Canon PowerShot SX260 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 20x Optical Zoom - Black from Target.com

I pretty much know very little about cameras but this one had good reviews and I'm super excited to be able to take pictures again.

Tomorrow I go back to work.  I still feel pretty cruddy but I can't sit around coughing for another day.
