An After Easter Resurrection!


I'm back in the studio after a brief "vacation" recovering from acute sinusitis which hit me the day after Easter!  After four days "languishing" in bed with the heating pad and lights out,  a visit to the Doc became unavoidable. Now, armed with my antibiotics and a list of new "rules" to follow I have been trying to catch up from four days of doing nothing..... not even the laundry.
Depressing situation...... you could say..... but the positive side is that I gave my hooking hand a much needed rest that it probably wouldn't have gotten had I not been forced to stay in bed! 
SO..... I may be sneaking in a couple late nights this week to finish up my offerings for Friday's update on the Mercantile.  My deepest thanks to the person who invented antibiotics.....  they don't give them out as freely as they used too.... so I am thankful the Doc agreed I was qualified as sick enough  for a prescription.  Is that a positive?......  in any event I'm grateful!
Stay tuned as I play catch up while behaving myself and remembering the nasal spray twice a day!!!

  3. So sorry that you've been sick and I hope that you will feel well very soon. I've had plenty of misery in my life but I've never experienced sinusitis thank goodness.
    Speedy recovery my friend. Resting will give your hook a chance to cool down and for you to mend.

    Hugs,

  12. "Down for the count"is the expression that came to mind when I read your post. I think you are not easily "floored" and I agree that this was nature's way of making you catch your breath. Glad that you are on the mend, and I am sure you will have a great time - all fresh and shiny - at your show.
