Hot and Cold
A photo of Dougie and Nebby that I've posted before. Right now they are anxiously awaiting their daily shower and (destructive) romp in the bathroom. I've been awake for a couple of hours. Woke up sneezing and felt very hot, so much so that I thought my son had really cranked up the heat. He hadn't. The thermostat is still set below 60F (but that's not the actual temp in here, it's more like 62). I lay awake trying to remember two dreams, one about overeating and the other about being 20 years old and being a new receptionist! I felt too ill to pursue thinking about the (not so interesting) dreams and instead worried about all the projects at work enough so I couldn't get back to sleep.
The sore throat has gone away but in its place is a headache, stuffed up nose and general not-feeling-so-well. Nevertheless, if this was a work day, I'd be getting ready for work. I've only stayed home sick a handful of days in my entire (long!) working career. Now I'm suddenly feeling too cold and will need to put on a sweater or robe and make some coffee. Mint tea will help later, but first the coffee!
I worked late last night and after that was looking for a birthday card for my younger brother. He has a milestone birthday on Monday and I haven't been able to find a decent card for him. I was hungry and crabby by the time I finally got home last home. Good thing there was still some leftovers so I didn't have to start cooking, too! What made me extra crabby was that my brother hadn't sent me a birthday card this year, nor come to see my new house. I'm trying to take the nobler road by sending him a card, but will still gripe (just to you) about it! Well, have a great weekend!

What a pair we are. Just got back from the docs and it is a chest infection and I have strong antibiotics to take.
I am the same as you about siblings. My sister never remembers my son's birhtday but usually remembers my daughters! I too take the nobler road and always send her a card and a presant at her birthday.
Look after yourself - have a rest. Dougie and Nebby look a handful.
Hope you feel better soon.
Its that time of year when the weather is changing and we get sick.
Take care of yourself and I hope you get better soone.
Sory to hear your brother hasn't been by yet but I'm sure he will :)
Send him an e-card---then you won't have to take your sick self outdoors, unless you want to. I haven't bought a birthday card in such a long time---if I'm going to see the person, no card; if I'm writing I buy something pretty but blank and write my own note---either appropriate or not. I've seldom found a greeting card that said what i really wanted to say. but maybe that says more aobut me than about greeting cards.
So sorry for you feeling so badly. I bet it's rough feeling like that and still having to bathe the critters in their excited state. Cuties.
Good for you PBS on being the "nobler" one! Hopefully it may make him feel like a real sap LOL!!
