I'm Back But Not Completely.....

Hello dear world

How are you all today ?? I have to tell you that I am sorry for not writing you lately I have been terribly terribly sick these last couple of days. I don't know if anyone saw that I wasn't around lately but I will tell you my news.

Thursday and Friday I called off sick from work because I have been most terribly sick from a really bad cough and a raw sore throat. Thursday I had to call in sick and Friday I called in sick but I did go to the doctor and I was prescribed some medicine at Kaiser. The doctor also took a throat culture but I haven't gotten the results yet. I was also given some medicine to take which I have been taken so I can work on getting better.

Anywho.....After going to the doctor with my mom on Friday we went for breakfast at Cracker Barrel to eat. You might want to know that the Cracker Barrel was having a porch sale outside which was nice. My mom and I saw a few things we liked. She picked up a teddy bear beanie baby that she liked and a little something for my dad's bird garden he has in the backyard. I picked up a little moose stuffed animal that I thought was cute which my mom bought for me. Let me explain why she bought me the moose...I have always liked the moose as an animal I don't really know why. I have other moose stuffed animals such as the one I bought at the Pro Bass Shop a few days ago which I told you about. There is just something I like about the moose it seems like a really interesting animal.

After we did the porch sale my mom and I went inside where she paid for the items we picked up. A few minutes later we went and sat down and we decided what we wanted to eat. I chose what was called "Momma's Pancake Breakfast" which consisted of 3 perfect sized pancakes, some strips of bacon, eggs which I ordered scrambled and we also got some biscuits. I can tell you that they have the best pancakes and maple syrup at the Cracker Barrel. While I was eating my stomach didn't want to agree with me but I did eat despite my stomach because I was hungry.

In my other news.....I know that this might sound awful but I didn't finish reading the one of the books I purchased called the "Jane Austen Book Club"  book because I started reading "Coming Undone" by Susan Andersen . The book "Coming Undone" is a romance between a country music superstar named Priscilla Jayne Morgan who had to fire her crooked-manager mom. Then her record label hired a watchdog to escort her on her massive summer tour who is named Jared Hamilton, the guy she once idolized more than anyone in the world. I really like the book and its hard to put down. I will definitely hate finishing the book. Here is the link ----> http://www.susanandersen.com/

Last night I still struggled with my illness and feeling like absolute crap crap crap crap crap !!!!!!!!!!

I have to tell you that last night I did see (2) great movies on television. One of the movies was called "Woman Wanted" with Holly Hunter and my favorite actor from the show "24" named Kiefer Sutherland. I can tell you that Kiefer was very great in the movie and his performance was amazing. I am glad I saw it. You have to see this movie my dear world !!!!!!!!!!!!

The other movie I saw was called "Infamous" which was a portrayal of the writer Truman Capote as he worked on his book "In Cold Blood". I have to say that the portrayal of Truman Capote was done wonderfully. It brought to life the killers in the book and it showed the killers and how Truman depicted them in the book. It also showed what Truman Capote was liked during that time. It was a really great movie and I have to say that I recommend this movie as I did "Woman Wanted".

Well that's enough about me and my news. How have you been doing my dear world ? I hope all you are doing better than myself. I will have to catch up with my journal reading because I haven't been online because of my sudden illness I have been suffering with. Hopefully I will recover from this soon. Its terrible when your sick. This illness of mine has been draining so if you don't hear from me in your journal its not that I am ignoring you its just that I am sick so please forgive my being away from you.

I will try to get back into the swing of J-Land soon I promise. I do hope that you are all chugging along. I will talk to you again later and hopefully I am much much better.

Here are two links I wanted to share with you ---->

I hope you feel better soon. I always enjoy movies but especially when I'm sick. When I'm sick I can sit all day and watch movie after movie. Thank God for cable!!
Take care of yourself, and don't go back to work too soon.

My dear Monae,  I did miss you and wondered what you were up to. Didn't think you would be sick though.  Do hope you will soon be altogether better. I will be away now till 22nd. Sept. Hope to see lots of wild animals in Africa but don't think we will see Moose !!  Love Sybil xx

I was beginning to wonder what happened to the sweet Monae.  Usually you leave several entries a week and here this is the first since Monday.  I hope you get to feeling better sweetheart.  Hope your tomorrow brings better health.  Take care.

Presumably you're feeling better now?  I suspect if your throat didn't hurt too much to, say, drink orange juice (if you did), that hopefully that means you didn't have strept.  That can make me feel awful, anyway, and I know it's highly contagious.  Have a good week.
