The Sinus Blighted Cuppa ...

So June started in a flurry of motivation and inspiration

and ended in a mound of tissues and a truly disgusting sinus infection

which is kind of gross but there it is

it also means that I didn't quite make the planned 30 tea cups and mugs

for the first month of my Cuppa With Friends Project 

which I am combining with the Index Card A Day Challenge over at Daisy Yellow

but to tell you the truth I am shocked I hung in there and completed this many

the only worrying thing is that people may come to expect such consistency and commitment from me in the future

Day 28 mug from Colleayn

I went close to the magic number but fell short on the last few days

mainly because I was buried somewhere under the mound of tissues

quietly moaning and feeling that there was a good chance that I was dying

and even though my nearest and dearest were telling me I probably wouldn't die

I think they were secretly deathly afraid of just how snotty and disgusting I was

Day 27 mug from Michelle

I spent feverish hours composing my last words

croaking out orders for tea and eating vegemite toast

and lamenting that I never got to learn to tap dance

which is an indicator as to just how deathly sick I was because I am not normally a fan

in fact tap dancing is up there with beach volleyball and synchronized swimming

 as hysterically funny pastimes in my book

Day 26 mug from Kristin's Grandmother, Effie

Other than the weird tap dancing moment and not getting my quota of mugs and cups done

the only other downside was that I haven't had any of those mad fever dreams

I love it when you wake up and you realize you have been dreaming of cows doing the hula

while being transported on a giant my little pony who speaks like a mad Irishman

 and fighting off bamboo men who are defeated by your mad manicure skills

those weird and crazy dreams are the fun part of being sick

but sadly this time my brain has been behaving itself

mind you I am not quite free of the dreaded lurgy so there is still a chance

Day 24 Mug from Teresa

I will come clean and admit I have never pretended to be a good patient

and I think a bit of self pity helps the healing process along

but even I am a touch embarrassed by my level of patheticness

not that I am going to be less annoying over the next few days while the magic drugs to do their thing after all I have a reputation to maintain

I will just continued to be a touch embarrassed about it

Day 25 Mug from Jez

Somewhere in there I did get some cards done though

and they were hugely fun, all very different but each one made me smile

and this morning I got to stick them all on the wall 

and see them as a huge group which was even more fabulous

and I feel totally renewed and motivated to get stuck back into it

whenever I am not busy being pathetic that is... xx
