Hello to All

I wanted to thank everyone who wrote me. I am not quite up to par to answer all of them, but I will. I am on tons of medication, but luckily did not have to go to the hospital. I really didn't want to go there, as I have heard of the occasional MRSA case and was a bit worried about that. Anyways, the antibiotics have kicked in and most of the infection is gone. I am just really run down and have been doing nothing but resting and getting spoiled by Joe. It will take me some time to gain my strength back, but I will. Joe took me out to our favorite local coffee shop, so that was nice. I have been playing my Wii from my lounge chair all covered up snug as a bug...I am into the game Rune Factory Frontier, and I have also been reading my James Patterson book.
My Cinch binding machine arrived, and it works amazingly well, and is easy to do.
I also joined a club at Crafty Alley, which is in County Kerry, and they sent me their July kit full of goodies for the journal that I have planned. I am making a Twilight journal for writing my thoughts in, and it should be really lovely. I am such a diehard fan of Twilight, I thought I had to have a journal about it all. I ordered some supplies from Crafty Alley, and most of them are Tim Holtz products, which include his stamps, distressed inks, and his wonderful new paper pad that just came out called Ideology Lost and Found, which will be perfect for the Twilight theme. I am also ordering the companion book to the movies, which has tons of pics that I can use.

Thanks again for all your wonderful emails wishing me a quick recovery. They all meant so much! I will not be back to blogging and reading other's blogs till next week, as I just have to get back to my ol' self...This Irish lassie from Philly is most grateful to you all, and I can't wait to see what everyone is up to.

So pleased you are on the mend Micki and that Joe is caring for you so well.

Would you believe the word I had to type in for the comment was

"curer"

Lieve Micki ~ I am sorry to hear you were not doing well at all. I am glad you are feeling a bit better now and that Joe took you to your favorite coffee place.
Don't you worry about not visiting blogs or answering mails. Think of yourself and do some good reading. The books you are (going) to read sound great!

Please, just keep resting!

Nothing else matters.

Until you are fully better and yourself again.

Please.

Don't worry about emails or reading/commenting in blogs!

Don't.

Please.

Gentle hugs...

Micki, get well soon. I Know Joe is taking excellent care of you.

You do NOT need to use energy replying to my comments. you can reply to comments once you are well. (and don't try to go back and answer them all....it is unnecessary. )

I've just been catching up with nearly two weeks of your posts, including your Birthday- Many Happy Returns!, Dunfanaghy's Quilts- which look like it was amazing, a real shame I couldn't get up to you for the day, and the fact that your Shingles did another strike. You poor, poor thing, I'm so terribly sorry to hear that you've been so poorly, and being in such terrible pain knocks you for six even if the infection is small- which yours obviously was NOT.
You mind yourself now, at least the weather is warm so you aren't struggling to keep warm, but don't be getting up too soon because you want to play with your new craft supplies, or your new Bear when it arrives! Be good and just lie quietly and read good books- and I'm holding you in my thoughts a LOT!

You're supposed to be resting!

Nice goodies! I'll admit I have not read any of the Twilight books yet though I do own 2 of them. One of the movies opens here on Wednesday next week I think.

I am glad you are bouncing back. Don't overdo it.....just continue to rest and get your strength back. We don't need you to answer our individual comments...that's for sure...we'd rather you concentrate on getting well.

Judy S. said...

So sorry to hear you've been ill, Micki, but glad that you're on the mend. Take it easy and rest; I know you don't like to do either, but hey, humor me.

BROOKE said...

OH MIcki I missed your earlier blog as I've not been checking in as often as I should... OH MY what you've had to deal with lately. You've got to rest and take really good care because you just have to be well enough to go see Eclipse on JUNE 30th!

Beansieleigh said...

Hi Micki.. I'm so sorry to hear how sick you've been. I'm a little behind with everything and everybody, and am just trying to catch up these days. I'm glad to hear medications are helping at least... Oh boy, the big day for us "twi-hard" Twilight fans is almost here!! I am smack in the middle of the last book, "Breaking Dawn", and am loving every bit of it! I'll be sorry when it ends, just like the Harry Potter books, I'm sure! Can't wait to see your Twilight journal!!.. Take care and get well soon! ((hugs)) ~tina

Hi Micki~
So glad to hear you are doing better. My dad just had shingles and I was not prepared for it! What a terible thing for anyone to go through! I am so glad you have Joe there by your side, a perfect match, you two! You take care!
Hugs!
