- I can’t breath out of the left side of my nose.
- The room is spinning, while I’m holding perfectly still.
- My eyes feel waterlogged.
- My hearing is muffled, clarity achieved only by the annoying popping of my jaw. I have not changed my altitude.
- My throat randomly misplaces my voice, no amount of clearing helps it return.
So yep, I’m totally down with that. I’m down with whatever the “crud” is that everyone else has. This is the first time I’ve been sick all winter, that I can recall – so I’m grateful to have held out for as long as I have. Tylenol Severe Cold is my friend. The room can stop spinning any time now.
The rose, by the way, is from my Valentine’s Day bouquet. I’ve applied some special effects – vignetting and antiquing with PhotoScape, a really great free photo editing software that I found through Pam. I am in the midst of a software deliberation that is bordering on making me insane as the price tag is just — ouch. I love the product I’ve been using for years, but it lacks the vector editing that I desperately need to make my life as a blog designer a much happier one. Of course that will necessitate a new system (Hello, Dell Dude, this is where you come in and offer me a great deal). I’m not entirely down with that, yet!
Today, I’ll be painting. After I have a steamy hot shower and clear my head. Then I’ll dive back into the design front, as I’m working on 6 projects simultaneously, as my schedule is quite full and I’m very excited to be keeping so creatively busy!

Oh, no! The crud has stricken everyone! Hope you feel much better soon… I found that Zicam helped immensely.

I had hoped you were “DONE” with that! I do believe you have found the proper name for it! Crud – that’s exactly what it is, and that’s exactly how you feel! I’m sorry to hear that it’s still with you, and I hope the kids don’t “come down with that” too!
God Bless you and Cure your Crud! Try to get lots of rest – it’ll help!
:sleeping:
Yuck. Sorry to hear you’re down with the crud. I’m trying to stay crud-free forever after my last flu battle. Get some rest, my friend! :friends:

So sorry to hear that you’re sick…it seems to be going around everywhere.
I just heard there’s this version of the flu going around here where you get it, get over it and get it again only worse! I’m thinking that folks must be getting two different versions, neither of them covered with the flu shot. blech!
Please get well soon.

I’m sorry to hear your down with that – we went through a bout of “ick, ew, sneeze, cough, snot” at the beginning of the year, and wouldn’t wish that on anyone!
I love the work you’ve done on the rose photo, and will definitely be checking out the software you mentioned.
Get better soon!

YellowRose’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday – ?Withered Rose?
Have you looked into getting academic versions of the software? Pretty much all you have to do is have a kid who’s K-12.
Yep,
I was “down with that” for almost three (3) weeks. It evolved into a new stage, every week — ending with stuff stuck in my throat, that wouldn’t come up. Isn’t that just lovely?
Praise God it’s gone. Praying that it’ll “be down” somewhere else — away from you!
