Dear Journal~

It's me, Ronee'.  Hope this finds y'all well.  Me, I'm afraid I'm not at my best.  Woke up with my eyes stuck together, nose clogged up, and with a killer headache that feels like someone's been using my head as a vice--and the vice is getting tighter and tighter. *OW*

Seems I've come down with another sinus infection.  I can smell the goop that's blocking my sinuses; it's beyond nasty!  I'm coughing my guts out, and I ache all over.  I'm very miserable.

I guess I won't be going anywhere today; guess I'll be staying in bed, trying to nurse my poor, abused nose/head.  *OW*  I feel too bad, for one thing.

The thought of trying to eat nauseates me.  I do have to eat a little something, though, so I can take my meds, but I'm not eating much, for fear I'll hurl all over the place.  That wold not be a good thing; I absolutely HATE to throw up!!

Maman just came in, was sorry to see that I'm sick.  I guess that means I won't be going to church tomorrow.  Instead, I can just lay in bed, feel sorry for myself.  That, or sleep.  Need all the rest I can possibly get when I'm sick like this!!

I'm just glad my breathing/asthma isn't involved.  The only thing with my breathing that is involved is that I'm having a hard time trying to breathe through my blocked schnozzola, so I'm breathing through my mouth.  It's gross!  And I'm coughing, honking like a Canada goose!  I really sound terrific--NOT!!

Well, I am going to go:  head, body hurts too much, for one thing, can't concentrate.  I am going to go back to sleep; have nothing better to do.  Take care, and may God bless you!  I just hope I'm over this crud by the time LeCajun rolls around; I'd absolutely hate to miss it!!  That would be disasterous!!  Especially since I'm performing there!! 

O, woe is me!!

~Love, your (sick) friend, Ronee' Le-Anne Reaux. :( *cough, cough*
