kcobwebTo sum up:
* We got everyone sick for Christmas! Whee! For Christmas breakfast, everyone had various quickbreads and a glass of Emergen-C.
* Elena was also sick for Christmas - had a rough night, didn't want to get up even for PRESENTS, and then was totally overwhelmed and overstimulated. She got a lot of great stuff though.
* On Boxing Day we saw a couple of friends, and then everyone slept (see above, re: SICK).
* We made all our flights yesterday, but only with the traditional breakneck-heartpounding-run-through-O'Hare (I never *see* anything in that airport - just lights flashing by), which was made all the more lovely by my collapsing at the gate in a Very Special Coughing Fit. Then we found out that the flight attendants for the Albany flight were coming from.... the plane we'd just been on, so we should have had no need to run.
* Elena slept for a huge portion of the day.
* Of course, my baggage did not make it on that flight, but the box of Christmas presents did arrive with us (barely surviving the trip, actually).
* And then I was up half the night coughing again.
* Today is officially a lazy day - we all slept in till 10 (Elena didn't even get to bed till 1, and we were later than that), and there will be many naps and cups of tea. And waiting for baggage. Period.
* The word "wrecked" has been used to describe how I feel all too often for the past 3 weeks. MAKE IT STOP.
* Very happy to be home. Yay.
ETA: United now claims that my bag will be delivered sometime tonight! Wooo! (Do we believe them? *grin*)

Date: 2008-12-29 04:25 pm (UTC)I can relate, as I got the Peruvian Death Flu and spent the morning of the 24th (which was present-opening day for a variety of reasons) huddled under three blankets isolated as far away from the family as possible, whilst coughing and sneezing and generally moaning.
Then found out that what I had actually was the flu, so the 13 other people that were there all got to go get various preventative medicines later that day! Wheeee!
I can only imagine what it would've been like to have to travel and run through an airport with all that. Ugh.
Merry Sickmas!
