HALLO EVERYONE ! !

Goodness me, where do I start ?
Let me start by THANKING all the bloggers &
anonymous readers who left well wishes and kind
words on my comment box - IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED !
Many readers must have thought I've done the
disappearing act, but let me tell you, I haven't done
a "runner", I'm still here, quite honostly I didn't even find
the time to run away, although I've had my moments where
I'd have dearly liked to dig a hole to China!

Due to the fact that Mr.CC's been in Hospital for over
7 weeks, I haven't had time to do much of anything.
a Daily sprint to the Hospital, sometimes more than
once a day, and running around to keep up with the house-
hold chores etc. - and trying to make sense out of Doctors,
can be very tiring, not to mention my frame of mind !

When my husband ended up and remained in Hospital
the way he did - my world practically fell apart, and then
it took it's toll on me.

For many weeks I suffered from lack of sleep, I barely
managed to keep two eyelids together for a little as
1/2 hour and if I was lucky it was 1 hour each night.
Anxiety and extreme nervous tension were my constant
companions.
My appetite hopped on the nearest jet plane and left me
completely on my own.
Now my poor ribs are complaining about the 6 lost kilos.

I'm writing all the sordid details, so that readers and
blogger friends will have a little insight as to why I've
disappeared the way I did.

As if my troubles weren't enough, my computer decided to
strike as well, so I rushed to the basement, connected my
"Old faithful" standby Dell - and would you believe it - for
the first time in years, "she" decided to make my life a right
misery!
For some reason I cannot go on-line whenever I want - only
when "she's" in the mood (And once again I didn't have
the time to toy around with the silly thing for hours on end)
but when "she" decided to be nice and allow me a little
look-see, I'd rush to my mail box to check my mail - but I had
to be quick about it or else the computer crashes down and
gives me that all too familliar notice "The page cannot be displayed"

Today I was allowed on-line and that's when I found a few
mails from a friend informing me that my blog wasn't looking
too good.
When I "visited " my own blog a little while later, another
surprise awaited me - it was missing, simply wiped out, but
LO & BEHOLD ! I managed to save the blog by switching over to
beta blogger.

Until my computer has been serviced , I will try my best to
blog on my "Old faithful" Dell (She doesn't quite deserve
that name anymore, 'cause she's been a naughty girl) but
I will try my very best to keep on the blog - I've only been
absent for 40 days, but it feels like a whole lot longer, AND
I'VE TRULY MISSED YOU ALL !!

I cannot believe Old faithful allowed me this blog entry !!!
