NOT A CREATURE IS STIRRING.....

BUT ME. IT IS NOW 1:16 IN THE MORNING OF THURSDAY AND I AM STILL WIDE AWAKE. I HAVE TAKEN A HOT BATH, SWALLOWED TWO HORSE SIZE PILLS OF ANTIBIOTIC, TAKEN A SUDOGEST FOR A STUFFY NOSE, PUT EYE DROPS IN BOTH EYES, HAD AT LEAST 10 DRINKS OF WATER AND GONE TO THE BATHROOM 4 TIMESAND I AM STILL AWAKE. WHILE LYING IN BED, I HAD SO MANY THOUGHTS GO THROUGH MY HEAD, I THOUGHT I WOULD JOT THEM DOWN.

. I HAVE NOT DONE HARDLY ANY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

. CLEAN KITCHEN FLOORS ARE OVER RATED

. I DO NEED A NEW CLEANING LADY (I STINK)

. I CAN'T FIND THE SNOW SHOVEL

. MY HALLOWEEN PUMPKINS ARE IN A FOOT OF SNOW

. I HAVE ALREADY CALLED IN SICK FOR TODAY

. LOTS OF OLDER LADIES WEAR FROWNS MOST OF THE TIME

. I DO NOT LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE HAND ME THEIR NASAL MOISTURIZER BOTTLE THAT HAS BEEN UP THEIR NOSE

. I'M HUNGRY

. IT IS GOING TO BE A VERY LONELY CHRISTMAS WITH NO CHILDREN HERE

. I DO NOT THINK I WILL PUT UP MY BIG CHRISTMAS TREE

. I LOVE WATCHING "MR. KRUGER'S CHRISTMAS" ( I DID THAT IN THE TUB)

. WHEN WILL THE OWNER OF "MIKE'S PHARMACY" FIND SOMEONE TO REPLACE ME AT WORK?

. MY EYE BROWS ARE REALLY BUGGING ME

. PEOPLE LOVE TO HOVER OVER THE PHARMACY COUNTER

. A MAN SHOVELED OUR WALK AT WORK TODAY WHILE WE FILLED HIS PILLS.... IT WAS SO THOUGHTFUL OF HIM.

. LADIES ARE CHEAP (WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??? I LOVE TO BUY STUFF

. MEN DO NOT BUY GIFTS AT MY STORE, I NEED A STRATEGY FOR THAT PLEASE

. MY HUSBAND KISSED ME GOODNIGHT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE DREADED GONBU(SP)

. I THINK I WILL MAKE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP TODAY

. I WILL BE SLEEPING IN AS SOON AS THE MEDICINE PUTS ME TO SLEEP

. I WOULD RATHER HAVE SURGERY THAN A COLD AND FLU ( I RECOUP SO MUCH FASTER)

. I THINK I WILL WATCH MY SOAP OPERA TODAY ( ONCE IN THREE MONTHS I SHOULD CATCH RIGHT UP)

. WONDERING ABOUT OUR FAMILY PICTURES (THAT IS WHEN MY EYE BROWS STARTED BUGGING ME)

. I'M STARTING TO FEEL DROWSY SO I THINK I WILL GO LAY DOWN AGAIN.

. GOOD MORNING TO ALL AND HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

. AND P.S. I LOVE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS
