that flu packs a punch and changes your plans a bit
feeling better some---although i am left with not much to say or share--there has been no cooking or third floor dreams---only bleak thoughts and mindless wondering
as usual i feel like i have put my life on hold or early release so to speak----did i mention my hatred of this cold-stark----dirty looking messy season known as winter----really quite a lovely name
today i have to say i could almost imagine myself making a big pot of soup---not sure anyone would want to partake of it, after the steaming liquid would most likely have me coughing ferociously over it
i have managed to secure a few valentine goodies for the grand-kids---something i take some pleasure in----and as much as i was over and over the holidays----have also filled a drawer with clearance Christmas junk----yes shopping does still interest me--thank goodness for that
i have not started my ancestry thing---but have been heavy into some medical research----once long ago, i wanted to be a doctor of research---or an archeologist ----then an actor---where i could pretend to be both------
and lately i have given much--okay some----thought to leaving---my kids--great words of wisdom--you know things i can tell them about life and lessons i have learned-----but then i realized i didn't have anything to say---i would have to lie---but hey isn't that what a good mother does
Don't sell yourself short: I'm sure you have lots of wisdom to share. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better soon.
i am not too sure about that anymore, i may have shared all the wisdom---just moody observations now---thanks dana--i hope you are feeling well too :)
DeleteI hope you feel better soon Lynn. This stuff can really hang around for a while. Soup sounds good :)
ReplyDeleteman it really does---i started this stuff two weeks ago this coming monday---the soup does appeal to me thanks
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better! Make that pot of soup. Who knows, it might actually make you feel better and soup is especially great in cold weather.
ReplyDeletei had some soup, ms. a but just the noodle kind and robyn made it for me---might be making mine in a few---hope you are well!
DeleteWisdom is a peculiar thing. It comes then goes, confusing me constantly.
ReplyDeletei know what you mean susan---mine has it's times--just not in a while ;)
DeleteWonderful delirium. Are you channeling Faulkner? Glad you're feeling better, with more to come.
ReplyDeleteyour reply ended up under susan's joanne!
DeleteHope you get by that flu. I shouldn't say it, but I never get the flu even when the rest of the family gets it. Strange in a lucky sort of way.
ReplyDeletei hope your luck keeps up this year susan---awful stuff!
Deletehaha i wish---thanks my dear :)
ReplyDeleteDrats to that flu, Lynn. It has been making its rounds in CA and not nice ones, either. Here's to health and a wonderful Valentine's Day you and your grand kids!
ReplyDeletethanks lee the same to you!!
DeleteHang in there Lynn. Spring is just around the corner - (both literally and metaphorically.)
ReplyDeletei know---just got back in after being out in the sunshine---feeling better, thanks joy :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're under the weather. If post-nasal drip is the root of the evil right now, try NeilMed sinus rinse. That, and sleep and warm showers, and giving yourself endless permission to relax and be easy on yourself.
ReplyDeletei do think this flu has been hard on my sinuses haha thanks cynthia :)
ReplyDeleteI know what these winter bugs do Lynn, you have my sympathy. I've woken this morning feeling the best I have in the last four weeks.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to complete projects one thinks would be nice for family posterity, but there's always something to put gremlins in the works.
I wouldn't worry about coughing over a pan of soup, my step mother nearly always had a nose drip while she cooked.
Hope you're feeling much better now.
glad you are feeling better!!! haha that soup probably boiled any germs out --thanks for the laugh :)
DeleteOh my. I sure hope my mother hasn't been lying to me all these years. Actually, I know she hasn't. Yup. She's pretty blunt. *shrugs* Anyhow, LYNN, NO MORE BEING SICK. You hear me? That's an order!
ReplyDeleteAnd while I'm demanding things, here's some virtual cheese to smooth over your rough month. Take care, my friend.
haha the most blunt moms still lie sometimes to protect their children---thanks for that cheese crystal--and i am feeling better--and would you believe i just ate a piece of cheese--really!!!
ReplyDeleteYes! See, you knew I was popping in--in the back of your mind--and you had to preempt my bossiness. ;)
Deletehaha you are too cute!!
DeleteWinter can be so icky and depressing. Life can be that way. I often feel tempted to just give everything (or mostly) up and start over....but my husband reminds me never to make a decision when I feel emotional. Hope you are feeling better :-)
ReplyDeletegood advice--and yes i am feeling better--hope you are doing well monica :)
