Sorry I haven't taken time to update my blog - things have been crazy around the house. This past weekend we were in Dubuque for Thanksgiving with Dan's side of the family and we spent Thanksgiving Day with my family. It's always so nice to see family you haven't seen in awhile.

 

In other news I have found out that I have strong allergies to dust and mold and also weak allergies to feathers and... cats. So we have taken the down comforter off our bed and have banished Tristan from coming in. I have also started on allergy shots so hopefully my ears will begin to dry up and get back to normal. It would be awesome is this becomes the answer to why I'm always feeling so "off."

 

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Woke up this weekend with a frog in my throat. I might even sound more like a goose - but you get the idea. Also have a headache and pretty vast amounts of fatigue, but no sneezing or sore throat. I don't feel congested and feel like there's a small amount of drainage due to full ears...

 

So, what do I have?

 

And more importantly...

when will it go away? Bah.

DH and I got home today from our trip to Colorado to visit family and the cabin. We had a wonderful time but it is nice to be home.

 

Our first stop was down to Denver to see Stacy and D's new house. What a great place. We also took time to go to the Pancake House for awesome breakfast food. We topped off the visit with D coming home with a huge cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory for my birthday. They are such sweet people.

 

Our second stop was up near Johnstown and a dinner at Farmers with my aunt and uncle. Always wonderful food and we felt like we were trying to put away our second "Thanksgiving meal." We stayed at their place that night and headed up to the cabin the next day. We spent two nights and three days up there playing cards, board games, hiking and just bumming around in flannel PJs. What a great time away. Photos over there on the right in the gallery...
