Over the weekend I was still snuffling and coughing like I was at least 100!! The difference to Friday was that I wasn't like one little pig..I was like all three little pigs and the wolf too!! I was doing the snuffling and snorting of the little pigs like there was three of me...plus I was huffing and puffing like I was going to blow the house down!!
I tried Vick, Olbus Oil, steaming with menthol crystals.....sipping hot chai with honey, ginger and lemon...and so much more!! The result was zilch. By Monday I had well and truly got a wheeze and I felt like I was drowning. The only thing to do was to call the doctor. I tried to breath and talk at the same time, not something I normally struggle with, lol. All the huffing and puffing must have made me sound like an elderly frail lady and he told me I needed to come in so he could check me out. When I got there he took a listen ....with a very cold stethoscope.....and prescribed antibiotics for a chest infection. I hope these work, if not they'll need to put me down. I'm a hazard to the healthy!!
Today I'm still feeling rough but don't want to spend too much time lying in bed in case it makes my chest worse....hopefully tomorrow will bring results. Good ones that is!!
Enough of my woes...I need to say thank you for two lovely awards that were passed to me last week. I have been dreadful the last few months in keeping up with these and passing them on. For my past sins, I apologise. I have turned over a new leaf and will deal with these promptly in future, promise!!
Swapna at Crafts and Cooking passed me this extremely chic, very Parissien looking award. It is gorgeous, thank you! I love Crafts and Cooking, the recipes make my mouth water every time I visit...which is most days. Drop by and see for yourself.
The rules are
- Add the logo to your blog
- Link to the person who passed on the award
- Nominate blogs of your choice
- Leave a message on the nominee blogs
I pass the award on it these favourite blogs:
Beettle's Memories 'n Ramblings
The second award was passed to me by the lovely Jackie (Shinade) at The Painted Veil. Her blog is full of colour as she shares the results of her wonderful photography, plus she is such a lovely lady. It's well worth a visit!!
I pass this award some more special blogs:
From a Little Yellow House In England
And finally before I go a small gift, a mini kit. All I can say about it is; it's simple, bright and I think quite pretty. So Enjoy!!
You can download Sweet and Simple here
I have had so many problems uploading to 4shared this last few months that the download is via Media Fire. I am so sick of spending 20 or 30 attempts
Take care and see you soon.

Thanks for always having something special to share with us as a download. You make scrapbooking fun and help make things interesting!
Thank you for sharing this cute kit. Yes I a have the same problem with 4shared too. Hope you get to feeling better.
Oh my June I do feel so bad for you. I also apologize for being so late getting by.
But, last week as you know was rough for our family too. So I am paying visits today.
Oh dear, I have had what you are describing and it is dreadful.
But, usually for me after a day or so on an antibiotic I do see improvement.
Congratulations to all of your recipients and congratulations to you!
Hope you have a lovely week this go round!
Jackie:-)

Hi, there,
I'm so glad you are feeling better. But, June, you are the backbone of your family. You must take care. Please, don't be in too big a hurry for anything that you don't have to do. Take care of yourself. Please? LOL

How are you, June?
I hope you are recovering.
best wishes,
Duni
Hope all is well with you. Haven't seen you for a bit. hugs
Hope your feeling better. Sounds like you have a bronchitis, a pre-pneumonia. Also sounds like the doctor needed to be called earlier. I say this from experience. I've had the same thing...took forever to feel better. Hubster had it two different times.
Do take care of yourself, and congrats on both your lovely awards.
Sandy
My My Goosh you have been MIA For a Longgggg Time.....
Hope that all is OK....
Looking Forward to Your Digi Return!!!!!
This is so not like you to go without posting for so long. Hope everything is OK and you are well on the road to feeling much better.

Hi Cen! You haven't posted since last year and we miss you! Did you move or change blogs or something? Hope you are well!
I hope your feeling better Cen! Have you ever tried a Neti Pot? I was real sick this January and a nutritionist I know suggested trying it. It's all natural, no medicine or chemicals and it is AMAZING!!! Just wanted to pass that along for next time.
Have a great day & Happy Holidays!
Came back hoping you've posted again. Hope all is well?
Very pretty and so nice of you to offer! Thank you :) And many thanks for the Birthday Wishes! Blessings, Colleen
