icky sicky and the holidays

I am feeling better but still very congested and coughing alot, which is wearing me out. I went back to work today, having had sick days Thursday and Friday - this after TTT days off last Monday and the previous Friday. So I haven't been in the office much in the last couple of weeks.
It only took me an hour back at work for me to become totally disgusted with it all.
But at least Dean and I started talking about going back to France, probably in May, so I am trying to keep some perspective.
I now have purchased exactly two holiday gifts, but the goal for tomorrow is to complete the shopping one way or another!
