Coughin’ for Christmas

I spent last weekend resting, as I got this really annoying cough and a bout of exhaustion. I’m still not over it, and I’m beginning to wonder when the hell this terribly annoying cough will go away?! I’m on a z-pack now, and the cough is dry and persistent. On top of that, I started cramping! Woohoo!

Sadly, John’s not been around for comforting the past few days. He left on Tuesday for NY to be with his family for the holidays. (oh, my co-worker just turned on the radio and INXS is on!). Anyhow, the cats are keeping me company each night, but I haven’t been sleeping well. I thought it was because of my cough and the meds, but my co-workers think it’s because John isn’t home. I think they might be right! I miss him so much already!

Yesterday, I got my hair colored and cut. I was hanging out at my sister’s with her and our friend (my hair stylist) Paul. We had Italian Food and Häagen-Dazs. Yum! I love my red! It’s so pretty! Thanks, Paul!

So, I leave tomorrow for FL on a red-eye. Emma is house-sitting and taking care of the cats, with back-up help from Missy & Bobby. I am very excited to go to FL, but I’m upset that I won’t be able to see everyone. I am worried about not being able to get up to Melbourne, and I really want to! I just can’t seem to find any free time other than Christmas day, but that’s when everyone will be with their families… I decided to spend Christmas with James and his family in S.FL instead of asking to intrude upon my Melbourne friends, though I know they’d be happy to see me. I just don’t want to usurp their Christmas. Leilani is in town from Nottingham, England, so I am going to spend as much time with her as possible! I only get to see her every other year. 🙁 That’s not nearly enough!!! My grandma is upset that I’m not staying at her place; but, I really don’t see the need to sleep there, as she goes to sleep so early and I want to stay up late with friends. I will get to see her a few times, and will get to see my aunt, uncle and cousins too!

I am also excited about going to Orlando with Grace to go to Epcot and Animal Kingdom. That should be great fun, but I hope it’s not too crowded. One day next week, I’d like to go with the Liz, Jen, Skylar, Ashlyn and Courtney to Butterfly World! I hope we can figure out a good day to go!

In the meantime, I’ll be packing tonight and hanging out with Megan. If any of you are looking for me next week, call my cell or email me (I’m sure I’ll have a chance to check my email at some point). Oh, and I’m meeting anyone’s who’s interested in joining me at the Original Fat Cats on Dec 22nd at 8pm for some drinks (on Himarshee off of Las Olas).

Happy Christmas!!!
