Coffee! Excuse me, I’m just really excited to be drinking coffee this morning. It’s been over a week since I’ve had any, because our house was stricken with a case of viral pharyngitis right before we were schedule to have Kevin’s little birthday party/Duck Dynasty House Party. (We’re hoping to reschedule, but I’m not sure when it will happen yet.) The poor guy was sick on his birthday and my gift for taking care of him for four days was a case of the germies. Almost a full week later, I am beginning to feel a bit better and he’s near completely recovered. Raise a celebratory cup of coffee!
