A couple winters ago we had FIVE WEEKS of passing sickness around. We'd go maybe 2 days with everyone healthy and then someone would get a sinus or ear infection. I washed and disinfected everything, I mean EVERYTHING--pillows, mattresses, curtains, shampooed the carpet, alchohol on the phone, replaced toothbrushes, 100 loads of laundry, etc. Finally it all came to an end but here I am 2 yrs later and still shell-shocked by it. :D
I know what you mean--once you get off your routine, it's so hard to get back on. Congrats on the weight loss. I need to make some granola. With my crazy campaign schedule, being on the road so much, I've really blown the diet thing. Granola really helps me stay away from sugars and cut cravings. Today we're having taco bean soup--beans are another thing that help me with cravings.
One of my favorite songs is "Wonderful Merciful Savior" by Selah. Not sure if it is in your range, though. It's very evangelical but I'd love to hear it sung in church sometime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQzrqmcwg8o
