THE SAUDA VOICE

Your Favorite Girl is Back

Did You Miss Me?

---

 

Hey, everybody!  I'm back!  I hoped to be back before now, but my body had other ideas. 

 

About three weeks ago, I contracted some kind of stomach virus.  I'm talking nausea, stomach cramps, vomiting - the works.  It finally subsided a week or so after it hit and I had a few days of "feeling good."  Then, all of a sudden, my throat was scratchy, body ached, head and body were sweating every other hour, I was congested and full of phlegm, my body ached, I couldn't eat, and I was constantly coughing.  In other words, I had contracted the flu.  Talk about feeling miserable.  I kept wondering:  Am I being punished?

 

And when I thought the misery would never come to an end, my appetite started to return and I didn't throw up or become nauseous when I finally tried to eat again.  First good sign.  Next, I was able to move around and run an errand or two without feeling weak or having to lay down ten minutes after starting the activity.  Second good sign.  And when I was finally able to talk without sounding like a busted and broke-down Barry White or coughing every thirty seconds (which made it virtually impossible to rest or fall asleep at night), I knew I could see a light at the end of the tunnel.  I was on the mend. And by this past weekend, I felt 95% like my old self and only had an occasional cough.  Yeah!  I'm back, baby!

 

So, Dr. Stephanie has officially given herself the "Okay to Blog Again" school and work pass.  And, it's a good thing, too.  I have a lot I want to dig into and discuss.  Stay tuned.

Out Sick ... Again

Hey, Family!  Apparently, my immune system is shot because I've come down with yet another bug.  I just got over some sort of stomach virus last week and now I'm fighting a severe cold.  Talk about feeling miserable.

 

My apologies 'cause it looks like I'm going to be MIA this week.  And, I had a lot I wanted to talk about: Herman Cain's seeming rise in the GOP (their Great Black Hope), Rick Perry and the N-Word, Hank Williams Comparing Obama to Hitler, and on and on.  Oh, well.  Politicians' stupidity will still be there to talk about when I'm feeling better.  LOL!! 

 

Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know what's up.  I'm not slacking, just not as healthy as I would like at the moment.  Keep your fingers crossed that I kick this thing in the next few days.  I got stuff to write about, darn it!  LOL!

 

Sauda Voice is Disappearing .... Sort of

---

 

Hello, family!  Your girl is existing in a crazy state of chaos at the moment.  What else is new, right?  I'm working on a personal project that is taking up a lot of my time and zapping my intellectual reserves.  In other words, your girl can't think or even string two sentences together by the end of each night, which is typically when I write my posts for the next day. 

 

So, until this project of mine is finished (end of July), my posts will likely be minimal and sporadic at best.  At least over the next few weeks.  Please be patient with me.  It won't last forever.  I promise. 

 

Thanks for understanding and sticking with me, family.  I truly appreciate you and your continued readership.

 

Sauda Voice, Where Have You Been?

---

 

Hey, family!  I know you have been wondering where I disappeared to.  My apologies for being MIA these past two weeks.  It wasn't planned. 

 

I wish I could tell you that I took a last-minute trip to some sexy locale, but that wasn't the case.  I was simply emotionally and intellectually drained.  In all honesty, I've been feeling this way for the past year.  However, I think it all caught up to me these past couple of weeks.  Call it my "Come to Jesus" moment.  Let's just say I realized I'm not Superwoman.  Shocking, I know.  LOL!!  I had to accept that I can't be all things to all people. Trust me, it's far harder than it sounds. 

 

Anyway, rest assured.  I'm back.  As things get back on track - and my sanity returns - you'll begin to see more and more posts with my usual TSV banter and opinion.  Thanks for your support, everyone!! 

Sauda Voice is M.I.A. (But Only Temporarily)

Hey, family!  I have to take a temporary hiatus in order to take care of some personal business.  Thus, there will not be any new posts for approximately two weeks.  My apologies.  It can 't be helped.  Don't worry, though.  Your girl will be back!  Until then, feel free to look around and check out some of my older posts.  Hey, I've been around for almost three years now so there is much to see.
