~A Trip To The E.R. And A Surprise Package~

I spent the day in the E.R. as I woke up Monday morning unable to swallow my throat was hurting so badly.
When I went to the E.R. They said that it is an upper respiratory infection that has to just run it’s coarse.
Definitely Iam feeling nauseated and tired.
Iam postponing going back to work till Friday I was suppose to go back to work Tuesday but there was no way I would be able to.
I feel dizzy like my equilibrium is off kilter . When I came home Monday night there was a package from my hot cocoa swappin 2 buddy, boy was Channons timing perfect:)
She was a super swap buddy she not only sent me a wonderful package of goodies but sent gifts for everyone in my family even precious our cat got a special treat:)
What an extra special surprise it was that it was a dear blogging friend who spoiled me.
Channon had asked me as my secret pal if there was anything she could send for Tom and the girls and asked me what the girls favorite colors are.
In the package was a gift card for Tom for Starbucks in a cute cupcake card with a bow and she sent the girls a book they love called love from woolly.
Chan sent me a beaded necklace she made herself that I love in purple with green beads.
There was a Hiya Hiya needle gauge,soap from soapalooza called Tangy Tangerine that smells like orange dreamsicles and brings back childhood memories of chasing the ice cream truck down for one:)
There was a wooden sheep key chain,pez sheep key chain,and my blah buster buddy which Alora named patchy the sheep and the girls have been playing with continually;)
#9 Brittany dpn’s and #10 Bryspun rosewood dpn’s,Starbucks chocolate covered graham crackers which the girls enjoyed I got one;)
There was a Starbucks tumbler mug,and clover point protectors large and small.
There is Cocoa Mayan Blend by Hershey’s and Land O Lakes Madagascar vanilla brimming with chocolaty flakes which I cant wait to try when my tummy settles.
There were sticky arrows which I needed as Iam almost out of the ones I already have.
Chan sent cat treats for precious our cat.I saved the yarn for last Chan knows Iam liking bulky yarns right now so she sent me blue sky alpaca bulky in a powder blue color yum!!!
So that I can knit my girls each something she sent classic elite extra fine merino pink for Alora and purple for Athena that is why she had asked as my secret pal what their favorite colors were:)
There is a sheep note pad with pen.
