Welcome To My Casa Bella

My Casa Bella- means-my beautiful home- but it can mean so many other things. How you make your home a home. The sounds of children or pets playing. The aroma of scones in the oven or a lilac candle burning. The flowers blooming in your garden. The home grown vegetables ready to be picked. Grandma's quilt at the foot of the bed. A fire to curl up to with a good book. Or just a family spending time together with love, laughter and a good time.

CONTAGIOUS!!! WHAT??!!

Well, I went to the Doctor yesterday,
the cough was
not going away, my headaches were
not budging
so they got me in and I went,
I was afraid
but I had to go!
There's nothing better than when
your Doctor
walks into the room and sits down
and hears
you cough and says,
"I'll be right back, I need to get a mask"
MASK!
OK,
now I am really
freaking out!!
He comes in and
asks questions like, where does it
hurt, how long,
what have you been feeling,
etc. etc. etc.
"Have you gone anywhere lately?"
Yes, I say, to TN.
"HMMMM, your lungs are clear,
which is good,
but...."
BUT, BUT WHAT?
"....You have a virus, and you are
very contagious...
I'll give you an inhaler and some
cough medicine,
take those, if in a week you're not
better or if you feel
anything strange
in your chest,
CALL US RIGHT AWAY!"
A VIRUS!
So, I'm home, stuck in the house,
avoiding people,
trying to feel better.
So far so good, I am feeling
a little better
today.
So I'll do some crafts.
Watch some
movies.
DH, brought me these as a
surprise!
What a wonderful husband I
have, I know.
Oh well, at least now I know what
it is.
I called my mom, I told her I thought
I was dying.
She laughs, in case you haven't
noticed I'm a
little
dramatic,
just a little.....hehehe.
But dad called me this morning,
wanted to make
sure I was OK.
How sweet!

On a different note now,
I know, its not
always
about me....sheesh,
My dear friend
over at
is having a giveaway,
she too went
for some tests,
but they came
back
real
good
for
her,
I'm so happy, Monika!
So go over to her
blog
and
join in the giveaway.
Monika is
so talented, she
embroiders
beautiful things.
I'll also will link the giveaway on my
sidebar as well.
Enjoy your day!

Is It Too Hot??!!

Aren't my tomatoes pretty?
I'm surprised
I have any with how hot and dry
we've been
here in the NE area, actually
I think the
majority of the east coast is
suffering.
We returned from our trip to TN
and the weather
there is the same as it is here in
PA!
Hot, Humid, Hazy and just
plain
MISERABLE!
But today I'm feeling miserable.
Thursday afternoon
I started to have a dry cough
that hurt, a little.
Then Friday morning I went to work
and started feeling
dizzy, sweaty, shaky, and very
tired.
I did my job and went to the grocery
store to get some
Chicken soup ingredients.
Came home,
finished my work online, and made
soup.
I've been on my couch ever
since.
Drinking green tea, watching Hallmark
movies, or TCM movies.
There is nothing worse then being sick when
its
a 100 degrees outside.
But I'm not sure what I have.
not sure what's going on,
my boss
thought maybe heat exhaustion
but I don't do
anything in this heat.
I
HATE
the heat so I stay inside
mostly.
I drink plenty of liquids.
I thought maybe
the flu,
but its not,
the headaches and dizziness
are not fun.
I'm still coughing, a dry cough
that hurts
what in the world do I have??
So I'm home today
feeling sorry
for myself, and at the same
time,
very frustrated.
Someone
shoot
me!
Hope your weekend is alot
better than
mine!
