Good evening, campers! Did you miss me? I succumbed to the flu last week and spent the first two days of it sitting on our couch with the chills and fever. You know how that goes. I was only about 18 inches away from the heater, wrapped up in a blanket with my trusty hot water bottle and I was STILL cold! This was my view:
I spent my time watching things (The Cosby Show, Stargate) and reading – not a bad way to pass the time if you are UTW. The entire outdoor world ceased to exist for me, and the things of this world (i.e. my blog) faded away. It’s amazing how illness can reduce your life to the barest minimum of activities.
Day One of the Flu coincided with my husband’s birthday. We had invited our son and daughter-in-law over for a meal which was handy because I was able to text them that morning and press them into service making supper for us instead of the other way around. Best salmon we ever had. They lived with us for 8 months last year and I’ve missed their excellent cooking skills. I went around the house disinfecting everything before they got here and then hid in the basement like a leper while the food was being prepared. When I came to the table, a wall of poinsettias had been set up so my germs wouldn’t have easy access to their plates. It was all very semi-quarantine-ish. The disinfectant bottle and I were close chums by that time.
Anyway, I’ve hardly been outside for many days, but I’ll get back to my regular walking and writing now. There was a full moon recently and I rallied myself enough to go out and get a photo so I can end this blog post on a high note, photographically speaking.
I’ll probably delete this in the morning.
