Emerging

I’ve been sick with a nasty cold for almost a week now and finally I feel like I’m almost human again. Studly Doright was sick, as well, only his illness was due to a change in medications. We made a fine pair for the Thanksgiving holiday.

While everyone else was chowing down on turkey and dressing, pumpkin pie, and that wonderful canned cranberry sauce, Studly and I were heating up canned soup and having Mucinex for dessert. Yum, yum.

Of course he felt well enough to play golf on this Saturday morning. As he left, I brandished my raised fist at him, saying, “Okay, if you get sick again I am NOT taking care of you.”

He just patted me on the head and laughed before leaving.

I can’t imagine why he wasn’t intimidated.

Okay, the photo is motivation to get myself back into the world of the living. It’s going to take a lot of work.

Peace, people.

  1. Well, I guess you missed out crushing those Black Friday sales that we have been getting emails about since, oh, I don’t know….Halloween, maybe?! I hope you feel better very soon!

    1. Thanks! I know exactly where I caught this cold. I had a dental appointment and the hygienist kept taking off her mask to cough and sneeze. She’d say “don’t worry; it’s just allergies,” then go right back to working on me. Argh! I wish I’d asked her to reschedule me.

      1. Someone needs to send that hygienist back to college for some in depth reviews of infection control. Why would she EVER be messing with her mask in the midst of a patient procedure. Makes you wonder what else she’s passed around…

  2. Being sick on a holiday sucks! It seems I always spend Thanksgiving trying so hard not to cough up a lung into the dressing. It is absolutely miserable. I’m glad you were able to just take it easy and care for yourselves, though. Hope you are doing better!
