Drive-by Update

Health
Almost, but not quite, driving by this time. My mom's been sick. Had some test done, didn't react well. Test turned out okay, but found out some long-term health problems she's got. They're not serious, but enough to make her day to day life hell.

I've been sick too. Haven't been able to shake it. I'm tired all the time. I've had a lingering fever. My migraines are worse. I'm starting to get a bit better. I'm going from sleeping 12 hours or more to 9 or so now.

Christmas
My mother and I are making all our gifts this year, which is why we're on the way out the door. We're heading out to the craft and beading store to pick up supplies. We're doing candles, jewelry, craft totes, gift baskets, book bags and jeweled bookmarks. Things like that. We've got a ton of baking to do now too.

That's about all for now. How's everyone else getting ready for the holidays?

I really hope now that they've found those health problems, your mom is going to improve fast. And I'm sorry you're sickly too. *hugs* Although I'm quite envious you can sleep that long. I'm lucky if I get 8 hours during the week. ;)

We haven't really started getting ready for the holidays. Only thing I do are my fruitcakes and I guess I should get started with those this week.

She seems to be doing okay now. Not 100%, but far better than in the past. I think knowing what was causing the problems helps immensely.

I'm rather missing my 12 hour nights now. Normally, I don't get more than 6 or so. I have time for more, but my body just can't take it.

I'm really sorry about your mom and I hope you get well soon.

Thank you! I think we're both doing better. Just in time for the Holidays too!

Sorry to hear you've both been unwell. I hope your mom is doing okay. *hugs*

*hugs* I think Mom's doing okay now. Not completely back to her old self, but knowing what's been wrong helps. I'm about as good as I can be considering it's too damn cold outside! :)

Sounds like fun, making your owen gifts (especially doing it not alone; more fun).

*sends get well wishes*

It's been a lot of work, but it really has been fun making our own gifts. I think I've spent more time considering who I'm giving the gifts to as well, which is something I've been missing out on in years past.

Thanks for the well wishes. We're doing much better this week!
