It's Alive!


Yes!

Rising from the swampy mire of sweat soaked bedsheets!

Shuffling through soggy marsh of tissues overflowing onto the bedroom floor!

Trailing vapors of menthol!

Pushing back a snarl of Medusa hair!

72 hours in bed, but this ain't no sleeping beauty, folks!

BUT!  It's Alive!


Had to have been the worst cold ever...or possibly the mildest flu (though I did have the flu shot).  Far from 100% now, but able to stand upright.

  1. Well, good for you, Olga.

  2. I've been hearing more and more people mention this type of cold/flu. It really seems to hang in there. Apparently it has gone into an epidemic and I hope it doesn't. Get better soon.

  4. One of my Zumba friends came back after a couple of weeks. She said she really had a terrible flu with fever and chills. She had the flu shot too. Darn. I'm glad you're out of bed now and feeling a little better. I wish I could bring you a pot of chicken soup.

  5. So glad you are rejoining the living. I only had one viscous night that I wasn't sure I'd survive but that was the worst of it. Guess you and I have gotten ours punies out of the way. Feel really well soon.

  8. Everyone around here sounds and feels the same. Only few have fever with it and most attribute the illness to allergies. I have a bad cough but none of the other symptoms and count myself lucky... knock on wood. I send you my wishes for a recovery soon.

  9. You poor thing! I was grandsitting and felt awful one day. I threw up (haven't done that in years!) and felt all better!

  10. Same here but staying in bed does nothing for me except bore the hell out of me. Can't sleep when I am hacking and coughing every 5 minutes. This is rather an amazing mucus event!

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
