Signed, Sealed, Delivered with a Twist

To fill you in regarding my dilemma on the prior post, I managed to shop for gifts in one day--yes, one whole day--which included the long-overdue grocery shopping an hour before the mall closes. I felt a sense of accomplishment despite the fatigue. Upon getting home, instead of breathing a much-deserved sigh of relief, things bought had to be put away on their designated areas. I had postponed the gift-wrapping for the next couple of days because as soon as I saw my big, cozy bed all things seemed unimportant. Good thing I had family presents all wrapped and ready on the 23rd and all the other presents on the 24th. I met the deadline!!!

Then misfortune struck combined with a hint of sadness, a teaspoon of bitterness, and a whole lot of hopelessness...

What are the chances of experiencing the same excruciating pain twice over a span of let's say one month? Ha! In my case...100%. Imagine this: After recovering from the procedure done earlier this month, symptoms begin to resurface. There grew another abscess but this time on my left outer thigh! Thus the reason of my dormancy in the blogging world. Aside from being in pain (again) and my computer going crazy on me, my soul is really dampened with how things are going this holiday season. Enveloped in mixed emotions, I spent days and nights crying and wondering why these things are happening to me and why now...of all times.

And again...a lousy "Happy New Year" greeting to everyone...sheesh...
