Wow - pay attention - this is your Mother speaking!  When that popping in your ears and the scratchy little cough doesn’t go away after a couple of weeks, do something about it!   I’m the queen of the, “Oh it will get better by itself” club so when the flu I had a month ago dragged on in a slightly annoying way, I ignored it.  But after a couple of scary episodes of dizzyness and almost fainting, I took myself to the doctor.

Turns out I have a deep-seated viral congestion in my sinuses and lungs and it still makes me very tired.  So now I’m taking a vast assortment of things for at least 10 days to get rid of it.  They are starting to help though, so I’m going to work diligently to catch up with my blog posts and newsletters.    Take care of yourselves out there…
