I only posted 2 posts to our blog last week. I have not gone anywhere and am working to get back into the swing of my routine. Both Nestor and I got sick about 3 weeks ago. We are still quite under the weather. I usually blog very late at night and over the past few weeks I have been falling asleep as I was blogging... not good! 
At the same time as us getting sick which BTW- this is the first time we have been sick in several years- we started getting more calls than usual from our expired letter mailing program, past clients and referrals from local attorneys who send their short sale prospects to us. This was a very good problem to have and just getting the energy to talk to all these wonderful sellers, giving them our all- well, it was quite the challenge.
We also had 3 closings last week and then trying to save this Freddie Mac deal that we posted about- all the closings had issues and racing against time deadlines the short sale lenders place on our sellers- again, great problems to have- nothing to complain about- nevertheless, getting and maintaining the energy levels needed for all these tasks and situations even with our full time assistants was very difficult.
I am also running my SEO To The Top Webinar, Coaching and keeping up with our son's homeschool lessons and activities. I was almost thankful when my son also got sick so that I did not have to deal with the energizer bunny all day long on top of everything else.
We would do a couple of things, then had to lay down for 30 minutes, then do some more and repeat this process over and over again. Now we are detoxing our bodies to get all the junk out that is left behind when you get sick, building our immunity levels and staying away from crowds and shaking hands so that we don't get a relapse. Even the energy it takes to get well by preparing raw foods, teas, detox tonics, etc gets drained quickly!
I guess when you get past 50 it just may take longer to heal than when you are a spring chicken!
So hang in there with me- I am getting back to my routine of blogging- first I need to do some localism stuff for google juice then I will post the tutorials in between all of the local posts.
Thanks for reading!

I hope that the mending takes place quickly. Not having the usual energy just in no fun and very frustrating.
Be well!
Katerina, I hope you are well on the way to recovery. You know, it is important not to overtax yourself right after a bout of illness - you don't want relapse. Hang in there.
I hope you will be back to full speed soon! When I was sick in September it seemed to last forever but at least it I didn't feel too terrible.....just puny most of the time.
Glad to hear things are improving! It's good to have you back in the fold and it is always nice to have three closings in a short time!
Hope you will get back in your swing soon!
Katerina --- I knew that you had not been feeling well in the SEO webinar --- here's hoping that you can jump back to normal quickly-- yesterday, I posted on a Trulia Blog and referenced an AgentOwned post on AR --- hoping to get higher on Google -- will keep you posted.

Hi Katerina..or should I say Super Mum, Coach, Realtor and Friend and Blogger..My Mum used to say if you burn the candle at Both ends it'll catch up with you..Sorry, just an observation..you need to take time for yourself once in a while and charge your batteries.
Cheers
Hope you are on the way up! Get yourselves a big bottle of hand sanitizer! All the best to get back to speed. Hey, I thought an Apple a day keeps the doctor away!
Hope you are up and around soon.
It is not easy getting older and I recognized that when I got jumped here in Chicago and it took a full week for me to "catch my breath". Being sick is not easy and I am so glad that both of you are on the mend.
Isn't it amazing how the business continues because you are running it correctly even when you are sick.
Take care.
Thank you everyone! Your comments warm my heart!
Dick and Dixie- Yep Those APPLES should have kept us healthy:) LOL! I think I will complain to Steve about that:)
Hi Nestor and Katerine,
Glad to hear you are feeling better and look forward to reading your posts in the weeks ahead. Take good care and don't get going full speed ahead until you are ready!!
Hi, Katerina. It's hard when everyone is down at the same time! Glad you're all feeling better.
Katerina- Hope you and family are all recovered soon! 50 is the new 30 by the way!!
Hi K & N, So sorry to hear about you recent illness. What a bummer you were both sick at the same time. I don't think that's happened to me & Roger. He has been well when I am sick, so thankfully he could take care of things, Mostly me! I remember a few years back being so sick I could not even raise a cup of herbal tea to my mouth. It took weeks to feel normal again!
We take Olive Leaf Extract & grapefruit seed extract at the first sign of illness. It really helps. Feel better soon!
I KNOW you guys are going to be getting back in the swing of things.....
I am SOoo glad you are healthy now.....
BOTH of you!!
=-)
Superwoman got sick?! I am glad you and Nestor are getting better. You need to clone yourself, Katerina!
