...if it was a combination of the leftover brandy slush, one Drixoral and three Excedrin PM's, but I slept for 12 hours.  I haven't done that in a bazillion years. My mystery illness has vanished upon waking, more so, no more sore throat!  I could cry out of sheer joy!  A miracle!  I have to say, the sun is shining(for reals), the laundry is done(and folded and put away) and the trash is thrown out.  I feel so rested and refreshed.  I'm going skating.  Happy New Year!
