Germ Magnet

Contrary to popular belief, I did not drop off the face of the planet.

Yes, my last post was on January 22, and I promised to resume posting once the norovirus vacated my system. Well, it took about 7 days for it to do so. Count them - seven. That was seven days of wretched misery and I haven't been sick like that since I was a kid.

Then, lucky me, I was healthy for about one and a half weeks before I came down with an upper respiratory infection. That little bastard hung around in full force for about 3 days, and I felt the after effects for another week.

But wait! It wasn't over! Fast forward another two weeks and say hello to bronchitis and a sinus infection! These little gems left me with a 102 degree fever and the feeling that I was going to cough up my lungs right there on the living room floor.

Presently I'm in the recovery stage of the bronchitis and sinus infection - still in recovery because I still need to dose myself with the lovely cough syrup with codeine so I can sleep properly at night (you know, without hacking up a lung). Hey, at least I'm well rested.

You might think that all this sickness has been the reason I've neglected posting. For the most part, it is. But, one thing being sick did was inspire me to come up with a brand new section at the puppytoes.net store.

Wait! Before you run off to check out all the new stuff - it's not there yet!

That's the other reason I've neglected posting - I've been designing, uploading images, slowly populating the new section with products, and redesigning the store's home page to include links to the new designs. I'm still working on it, but I hope to have all the great new stuff ready to roll out in about two weeks.

But what is the new stuff all about? Well, you're going to have to wait and see, but I will say - besides being great inspiration for new designs, being sick so much has had one more benefit - I can actually fit into my skinny jeans!

Keep an eye out in the coming weeks for all our new stuff!
