I have all ready PMed my SS this, and am simply informing the thread and mods of the thread of this as well.
I have come down with an AWFUL cold. I have never felt this bad in my life, truly. I'm dizzy, feeling like I'm going to hurl, and I have a migraine the size of Texas. I can barely move without feeling pain. Light and sound hurt to be in the presence of. Yeah, I've gotten sick several times in my life - but NOTHING like this. This cold trumps every stinkin' cold I've ever gotten in my entire life. I can't breathe right thanks to the cold kicking up my asthma to horrendous levels, and I'm in horrible pain. I spend literally 90% of my day in bed, and when I'm not in bed I'm roaming about my house moaning, wishing I could go back to sleep. And when I do try to sleep, I end up waking up an hour later to coughing attacks that keep me up for another hour, if not longer. Oh, and when I wake up in the middle of the night coughing, I have no choice but to use my inhaler. The medication in my inhaler wires me, and keeps me awake for two to three hours longer - which is when I SHOULD be sleeping.
On top of all this, I still have reason to believe I have not gotten all of my SS art. X( I have most of it, and I have no idea when the rest of it will be done.
If I'm not feeling any better by January 10 - the end date for this - I sincerely apologize, but I will be late with my art. I am so sorry about this - trust me, I did not plan on getting sick. No, I'm not looking for sympathy - but prayers would be appreciated, if you don't mind doing so.

My entire family has now come down with this thing, and I'm just hoping it's over soon.
Again, I apologize about this, and sincerely hope I am well enough to deliver my gifts on time.
Now, I'm off to bed. Have a good day/night, everyone, and Merry (belated) Christmas and (belated) Happy New Year!
