Been sick for a week.

Well, it has been an interesting ten days since I wrote last.    I ended up with an upper respiratory issue, it wasnt actually a cold, but lots of congestion feeling in my chest.  My throat was very sore, and ears hurt and were itchy.  I did cough a bit but nothing seemed to loosen up the tightness in my bronchial tubes.  Had a lot of wheezing going on also.   Its the strangest thing to hear your lungs wheezing and squeaking.  This upper lung issue I think came about due to my adventure for week one of the year. At this stage of the blog, I am not sure who can read it, so I will not list the event yet, but promise to come back to it when I can.

Week One-

Also, I spent the weekend watching the Packer Game with Heemie and Adam at Buffalo Wild Wings.  Sadly, they lost the game, so will be waiting to watch next year.   Looking forward to trying to get tickets to Lambeau next season.

Had a horrible cold snap for a few days, and the temperatures went down to -40 degrees. Words can not even explain what -40 degrees feels like.   But as a result of the temps and being out in it, I ended up sick (see above) for over a week.

Adam left for Saudi on Thursday.  I am so proud of him, and how much he has grown up and matured over the last year.  He will be returning and starting a new job position in the near future.
Khalid and Steph left a few days before Adam, to return to Mississippi. It was fun having them home and we laughed a lot. Now time to settle down and look into Med School options for him, and get  him started on MCAT exams etc.

Week Two-    Spent Sunday afternoon with Mary, Jamal and Maya.  We had late lunch at Big Bowl in Roseville. Lynn was hoping to join us but in the end it didnt work out.   It was nice to spend the day with the girls, and talk about the issues that plague us.
Had a few days of tears, and lots of reflection.  Maybe my existence now is to search within myself to find a way to live with this darkness that haunts my mind.  I can push it aside and go on with my life, but I always feel the pain of the darkness as it always remains inside me.   Will my questions ever be answered,  or will time just slowly erase them and I will come to accept there are no answers.
