sigh

Christmas is gone, my family jumped on a plane yesterday for home and now we are left with an empty (very messy) apartment. It was great having my family here- admittedly a little stressful for everyone at times, but wonderful. I can't wait to look through all the photos we've taken.

Now that the family is gone we're trying to catch up on our sleep and get the house back in shape. Unfortunately, I'm sick. I'd been fighting with a stuffy nose and clogged sinuses most of my families visits and now that I've let myself relax a little it's really hitting me. On top of that my face is all broken out in cold sores. it's disgusting and painful. I've never had a cold sore in my life and now it seems every time I look in the bathroom mirror another one is forming. I think I have about 8 at present. What really sucks is I don't know how to get rid of them. I tried calling the doctor because I was feeling pretty miserable and he's on vacation until January 5, did I want to make an appointment for then? Of course not, by then I'll hopefully be feeling better. Geeze, you'd think a doctors office would have more sense than that. Do people normally call up wanting to make appointments for a week later? Anyways I found another doctor who can get me in on Wednesday. I figured I could handle another couple of days without going over the deep end.

So, it was wonderful to have my family, I miss them already. But I am relieved to be able to sleep in my own bed. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to look through pictures from the last week and post some good ones. right now I think I'll try and take a little nap.
