Too Sick to Blog

I'm going on day seven of what has turned out to be one of the nastier cold/flus of my lifetime. Most of us here in the extended Toews household have been suffering to one degree or another and Keziah and I seem to have been hit the worst.
At any point in time the 2 of us can be found amidst a pile of used tissues, breathing heavily through our mouths and speaking with a nasal accent. It's quite lovely.

The worst part for me is that I haven't been able to smell or taste anything for 3 loooong days. Really, for someone who finds a lot of joy in eating, it is........ depressing.

But I've been trying to look on the bright side. I also can't smell any offensive odours (i.e. dirty diapers - which can also be a slight problem when a certain 2 year old is walking around in one for almost an hour before I notice) and when I'm hungry I try to fill myself up on really healthy things because there is no satisfaction in eating anything that actually tastes good. I'm thinking I could patent plugged olefactory receptors as a very effective weight-loss tool...

I'm just hoping we can make a full recovery for our big weekend wedding coming up! And shortly after that (as in one week from today-ish) we are leaving on our 2nd annual summer-long stay in Manitoba!

Wow - is it just me, or did this year go by super fast?
