Turns out I didn't just have a case of jet lag but that I also had a  case of the flu. I woke up on December 30th with a fever of 101 degrees.  <em>Phew</em>. No wonder I was having such strange dreams.

So it  meant that I was sick for the Emigh family Christmas and for New Year's  Eve. But at least I was at home. Moms make everything better.

Luckily  for the first day of the New Year I am feeling much better. That means  I've got a week left of life in Walla Walla and I've got to get busy  enjoying it!!

My dAd has been heckling me for the last 12 or so  hours to let all of my readers know that he doesn't have the flu and has  been posting about our family Christmas. So maybe just maybe you need  to <a href="http://wallawallalocal.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">check his blog out</a>.  I mean, he does take great pictures and you can see the beautiful  hand-crafted wooden box my bother made for me and a few of my gifts from  Bulgaria.
