I was laid low on Thursday with a stomach virus which resulted in a trip to the emergency room that evening when the cramps became unbearable. The vomiting gave me black eyes and a large red spot in the white of my right eye. A couple of days of anti-nausea and pain medicine and now I'm about as energetic as an overcooked noodle. At least I'm not throwing up or cramping! Although I'm feeling better, I am left with terrible gas and my horrendous farts are about to chase Rick out of the house! Hold your nose, please!
These beauties all arrived over the past few days. Little bright spots in the midst of my misery. I'm involved in a private ornament exchange with a few friends and January is my month to receive...
From Lisa V came this sweet freebie by Erynne stitched up as a little pillow ornament. Look at those cute little Christmas "lights" in the corners! Thank you, Lisa...I love it!
Then from Angela came this sweet Lizzy*Kate kitty. I love his argyle sweater and the plaid hanger! Thank you, Angela! 
As if I hadn't already been spoiled, I then received this little Prairie Schooler darling from Lori. I wish you could see all the pretty sparkle in the snowman. The little birds and the green scarf are right up my alley, Lori! Thanks!OK, I hope I didn't gas anyone to death...
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

They are nice. get better soon.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't sound like any fun! Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, poor you! That's a rough virus; I guess they were sure it wasn't food poisoning? Yike! Hope you feel better soon. Think broth, dry toast and stitching!
ReplyDelete(Adjusting gas mask-just in case ya know) I am so sorry you were so sick. Stomach bugs can be so nasty and it is a good thing you went to the doctor. I hope you are back to 100% soon.
ReplyDeleteLucky you to receive such beautiful ornaments. All of them look fabulous!
Sorry you are sick. Glad you are a little better. Love the gifts.
ReplyDeleteThat really stinks! Pun intended! Glad you are on the mend but oh my you must have been sick to cause the hemorrhaging in your eye plus the black eyes. ((Hugs))
ReplyDeleteYour gifts are beautiful!
I'm glad the Dam Birds story was able to tickle your funny bone. I can laugh about it now but boy was I pizzed then. I'll have to post the scrapbook page about the rabbits. That's a funny one too!
What beautiful gifts! Sorry you were feeling so rotten, but glad you're on the mend. **Holding nose - just in case LOL**
ReplyDeleteSorry to here you've been so unwell, what a nasty virus you've had.
ReplyDeleteJust let that gas rip, girl!!
OMG, lol! I hope you feel better soon! All those ornies are just great!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you've been feeling poorly, plz do take care ~ wishing you a speedy and flatulent free recovery. Sounds like what I had in April, to say it was dreadful is putting it politely. Even my doc wanted to hurl when I lost it all in front of her, poor doc, she now has a bio-hazard in her exam room. That'll teach her to avoid making house calls:)
ReplyDeletexoxo
I am glad to hear that you are feeling somewhat better. Although your gas problem sounds like no fun, it is definitely a step up from where you were a few days ago. Hopefully it will pass soon.
ReplyDeleteI love the gifts that you received. They are just adorable. Take care.

Sorry to hear you have been poorly Sharon. Your gifts are adorable.
ReplyDeleteThat it explains it. Haven't seen a ton of posts by you. Wow I can't imagine how violently ill you were to get black eyes. Glad you are feeling better. And as for the farts.....I guess it is time to be like a guy and just let 'er rip! Feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you felt so bad. Hopefully you'll be back to your perky self soon. Nice to have all those fun gifts in the mail to cheer you up.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hope that your stomach settles and I am very glad the the vomiting and cramps have stopped.
ReplyDeleteYou received some very lovely ornaments there!!
((((((((((((hugs))))))) I thought about suggesting a cork....but the result could be a disaster of international proportions....The possibility of exploding and expelling the cork like a bottle of champage would be just too much!
ReplyDeleteLovely ornies. Hope you are better already.
ReplyDeleteGosh--you sound like you were as sick as my husband was when he ended up in the ER in early December, Sharon. Please take extra good care of yourself...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure all of those darling ornaments are really helping to cheer you up :)
Feel better soon! LOL about the farting though! What lovely ornaments you received.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteSome great gifts.
I hope and pray you are better now. We had that virus going around the assisted living where I work and over 150 people got it, and by the grace of God I never got it.Praise God for that.It was active for over 2 weeks at work .Misrable to see the elderly so sick.We had to wear gloves and masks and most workers got it even then.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel 100% soon! Love the ornaments! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteAww, poor soul. At least you got some incredibly nice gifties to divert you!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel much better soon!
Poor you! That was a pretty nasty virus that got you and violent too.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you're on the mend now.
